Kyinkyinga

Kyinkyinga is a grilled meat skewer or kebab that is common and popular in West Africa.[1][2] Kyinkyinga is a Ghanian dish, very similar to or synonymous with the Hausa suya kebab, also known as sooya, tsinga, chichinga, tsire agashi, chachanga or tankora.[3][4][5]

It is prepared by coating the meat in tankora powder, a mixture of ground seasonings including dried hot peppers, ginger, and other spices, and peanut flour. The meat is then threaded onto a skewer, often interspersed with onions and bell peppers, then grilled.[3] It has been described as a staple street food in Ghana.[6]
