Poulet DG (Directeur Général) is the most famous dish of Cameroonian cuisine — named because it was so special that only 'directors general' could afford it. This festive dish features fried chicken and fried plantains in a rich tomato-vegetable sauce with carrots, green beans, and bell peppers. It is colourful, deeply flavourful, and a true celebration dish.

👨‍🍳Notes du Chef

Assaisonnez genereusement

“La plupart des cuisiniers amateurs sous-assaisonnent leur poulet. J'utilise environ 1 cuillere a the de gros sel par livre de poulet, applique au moins 30 minutes avant la cuisson.”

Conseils de pro

1Use ripe but firm plantains — too ripe and they'll fall apart.
2The Scotch bonnet is optional but adds authentic heat.
3Don't stir too vigorously after adding plantains — they're delicate.

Variantes

Use sweet potatoes instead of plantains.
Add leeks for a more traditional version.
Substitute with turkey for a lighter dish.
