👨🍳 作り方
- 1
Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped onion. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken pieces until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.

Add the quartered onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until it darkens slightly.
- 4
Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, and the whole Scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in chicken broth or water. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender.

In a separate bowl, mix the ground peanuts with a little warm water to form a smooth paste. Gradually add this paste to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Continue to simmer the sauce, uncovered, for another 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and the oil separates. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
