For everyone complaining about the oil- look up naija stew and watch how much oil traditional recipes use. You can always pour out the oil. Idk why y'all complaining but are totally fine with dishes like aglio e olio.
He didn’t cook the Jollof rice long enough because my Nigerians know when cooking jollof the rice is supposed to rise and the oil is gone that’s when you know it’s finished 🇳🇬🇳🇬
Jesus is the only way to heaven. There is no other name given among men by which we must be saved. Repent now, your soul is at stake. John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
A lot of the process and technique for this dish are very similar to Malaysian's tomato rice and ayam masak merah (chicken in spicy tomato sauce/gravy). I am now very intrigued by the taste of the jollof rice and chicken stew. Will most definitely try the recipe.

Lighthouse Sniper that’s not my point? Senegalese people refer to jollof rice as riz rouge so in that way if we mention riz rouge people will mention the Senegalese riz rouge (which is eaten in the tieboudiène), doesn’t mean it’s not the same dish so in my eyes Senegalese people do it best.
I used to live with a Nigerian guy who was randomly assigned to my university apartment. I always saw him making a version this and it always smelt really good. His was slightly different he cooked the chicken in his rice and did it on the stove top not the over but looks very similar. Never really knew what he was making. He would make big pots of it and then eat it microwaved for a few days
Bro so true! Being of Naija heritage I can definitely tell you that even Nigerians argue about who are the best Nigerians self.

He’s officially “oil bae”. For real though, restaurant food is always gonna have a shitload of oil, butter, salt, and hopefully some msg too. That shrimp scampi you ordered probably has a whole damn stick of butter in it. And wars have been fought over salt. Countless more fights have happened over unseasoned chicken and steamed broccoli.
I was wondering about that. It looked like when I make jambalaya with a little too much liquid, but I figured that was the standard and still looked good. How does yours differ?
Brett Guidry I use bismati rice and very careful how much fluid I put in. Everything else he did was good, just the texture of the jollof is make or break
Just because someone is a chef doesn’t mean you can’t have an opinion or disagree... I guess the proof is in the taste but I agree the rice looks soft preferably the rice should be fluffy and separated...
*sigh*. This jollof is a no for me chef. Too much oil for the tiny bit of rice being cooked. Plantain is legit and the stew base i can get with. I’ll even give you the chicken stew although the chicken needed more seasoning than salt. Also where is the curry and thyme brah? Also also jollof in the oven is a diaspora thing. Electricity is an issue in most parts of west africa, you know we roll with gas or open fire 🔥 😂

Actually basmati rice is aged and is used in Persian, Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine more often. The main reason why we use basmati is because of the long grains, smell and flavour. However, from what I can infer, jollof has to seep in the juices from the meat and the curry. So in that case, the rice has to break down properly. In my view, basmati is ill suited for that. Btw, there is one other gem of Nigerian/West African cuisine that I really like. It's Fufu. The heavens were grateful when man invented Fufu. Like it's such a great vessel to scoop up meats and sauces!
souvik deb yeh here in the UK the majority of Ghanaian families I know use basmati, that’s a defining factor of their jollof but of course everyone’s different! I love pounded yam dumplings, another African delicacy

This was certainly interesting, I am happy to see more west African recipes appearing in western media. That said this is just ONE way to cook this dish many people use much less oil, less ripe plantain, fish instead of chicken etc so for all those complaining about oil content look around for other variations they will likely be just as delicious and fit your health concerns more
I'm Australian and plantains aren't something we generally have access to. My friend from the Dominican Republic cooked me some and MY GOODNESS they're different to anything I'd ever tasted
Why is are their so many Nigerians saying he’s cooking it wrong and this is not how Nigerians cook it?Jollof rice is not a Nigerian creation, it’s a west African creation which is cook differently in many parts of west African.
The original is Gambian I think and it's made with long grain rice. What you're forgetting is that the title says it's a NIGERIAN jollof rice and that's not how you cook it. Nobody uses the oven lol.
No bro, this is not Nigerian Jollof rice or any jollof rice for that matter! It's too soggy, no nigerian would serve that to anyone. Also, we boil our meat before frying and use the broth to cook the rice. Pls, work on not getting the rice soggy or mushy, you will love the look and taste of the jollof rice. Thanks for trying though. Much love.
People banging on, complaining about his recipe. You spend your time whinging about how he does his thing, whilst he's working as a chef. That's why he's successful and you're all kicking it in shithouses.
Jollof rice is from the Wolof tribe of Sénégambia. We're responsible for it's influence throughout West Africa. How it got changed to a tomato filled, plain, oily rice dish, idk 🤷🏿♀️. But original version will always be the best. Stop lying. I also love the Liberian version.
Honestly, I didn’t expect the comments to be so mean. Why do people do this? Do you think he hasn’t read this? Even if he has won’t he move on with his life. For those of you who don’t hear well, you know his from America so his ‘Naija Jollof Rice’ style won’t be the same. So what is the issue all about. Please mind your business. And remember it’s not by force to write a comment. Go look for work. Mtttchhhheeeww.
I bloody well love jollof rice but I've never been able to make it at all well, despite being a reasonably good cook. I used to have a Nigerian flatmate who cooked the most beautiful blow yer heid off jollof rice (it was that spicy) which is when I fell in love with it. I'm gonna give this version a go and see if I can get it right. If it works I might even start believing that there is a god.

I've never wanted to eat West African food more then watching this video. Damn he describes everything so perfectly that it just adds another level for me. The Pepper catch alone should make this man GOATED. Sleep well King.
Lifesaver for people like me🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️, who like quick, easy meals which dont take forever...... i enjoyed thia, good job Kwame.
Im turkish and live in germany
Gonna do this for my parents when they are back from vacation on friday
Oh man, looks so good I'll eat *jollof* it myself!
Nice try lol
Get out

Passion for food Ok, you can stay.
I mean, this joke *kinda* works
The way he says plantain made my heart hurt
Made it and I’m not Nigerian but one of the best things I’ve tasted
the most magical youtube moment ever... when he catches that pepper with his knife
He seasoned the chicken with SALT. He put the jollof in the OVEN. He said PLANTIN. He poured out EXCESS OIL. He used only TWO SPICES.
I'm heartbroken.
Bro that plantain be hitting different no cap
What
@@traitorjoseph1893 it's good
@@cool_sword so easier, much wow
@@traitorjoseph1893 "Bro, that plantain is on another level, no joke."

How confused can you be? You have a Ghanaian name 'Kwame' here talking about Nigerian jollof.
We are taking back our name 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Period😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Tell'em again! 😂... And to top it off the meal was terrible ffs🤦🏾♂️
Kwaku Junior 🤣😅🤣
He is half Ghanaian
Yes Bronx bday! I grow up in the Bronx, moved to Westchester, Pennsylvania, and now Florida. But the Bronx is always near and dear to my heart. I have to try to make that rice. I have a friend from Africa who makes it. It’s so good, I have to learn how to make it. Thanks for sharing
Errr we tried jollof rice for the very first time but it didn't look like this guy's. The one we ate look better 😆
That's cause his isn't jollof rice it's tomatoe rice
You missed so many key ingredients for the stew....like curry, maggi cubes, bay leaves, garlic powder, cumin, etc :(
He disgraced naija by having the nerve to post this bullshit.
He put all dem tings in lol
Who tf is using curry in jollof?
@@phantompage4304 everyone,
@@daisiesandpandas1218 not in ghana lol
Damn. I am missing a lot of international dishes. Hopefully, they establish more African cuisine here in my country. I cannot wait to try these dishes. :)))
What’s ur country?
Abdulla Masri Philippines.
try making it at home, it isn't too technically hard and while you learn about the cuisine you also enrich yourself and learn about the culture
Rice looked soggy, I've never eaten jellof before but I'm sure this ain't it
And you're right that definitely ain't it whatsoever
Wooow gosh tasty, i cook it different like nigerian (old style) pls 😂😂 don‘t slapp me 😂😂 but i am open for ideas, like to make my Hubby (comes from Nigeria 🇳🇬) happy. Thanks to share her i like to try 🙏🥰 i promise to eat more of nigerian food, cos is tasty i have learned a lot to cook these God bless you 🥰🥰
2:50 Nigerian (over)confidence
Love how little oil was used in the cooking.
Food looks amazing!!!
The scotch bonnet catch (2:50) was thr highlight of the show 🤣
finally a jollof rice recipe. My Nigerian friend's mum used to make the most incredible jollof rice
Yeah don’t follow this recipe, i have been cooking this rice for over 20yrs, his is trash
@@dlilwon recipe then please
Can we have another chef on to do this recipe? I really love this meal and want it done the traditional way
Traditional way,and the right way with the right ingredients etc!

This was certainly interesting, I am happy to see more west African recipes appearing in western media. That said this is just ONE way to cook this dish many people use much less oil, less ripe plantain, fish instead of chicken etc so for all those complaining about oil content look around for other variations they will likely be just as delicious and fit your health concerns more
Hmmmm... Oil, flavoured with veggies chicken and rice. Lovely...
I'm Australian and plantains aren't something we generally have access to. My friend from the Dominican Republic cooked me some and MY GOODNESS they're different to anything I'd ever tasted
Happy to hear about a fellow Dominican doing the Lord's work
Now how did you know my boyfriend’s been asking me to learn !!? Ughh clicked with the quickness ! Thank you 🙏🏾
Hope he's learning too, ya'll finna have some awesome cook-offs
Ghanaian jollof it top tier no other countries can compete
cap
Have you tried the original jollof rice made by jollof people? It’s called benachin and it’s delicious.
Those who are concerned about so much oil could probably use less if they desire to cook this dish.😋
Why is are their so many Nigerians saying he’s cooking it wrong and this is not how Nigerians cook it?Jollof rice is not a Nigerian creation, it’s a west African creation which is cook differently in many parts of west African.
The original is Gambian I think and it's made with long grain rice. What you're forgetting is that the title says it's a NIGERIAN jollof rice and that's not how you cook it. Nobody uses the oven lol.
Nigerians literally cannot go 30 seconds without mentioning Nigeria
No bro, this is not Nigerian Jollof rice or any jollof rice for that matter! It's too soggy, no nigerian would serve that to anyone. Also, we boil our meat before frying and use the broth to cook the rice. Pls, work on not getting the rice soggy or mushy, you will love the look and taste of the jollof rice. Thanks for trying though. Much love.
Idk if I came for the food or his smile. Either way....you have my attention sir.
People banging on, complaining about his recipe. You spend your time whinging about how he does his thing, whilst he's working as a chef. That's why he's successful and you're all kicking it in shithouses.
6:09 "Were gonna cut these into nice round ON A BIAS"
*Does not cut them on a bias lmao
Him: "...scotch bonnet peppers..."
Me: Ok Ok
Him: **cuts pepper in half and adds it to dish**
Me: Uhhmmm
So much oil the US gonna invade the kitchen
😂😂😂
😂😭
Showing África love from Trinidad 🇹🇹!!
This dish is fire. And the leftovers taste even better then the fresh product.
Jollof rice is from the Wolof tribe of Sénégambia. We're responsible for it's influence throughout West Africa. How it got changed to a tomato filled, plain, oily rice dish, idk 🤷🏿♀️. But original version will always be the best. Stop lying. I also love the Liberian version.
👀 Liberia does one too?? Time to find a Liberian restaurant in nyc
A. Sallah throwing major shade😂
Does this one have red palm oil?
Honestly, I didn’t expect the comments to be so mean. Why do people do this? Do you think he hasn’t read this? Even if he has won’t he move on with his life. For those of you who don’t hear well, you know his from America so his ‘Naija Jollof Rice’ style won’t be the same. So what is the issue all about. Please mind your business. And remember it’s not by force to write a comment. Go look for work. Mtttchhhheeeww.
The comments were sharp. Food is a strong part of a person/peoples identity. He knows this.
Iyo ti poju. He definitely cooks it differently than I’ve seen growing up but I’m sure craving all that with a side of moyin moyin right now.
My boyfriend is out of town - and I cannot wait to surprise him with this! First try and I'm sooo nervous + excited!
Made the stew chicken today!
Was so unbelievably delicious!!!!!
"today we will cook oil, with oil"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁
I bloody well love jollof rice but I've never been able to make it at all well, despite being a reasonably good cook.
I used to have a Nigerian flatmate who cooked the most beautiful blow yer heid off jollof rice (it was that spicy) which is when I fell in love with it.
I'm gonna give this version a go and see if I can get it right.
If it works I might even start believing that there is a god.

Am I the only one who started dancing when he brought out the plantain? The beauty of this combination ❤️❤️
line cook: how much oil do we need chef?? Chef: Yes
Chef Kwame is sick! I remember when he made that 🔥 jerk chicken!
Jollof with stew, he got trust issues I swear
Cover up for his jollof incase it turns into a Ghanian jollof.
@@unquietgrave4444 at least the Ghanaians don’t got trust issue wit they jollof 🤷🏾♂️
Cooking and eating this meal will give me more fun than my ex
name checks out
So I just made this recipe at the request of my teenage sons and really took me 3 hrs to make. I only omitted the chili peppers. 😊
When this guy's oil reserves are greater than all of Saudi Arabia. Food looks amazing though.
That dish is called "seco" in my country, never knew it had African origin.
where do you come from ?
@@pondelion1 Ecuador
A lot of different types of indigenous pppl have a similar way of doing things! I forget what the terms called but it’s human nature
@@GRIMM2197
One term is "cross culture".
@@GRIMM2197 No, that is lazy logic. Things aren't just "similar". It is African origin.
I need a Nigerian version of uncle roger to react to this because this ain’t it....I’m telling my dad all the wrong doing I saw and now believes this man is making Ghanaian hollow rice😂😂
Hell yeah!
This isn't even dat either,throw it all away,and I'm Nigerian married to a ghanian, this ain't it cuz in no parts of west Africa
