How To Cook Walkie Talkie Pepper soup

How to cook Walkie Talkie Pepper soup.  This is cooked with the walking and talking parts of birds. In the past,
I left chicken heads and legs with the sellers. These days, I use them for my walkie talkie soup.

Walkie talkie is sold by mallams who roast and sell peppered chicken legs stuck in the heads. I like it, but they moved to God knows where.

Seeing peppered walkie talkie looking yummy while hanging  there waiting for buyers is what made me think of making my own walkie talkie at home in pepper soup form. Not many people like chicken heads or legs.

The cooked legs help a lot when you need to keep that crying child busy and quiet.

I am a fish person. I don’t really like meat, especially beef. Even when I eat meat, I don’tn like eating fleshy parts, this is the best for me because there is no flesh in there.

I eat without going near the eyes though.
The chicken legs are stuck in through the open neck, they come out through the mouth. This opens up the mouth and throat making for easy washing.


  • First place washed chicken legs, heads, gizzard and neck in a pot with onion, salt, water and seasoning. 
  • Cover the pot and let walkie talkie soup boil.
  • After it boils, add vegetables,pepper soup spices and all remaining ingredients to chicken soup. 

 

  • Check for salt and add more water if needed.
  • Let pepper soup cook till chicken walkie talkie parts are cooked.

 

  • You can now turn off the heat after checking for taste.

How To Cook Walkie Talkie Pepper soup
chicken walkie talkie pepper soup simmers in low heat for 8 minutes or more  depending on the type of chicken used. Male chickens tend to cook faster while females have tougher meats and take longer to cook.
This soup can be enjoyed with a spoon while our fingers deal with the parts. It can also be served with boiled rice. Very good for those who are bored with the normal rice and tomato stew. It can be served as a side for jollof rice or fried rice, to be enjoyed after eating the rice.

It is best enjoyed when cooked in the evening and left to stand till the following day. That way the stock seeps into the chicken parts and make them more tasty. Enjoying this soup as a no carb breakfast can be very good and   yummy.

Enjoy!

  6. Hahahah! Walkie-talkie! Aunty Eya, you're so funny!

    If I cook this one for my husband, he'll ask me why! He hates anything that is not simple flesh (me too but I manage atimes). He hates skin (kpomo) insides, head, feet, whateva. Just give him flesh! no bone too except chicken which you can't remove the bone except its shredded. So, I'll pass.

  8. I love the name of this soup! Lol! It's just a pity my husband and son are not likely to take this. As for me, the last time I ate chicken legs, I was kinda irritated and wondered why I used to love them so much as a kid. Kudos to you Aunt Eya, this your blog rocks big time and yes, I'm a Foodie too:)
