After many years of over-complicating cooking, I've come to find uncomplicated dishes like this to be fail-proof and satisfying. However, this presentation showed more experience and finesse than I usually accomplish. Tip: Buy a good paring knife and buy bone-in chicken thighs, exclusively. Once you get the hang of processing the thighs you save a ton of money, get much more flavor, and can boil the bones into a rich stock, saving money when you buy it and when you add the home made bone stock. Also, don't think of potatoes as unhealthy. They are awesome root VEGETABLES, and no one in their right mind doesn't find them delicious. Thank you Chef D Wainaina for sharing this simple but well planned out dish. And peace be upon you, your family and your wonderful country.
Being Irish anything with potatoes immediately gets my attention. It looks delicious and your presentation superb. I love one pot dishes. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Potatoes were stolen from Red indians, this dish is Indian, we have many vatieties of receipes with every foods.This is just copy of karai of karai dishes, of many types.
Chef, I enjoyed your simple dialogue without any fluff, no endless showing of unnecessary visuals and a recipe that seems so doable. You inspire me to take the fear out of cooking even after being in the kitchen for 30+ years. Your 80 year old subscriber's comment is another fearher in your cap. Some Swahili thrown in the mix is much appreciated by this South African. 🇿🇦
I’m new to cooking, at 80, but am getting addicted to it. This one I did this morning following Chef Wainaina’s video instructions very carefully, and it turned out great, very tasty. Thanks for the many recipes and opportunities for we who are novices!
I made this for dinner last night with a side salad and it was absolutely delicious. The spice/herb combination wasn't one I would have thought of myself but it was a truly wonderful mix. The sweetness of the fennel seeds and the earthiness of the cumin seeds along with the subtle floral note that the thyme brings really struck a lovely balance. The squeeze of lemon at the end and chopped cilantro added a ton of brightness, complimented by the heat lent by the ground paprika and red pepper flakes. I'll definitely be making this again and will be looking further into Kenyan cuisine from now on with this guy as my first professor.. Thanks Chef! Edit: I made this a second and then third time. I love this chicken/onion/potato preparation, i intend to keep it in my rotation and I hope you do too.
Just made this recipe today. Excellent, coming from a salt only person. Used 4 thighs and halved the spices. Cooking for 1 now. Love the gef inspired dish, in one pan, suitable for a family or 1. LOVED IT.
I watch cooking videos all the time, but this is a dish I have high confidence I can make, and I know I already have all these ingredients! I'm so glad I found your channel!
Listen you drew me in right away and before you had even started the recipe I had subscribed but when I saw the amount of garlic you used in this I fell in love with you
This looks fabulous and I'm going to cook this tomorrow for my family for Saturday supper. I'll make a nice green salad to go with it. Thank you for posting straight forward easy instructions to follow, I look forward to lots more. Greetings from Notting Hill London
Hi @neisha, so the cumin and fennel combination worked together? I never thought of that combination. I put cumin in just about everything I cook. Another nice combination is fennel and coriander especially on fish.
@@LisaArmstrong-s9f the combination seemed unusual to me as an American but this flavored the oil so nicely, it was great. I dont even like cilantro and I had seconds, so good !
I finally got to have a go at making this dish after having watched your video at the beginning of the month and I was blown away by the deliciousness. Thank you so much chef for sharing your recipes with the world.
I’m from New Zealand and came across your channel on You Tube. As soon as I saw your title I was like sweet everything I love. I will be making this tomorrow night. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
I did it for mother’s day today in France. It took me a bit longer to heat. The meat is delicious. Next time I will separate meat from potatoes as I am more used to serve this way. Thank you for this very enjoyable dish with flavours I am not used to.
I AM NEW TO UR CHANNEL AND I AM ENJOYING IT. I LIKE HOW U TRANSLATE AND INCORPORATE THE SWAHILI LANGUAGE. THE MUSIC IS SOFT AND RELAXING. THX U FOR SHARING 🙏🏾
@@TacoBear_StudiosSome people can't see as well as you can and use caps all the time, not thinking people like you would get all hurt and offended by it. Find something that makes you happy.
This is comfort food to me. I was born an raised in Trinidad, West Indies, and this delicious 😋 dish was a daily experience. I look forward to your many recipes ❤.
A simple menu, with affordable ingridients; clear instructions to follow and very good dish that can be prepared within a short time for one person and also a family. Thank you
It’s past midnight here in NYC and I’m having one of those sleepless nights lol. Just stumbled upon your Chanel and I am enjoying your cooking because it’s so easy to make. Thank u so much for sharing.🙏🏾
Well hello there Chef D, thanks for sharing this recipe, I really like the chicken thighs as they are so juicy & yummy & those taters oh my I'm getting hungry just watching this, I wish that I had smell vision right now. You have inspired me to make this exact dish. I look forward in viewing your very next video, thank you & Bless you & yours.
I thank the algorithm for presenting your channel to me today. What a fabulous dish to feed the family, especially with rising costs these days. Thank you so much Chef, I look forward to more videos and looking back on what you have created so far. Kind regards from Australia.
I am a White elderly lady second and African first..I will always help Africans to build up their channels,as they work very hard to get where they are..I also love to learn aboy their way of cooking..Thank you so much for this channel
Looks delicious, and tastes delicious, I'm sure. I love any chicken thigh recipe, cilantro, garlic and potatoes. Must try! I love your presentation, keeping the ingredients in pretty bowls and that you're particular about keeping your cutting board clean.
Amen I Have been seeing this video, but have never played it, but, Just now went looking for it. Now I have watched it. Just now, & what a beautiful recipe. I will cook this myself, & Your right very easy. Looks Great & Delicious too!! Bless you, and thanks for a delicious dish!! 🎉🎉🎉
Fried potatoes and onions have been a good side in my family for decades. Adding chicken directly was never thought of. I added Stubbs chicken seasoning instead of cilantro, it was devious! Thank you!
Hey Chef, I cooked this dish last night for dinner, I made it at lunch time, I kept the chicken and onion separate from the pan fried potatoes, I reheated the chicken and while the potatoes were frying up again in my wok, I mixed them together and served them with chopped coriander. Delicious 10/10 we both loved the flavour, will definitely have it again, cheers from Devon in UK🍷🍷
I came across this video a few days ago, and I could not stop thinking about making it. I cook tons of different cuisines and am very comfortable and confident in my skills. I followed this recipe exactly (but I used chicken breast cubes instead because that was all I had on hand), and all I can say is that I am absolutely HOOKED. I love the spice, the flavor of the fennel seeds, the aroma of the cilantro, and the perfectly cooked potato bites. I’ve never made a Kenyan dish before and this recipe had me press the “follow” button REAL QUICK. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR CULTURE WITH US! I look forward to following your other recipes in the upcoming weeks!
Thank you, this looks delicious! Yesterday, I made the chicken with the red and yellow peppers, it came out fantastic! I still have some for lunch for today! Merci!
I saw this yesterday and it looked so good that I went and bought what was needed this morning and made it this evening. Everybody LOVED it!! It is soooo good. Thank you Chef!!

Me too potatoes go with everything
Potatoes were stolen from Red indians, this dish is Indian, we have many vatieties of receipes with every foods.This is just copy of karai of karai dishes, of many types.
This chef is a joy to watch … all practical and a no-nonsense approach!
...yep, and such a lovely natured man
Agreed 💯
Well said, I felt this but could think of the words.
I totally agree.. Most videos can be done in about half their usual time. This one was a joy to watch. Also, he has the perfect voice for it.
Chef says about a pound of chicken recipe says 2lbs? Does it matter?

Is saltro parsley sorry for the wrong spelling
@@leahdauramanzi5612 If you mean cilantro, that's American for coriander.
I will make this for dinner! Chicken, Potatoes onions, garlic, cilantro and all the spices, this will be yummy and make my kitchen smell great!
I dont like cilantro, but as Greek, i love oregano!
I am definitely going to try this dish minus the lemon juice and cilantro. I might add parsley instead.
