The Recipe Thread [tm--CajunCook]

Local grocery store was running a deal on cut-up whole chicken fryers the other day for 29 cents a pound, so I picked one up and fixed one of my favorite recipes from a West African restaurant in South Tulsa.

African Peanut Butter Chicken.

1 (approx. 3 lb) whole fryer, cut up
2 medium onions, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1 6oz can tomato paste
Tony's
Louisiana Gold hot sauce, or whatever your favorite is
Olive or cooking oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown chicken pieces in a pan in oil about 2-3 at a time. Transfer browned chicken pieces to a casserole dish. Saute onions and garlic until brown, then put on top of the chicken pieces. Heat chicken broth to simmering, then add tomato paste, peanut butter, Tony's and hot sauce to taste. Pour sauce mixture over chicken, then bake covered for 45-50 minutes or cooked thoroughly. Serve over hot cooked rice.
