Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in 12-inch skillet or 4-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook chicken in oil about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
