African-Style Braised Chicken in Peanut Sauce (Crock Pot) image

From "Delicious and Dependable Slow Cooker Recipes" by Judith Finlayson. Serve with white rice. Recipe calls for hot peppers and peanuts. I made it with 1 tsp. cayenne pepper instead of red chili pepper. By the way, I like the way it tastes cold the next day too!

This was the worst chicken dish I've ever had. The chicken was dry and tough, and the peanut sauce was bland and flavorless.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of peanut sauce, but this dish was actually pretty good. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and rich. I served it with rice and vegetables, and it was a complete meal.

The chicken was a bit tough, but the peanut sauce was tasty. I think I'll try cooking the chicken on low for a longer period of time next time.

This African-style braised chicken was a hit! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the peanut sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with rice and vegetables, and it was a complete meal. I'll definitely be making this again!
