Spicy Chicken with Peanuts

Made this last night. Was a huge hit. Unlike my other monster recipes, this one only serves four, or 2 comfortably with leftovers enough for lunch. I served this with a plain side of greens and steamed rice. Think jerk chicken with peanuts.

Trim ALL fat off the chicken before you start - it will cause the sauce to separate later. I like the taste of the pepper oil better (it’s much, much more fiery than its "sauce" counterpart) but if your sauce will sit for a while, use a hot pepper sauce.

Ingredients
2 Chicken breasts, skin and bones removed (not those tiny chicken breast halves - if you’re using those, make it 4.)
2 TSP salt
2 TSP flour
2 TBSP sugar
1 TSP fresh ground pepper
1 TSP dried oregano

2 TSP Chinese hot pepper oil (the insanely fiery kind with the seeds in the bottom)
1 handful of shelled peanuts
2 TBSP mayo (optional: peanut butter instead)
1/2 CUP of chicken broth
1/2 CUP of chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
Coat chicken breasts in the next five ingredients evenly. Brown on both sides. 6 minutes. Add the mayo, pepper oil, and peanuts on TOP of the chicken, turn the heat down to low, and cover for another 5 minutes while it cooks. Check for doneness. (Reduce both if you’re using halves, since they’re quite a lot thinner) Transfer chicken to a plate.

Carve the chicken and tent with a foil. Drain the juices back into the pan. Whisk chicken broth into the pan sauce until smooth, then pour onto the sliced chicken. Sprinkle the top with green onions. Enjoy!

    Justun/ That’d take all the suspense out of it, wouldn’t it? But I guess if I’ve seen it already it wouldn’t make a difference.

    No, I don’t have the collector’s DVD. I’ve been watching it replayed in Festival Theatres.

  39. Anson Says:

    Go vegetarian. There is no such thing as a spicy chicken. Only a lonely chicken with a removed beak at birth, a chicken with constant lung infections, a chicken with no sex life, no community, broken feet and legs. Monster recipe? You are the monster. Go vegetarian. Stop spreading ways to kill others. You are violent and you are spreading your violence. May all living beings be happy.

  48. Eric Says:

    Thanks for the great recipe, and for helping to turn the tide of sanctimonious vegetarian slaughter. How many soybean plants must be mercilessly plucked, how many fields of lettuce cruelly mowed? but seriously it’s a good thing to care about how animals are treated, but calling you a monster for posting a recipe is just assinine…an attention- getting ploy by an egoist.

    Like your recipes; try this recipe for rack of lamb;

    1 rack of lamb
    1 cup soy sauce
    1 cup chinese cooking wine
    Sesame oil (add ~ 1/8 of a cup or less)
    1/2 cup virgin olive oil
    1/2 cup oregano
    Pepper to taste;

    Place above in ziplock bag and seal and place in fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours

    Place rack of lamb in roasting rack / roasting pan (bone side up); can top with some additional oregano and/or pepper at this point

    Set oven to broil at 425 for 25 minutes; After 25 minutes turn and continue to broil for 10 minutes and then switch setting to bake for the remaining 15-20 minutes;

    Can cook slightly less if you want rare; timing may need adjustment for oven strength.

    - Mike
