Isitshwala & Hard Chicken Stew Delivery

Hard chicken is free-range bird cooked the way it has to be cooked — slowly — and it is the dish that most clearly separates home-style Southern African cooking from a takeaway chicken plate.

Free-range hard chicken slow-cooked in spiced broth with fried onions, served with isitshwala

Isitshwala/Sadza & Hard Chicken Stew — £14.00

Free-range chicken slow-cooked until tender in a spiced broth with fried onions. The ultimate comfort dish.

About this dish

Free-range chicken is slow-cooked until tender in a spiced broth with fried onions. The bird has more texture and more flavour than farmed chicken, which is exactly why it needs the long cook. The broth it produces is the best part of the plate and is meant to be eaten with the sadza.

People searching for hard chicken usually know what they are looking for and have not been able to find it locally. It is on the menu permanently rather than as an occasional special.

Hard chicken stew is fourteen pounds, served with sadza or isitshwala. Order ahead, choose a delivery slot and track the order once it is on its way.
