đĄ Proffstips
- âFor a richer flavor, you can marinate the chicken in a mixture of garlic, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- âIf you find okra too slimy, you can try sautĂ©ing it separately before adding it to the stew, or blanching it in boiling water for a few minutes.
- âAdjust the amount of chili peppers to your preferred level of spice.
