Small chops are finger foods usually served at events as a kind of appetizer.
They have become a beloved delicacy for every Nigerian party. You can hardly have an event with small chops being served.
Small chops business is also a booming business for caterers and chefs.
But what must be in the perfect small chop entree?
1. Puff puff
Puff puff is the king of the small chop entree. It is a beloved Nigeria snack and a small chop pack without puff puff loses its essence.
2. Samosa
This crunchy Asian pastry has found its way into the Nigerian small chops palate.
3. Springroll
This is just like a samosa but it is rolled up in a ball and sometimes it could be filled with chicken or beef.
4. Roasted chicken
Not fried but roasted. Roasted chicken has a distinct taste and that is why it is essential to the small chop table.
5. Gizdodo
The special combination of gizzard and fried plantain mixed in fresh pepper soup has a rightful position in a small chop bowl.
Honorary mention goes to mini cakes, asun (peppered goat meat), and sausage roll.
