  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup water

  2. 2

    Add garlic, ginger, and berbere and cook until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken pieces and salt and stir to coat well in the spiced onion base.

  4. 4

    Pour in the water, cover, and simmer until the chicken is very tender.

    Add the peeled hard-boiled eggs near the end so they absorb the sauce, then serve hot.
