About Chicken with Odika Sauce
Chef Malax’s poulet fumé à l’odika combines smoked chicken with a sauce of grated odika. This named Gabonese version includes onion, garlic, tomato and bell pepper.
Odika supplies the sauce’s central seed flavour and thickening character. Onion and garlic add aromatic notes, with salt and pepper included in the final chicken-and-vegetable mixture.
The odika sauce has a velvety consistency before the chicken pieces and vegetables join it. Steamed plantain is the selected optional accompaniment suggested by the chef, keeping the sauce and chicken at the centre of the meal.
