Ingredients

  • A 3 -3 1/2 lb. Chicken, halved, quartered or cut into pieces.
  • Marinade for Chicken
  • 1 tsp minced dried hot chile pepper
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 T minced shallot
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • 2 tsp crumbled dried rosemary
  • Salt & Pepper to taste.
  • Sauce
  • 1 c minced shallot
  • 1/2 c minced garlic
  • 1-1/2 c minced red bell pepper (or smaller qty of hotter red peppers if desired)
  • 1/4 c canola oil
  • 1/2 c sweet paprika
  • 1 c grated coconut
  • 1/2 c natural peanut butter
  • 1-1/2 c chicken stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 T canola oil
  • 1 baking potato (or 4-5 new potatoes)

Directions

1

Mix marinade ingredients, rub into chicken and marinate covered in fridge overnight. Adding a little oil to the marinade helps the rub stick to the chicken.

2

Sweat shallots, garlic and peppers in oil over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are softened. Add paprika, coconut, peanut butter, bay leaf and chicken stock.

3

Bring to a boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about ten minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Keep warm.

4

Heat oil medium high in a frypan and brown the chicken well with the potato cut into one inch cubes. Even better, grill the chicken, and brown potato seperately.

5

Transfer chicken and potatoes to baking dish, spoon 2 cups of the sauce over, and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes if in pieces, a little longer if in halves. Finish with remaining sauce, and serve.
