Chin Chin

Chin chin is a popular, crunchy West African (especially Nigerian) fried snack made from a sweet dough of flour, sugar, butter/margarine, and milk, often flavored with nutmeg, and cut into various small shapes like cubes or strips before deep-frying until golden brown. It’s a staple for celebrations, holidays, and everyday munching, with variations ranging from hard and crunchy to softer textures, depending on ingredients like eggs or baking powder.
