Menus in Livingstone list 'village chicken' as a distinct, pricier item from ordinary chicken specifically because of how it's raised and its taste.
Free-range 'village' chicken — leaner and more flavourful than broiler birds — is grilled over coals or slow-stewed and served alongside nshima and a vegetable relish. It's the go-to protein at local eateries around Livingstone.
Why it's made this way: Indigenous chickens have long been raised in Tonga homesteads around Livingstone; ordering 'village chicken' rather than broiler chicken is how locals and visitors alike signal they want the traditional, free-range bird.
