Chin chin

Chin Chin is a crunchy deep-fried snack that originated in Nigeria. It is the official Christmas snack and was the official snack in Nigerian weddings before the advent of small chops. 

Chin Chin is my all-time favorite snack -it tastes so good, yet so bad for you. It is a scrumptious fried pastry made in various ways. Throughout West Africa and Nigeria Chin Chin originally was prepared for special occasions. It has evolved from a special occasion food to being a snack food, sold on street corners, kiosks, and in supermarkets.
