Ghana chichinga is what they call their street food kabobs made with suya, (pronounced Soya). This hot, spicy peanut marinade is amazing on just about any meat, we thoroughly enjoyed it on beef however this recipe is made with chicken and first marinated in a garlic and ginger combination.  The result is delicious.  I also made the african pepper sauce (the same one I made before for Cameroon)  to go along with it and  wow, that sauce is just awesome.  Serve this delicious kabob with some jollof rice and  a Ghanian salad for a delicious taste of Ghana.
