    I honestly don’t think AC has ever had authentic suya in his life because “it’s real spicy”, “dry”, “chewy like beef jerky” literally explains how authentic suya is supposed to be lol

    As a Jamaican I could tell that Segun was going to be the best based on the presentation! But why did AC put jerk (Jamaican seasoning) on the chicken and try to add an American twist when the competition is purely based on West African authenticity 😭😭 Anyway, it was entertaining to watch 😂

    Originating from the Hausa Region in Northern Nigeria, suya, or tsire, is a smoked, seasoned meat skewer. Tsire is actually the name for the meat, while suya, although it's the mainstream name, actually in Hausa denotes "how it's made, not necessarily what it is.

    Hi a guy from Côte d'Ivoire here. We love Suya over here and we call it Choucouya. Yes it hails from Nigeria but I think our folks make it right too, and we have also so many combinations. The people who make it though are mostly the Hausa people, and they're so good at it, we are blessed to have them.

      How do you pronounce Choucouya? In Ghana we call it chynchynga and it looks similar.

    It's amazing how culture travels.
    Suya traveled from Nigeria all the way to Sudan through hausa people. It is known there as agashé. And ive recently tried it here in Egypt from a Sudanese food truck in cairo, and it's beginning to get popular among Egyptians.

      You'll probably need to find an African store, even then unlikely they'll have authentic Suya spice powder. It is native to Nigeria (and the North at that). In the U.S. a lot of Nigerians make "recipe" versions and trust me, might as well not even have it. This should be a all or nothing sort of thing.
