In-home meal (1 - 7 guests) Join your host Melody at her apartment in Logan Square for an African-inspired meal. Start with a welcome drink and small snack of fried plantains - a specialty Melody loves and makes for every experience! Then enjoy a main dish of peri-peri chicken - finger-licking, baked chicken marinated overnight in fresh peri-peri peppers (bird's eye chili), red onions, garlic, paprika, oregano, ginger & lime zest. Your delicious peri-peri chicken will be served with jollof rice, a popular west African rice dish cooked in a savory tomato stew and infused with fresh mint, as well as African salad.
