Indulge in tender Asian-inspired peanut butter chicken topped with crunchy peanuts for a delightful dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 3- to 3 1/2-pound cut-up broiler-fryer chicken
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
Instructions:
  • Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet using tongs.
  • In a skillet, leave just 1 tablespoon of drippings and heat over medium heat. Cook the onion until tender, then reduce the heat. Add peanut butter, chili sauce, and red pepper. Slowly pour in water while stirring constantly until the peanut butter melts.
  • Place the chicken in the pan and generously spoon the flavorful sauce over it. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it gently simmer for about 5 minutes. Make sure to spoon the sauce over the chicken occasionally until it thickens slightly. Serve the chicken with the delicious sauce on top, and finish by garnishing with peanuts and bell pepper.
