Doro wat is the canonical Ethiopian chicken stew of chicken legs simmered with berbere, onions and clarified butter, served with injera flatbread to scoop the stew.

Ethiopian doro wat reached Madison through the Buraka Ethiopian restaurant, which opened in 2000 on State Street and reopened at its current 1210 Williamson Street location in 2016. Buraka is Madison's flagship and longest-running Ethiopian dining room; the doro wat there follows the canonical Ethiopian recipe of chicken simmered with berbere spice blend, slow-caramelized onions and niter kibbeh clarified butter, served on a platter of injera with a hard-boiled egg.
