🧂 Ingredienti
- 800 g Chicken thighs(bone-in, skin-on)
- 150 g Peanut butter(unsweetened)
- 50 g Ground peanuts(for texture)
- 500 g Bagique (sorrel or spinach)(chopped)
- 2 medium Onions(chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves(minced)
- 1 small Piri-piri pepper(finely chopped (optional))

- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper

👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the palm oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped piri-piri (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, ground peanuts, chicken broth, and crumbled Maggi cube (if using) until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the onions and garlic.
- 5
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6
Add the chopped bagique (sorrel or spinach) to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the greens are wilted and tender.
- 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. The sauce should be thick and rich.

Serve hot, typically with rice or millet.
