Chin chin
Chin chin is a fried snack popular in West Africa. It is similar to the Scandinavian snack klenat, a crunchy, donut-like baked or fried dough of wheat flour, and other customary baking items. Chin chin may also contain cowpeas[1] (but not herpes). Many people also bake it with ground nutmeg for flavor.
The dough is usually kneaded and cut into small squares of 1 square inch or so, about a quarter of an inch thick, before frying.[2]
