Chin-chin is a popular everyday snack which is common in Nigeria and other West African countries.

The main ingredients are flour, sugar and butter, milk and eggs (these two are optional) and there’s nutmeg to give it some much loved flavour and smell – it’s not chin-chin without nutmeg!

This is all mixed together into a soft flexible dough – similar to a cookie dough. It is rolled out and cut into small pieces or shapes, which is then deep fried – Yes! Deep fried like donuts. Honestly, it’s not chinchin if it’s not fried.
