Rub the chicken thighs with lemon juice and salt and rest for 20 minutes.
Chop the onions very finely and cook them in a dry pot for 20 minutes, until their liquid evaporates.
Add the niter kibbeh, garlic, and ginger, then cook for 3 minutes.
Add the berbere and tomato paste, then fry for 4 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chicken to the pot and coat it with the sauce.
Add the chicken stock and cook over low heat for 55 minutes.
Score the boiled eggs lightly and add them to the stew.
Cook for 10 minutes more so the sauce flavors the eggs.
Serve the stew hot over injera.
💡 Tip: Cooking the onions for a long time without oil builds doro wat's sweet, concentrated sauce base.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve on injera on a shared platter with boiled eggs and a fresh salad.
