The Secret to Perfect Suya at Home (in the US): Ingredients, Tips & Where to Buy the Spice

Suya in America? Yes, please.

If you’ve ever searched for “how to make suya like Nigeria”, “buy suya spice in USA”, or “African grocery store online,” then this blog post is for you. Whether you live in Houston, New York, or Minnesota, you can recreate that unforgettable suya taste right in your kitchen, with one essential ingredient: My Sasun Suya Pepper.


What is Suya and Why Do Nigerians in the U.S. Miss It So Much?

Suya is Nigeria’s most iconic street food, grilled meat coated in a spicy, nutty dry rub, served with onions and often wrapped in newspaper. It’s a familiar taste tied to memories: roadside stalls, smoky nights, street banter, and that fiery suya kick that left you sweating but smiling.

In the U.S., you may find African markets or restaurants, but that authentic suya taste? Harder to come by.

So how do you bring the suya you miss from back home into your U.S. kitchen? The answer lies in the spice blend.


You don’t need to wait for someone to travel from Lagos or search every African online market. My Sasun Suya Pepper is the real-deal Nigerian suya spice, crafted for people living abroad who still want that street-style flavor.

Suya Pepper

Made with roasted groundnuts, chili, ginger, garlic, and traditional West African spices
No MSG, no artificial additives
Ships across the USA
Easy to use for beef, chicken, turkey, or even vegetables

How to Prepare Suya at Home in the USA: Step-by-Step Guide

One of the most Googled questions is “how to prepare suya at home?” Here's your answer, simplified:

Ingredients:

  • Thin strips of beef, chicken, or turkey
  • My Sasun Suya Pepper
  • Groundnut or vegetable oil
  • Skewers (optional)
  • Fresh onions (for serving)

Preparation Steps:

  1. Slice the meat thin — Just like the suya vendors do back home.
  2. Mix suya pepper with oil — Just enough to make a paste.
  3. Rub and marinate — Coat the meat with the spice blend and let it sit for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
  4. Grill or oven roast — Use a charcoal grill if you have one, or simply use your oven or air fryer.
  5. Serve hot with onions and extra sprinkle of spice.

Pro tip: Sprinkle some My Sasun Suya Pepper just before serving, the way the mallams do.


Where to Buy Nigerian Food and Suya Spice Online (USA)

If you’re searching “where to buy suya spice in the USA” or “African grocery store online,” your best option is My Sasun.

  • My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor AGBON to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor AGBON, WhatsApp Number :+2349058797761

  • I was searching for a loan to sort out my bills & debts, then I saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting {rickatmcardoffer@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw EUR 10,000 instant per day & was credited with EUR 50,000,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel {card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work after the agent left. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are indonesia Germany and USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

  • I and my wife had a misunderstanding which led to a huge fight and she left home and returned back to her fathers house. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I tried fixing the problem and getting her to return back home and she never came back. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage with her which made me contact Dr Isikolo. Just as expected he worked for me and the problem was fixed and I am reunited with my wife. She returned back home just after 48 hours as promised by Dr Isikolo. I am forever indebted to him for fixing the problem I had in my marriage. kindly contact him for fast and urgent Help, Contact him via page: https://isikolo-temple.com or WhatsApp him on: +2348133261196

  • I can’t believe this. A great testimony that i must share to all HERPES patient in the world i never believed that there could be any complete cure for HERPES or any cure for HERPES at all. I saw people’s testimony on blog sites of how DR Ahonsie prepared herbal cure and brought them back to life again. i had to try it too and you can’t believe that in just few weeks i started using it all my pains stop gradually and I was completely cured with the treatment the doctor gave to me. Right now i can tell you that few months later on now i have not had any pain. Delay in treatment leads to death. Here is his email: drahonsie00@gmail.com message him on Whatsapp +2348039482367  https://drahonsie002.wixsite.com/dr-ahonsie
