List of Ingredients



• 4 lbs bone-in chicken pieces, skin removed
  
• Spice Rub:
  
• 3/4 tsp salt
  
• 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
  
• 1 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
  
• 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  
• 3/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
  
• Peanut Sauce:
  
• 3 T vegetable oil
  
• 1 small onion, finely diced
  
• 1/2 red pepper, seeded and finely diced
  
• 1/2 green pepper, seeded and finely diced
  
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 1 tsp finely diced and seeded jalapeno chile
  
• 4 cups (32 oz) chicken broth
  
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  
• 1 T tomato paste
  
• 1/2 tomato, seeded and diced
  
• 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  
• 1/2 tsp peeled, grated fresh ginger
  
• 1/2 cup well-mixed coconut milk
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper
  
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  






Instructions



1. Stir together the spice rub ingredients and rub onto chicken pieces.
   
2. Heat 1 T oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add half the chicken and brown on all sides, taking care not to burn the spices. Transfer browned pieces to a platter and set aside. Brown remaining chicken and transfer to platter.
   
3. With a paper towel, wipe skillet dry; then add remaining 2 T of oil. Add onion, red and green peppers, carrot, garlic, and jalapeno chile. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in remaining sauce ingredients, and simmer 2 minutes. Return browned chicken to skillet. Cook 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked through, stirring frequently to prevent sauce from sticking. Turn chicken pieces over midway through cooking time. Garnish with parsley.
