Why You’ll Love This Chicken Plantain Sandwich Recipe

This sandwich is finger licking Sierra Leonean street food at its best. The kind of thing that you happily chow down on after a long morning with some cool ginger beer or even an ice cold Star beer. The kind of sandwich that if you don’t finish, you carefully wrap up the leftovers in the newspaper that it came in and save for your evening appetiser.

And… plantains. Do I really need to say more??? Plantains make everything taste better, like Plantain WafflesCheesy Baked Plantains with Chilli and Slow Cooker Duck and Plantain Curry.
