Hajia Tradition Spicy Suya Seasoning – 200g | Traditional West African Peanut-Based Spice Rub | Proudly Ghanaian

The seasoning that turns a grill into a street food legend — Chichinga spice, Ghanaian style 🇬🇧

Close your eyes and picture it. The smoky charcoal grill at the roadside. The skewers of thinly sliced beef turning slowly over the flame. That bold, nutty, spicy aroma drifting through the evening air that stops you in your tracks and pulls you straight to the grill. That is the magic of Suya. And that magic lives in the spice.

Suya spice — known as Yaji or Chichinga spice in Ghana — is a hot peanut-based rub with spices, used across West Africa to season meat before grilling. It is commonly associated with barbecued meat sold on the streets — Suya in Nigeria, Chichinga in Ghana. eBay

Hajia Tradition has crafted a proudly Ghanaian version of this iconic West African spice blend — bold, smoky, nutty, and fiery — built around the classic foundation of ground peanuts and West African spices. Everything you need to bring authentic street-style Chichinga and Suya to your UK kitchen grill.

Key Ingredients

The foundation of authentic Suya seasoning is consistently ground roasted peanuts — the nutty base — combined with cayenne pepper for primary heat, dried ginger for warmth and earthiness, garlic powder for savoury depth, onion powder for sweet undertones, smoked paprika for smoky complexity, and ground cloves for subtle sweetness.

How to Use

🥩 Classic Suya / Chichinga dry rub: Slice beef, chicken, or lamb thinly. Coat generously all over with Hajia Tradition Suya Seasoning — press the spice firmly into the meat so it adheres well. Thread onto skewers and grill over charcoal or a hot grill for 8–12 minutes, turning regularly, until cooked through with a golden, spiced crust

🍗 Oven roasting: Coat chicken pieces, fish, or vegetables generously with the seasoning. Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for 25–35 minutes until golden, cooked through, and aromatic
