Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the beef marrow bones, chicken or beef broth, and the crumbled Maggi or bouillon cube.
💡 Професійні поради: Ensure the marrow bones are submerged in the liquid. - 7
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender and the marrow has rendered into the sauce.

Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove the marrow bones before serving if desired, or leave them in for a rustic presentation.

Serve hot, typically with rice, fufu, or boiled yams.
