Instructions

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot set over medium-high heat. Salt the chicken pieces well, pat them dry and brown them in the oil. Don't crowd the pot, so do this in batches. Set the chicken pieces aside as they brown.2 Sauté the onions in the oil for 3-4 minutes, stirring often and scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.

Remove and discard the skin if you want, or chop it and put it back into the pot. Shred the meat off the bones and put the meat back in the pot. 5 Adjust the seasonings for salt and cayenne, then add as much black pepper as you think you can stand—the stew should be peppery. Stir in the cilantro and serve by itself, or with simple steamed rice.

Recommended wine: Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling are my top picks for African. The best wine for African dishes will depend on the dish, but a fruity, aromatic white wine is a safe bet for spicy dishes while pinotage would be a traditional match for South African cuisine. The Radley & Finch The Profs Pinotage with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 11 dollars per bottle.

A wine expressing the plush riper side of Pinotage and still reflecting a very subtle old world tannin.
