Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 lbs chicken, pieces
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons hot red pepper, seeded and minced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1/4 cup fresh coriander (or parsley)

Steps:

  • Season chicken with ¼ tsp each of the salt and pepper; set aside.

  • In large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; sauté onion, garlic and hot pepper until softened, about 4 minutes.

  • Stir in coconut milk and peanut butter; let cool slightly.
  • Transfer to food processor; purée until smooth. Set aside.

  • Transfer to roasting pan; cover with 1 cup of the sauce. Roast in 425°F oven for 30 minutes, basting twice.
  • Mix remaining sauce with coriander and pour over chicken; cook until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 12 minutes.
