🧂 재료
- 1.5 kg Chicken(cut into pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or a whole chicken quartered))
- 6 tbsp Red palm oil
- 2 medium Onions(diced)
- 4 cloves Garlic(minced)

👨🍳 조리법
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Heat the red palm oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat until shimmering.

Sear the chicken in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the diced onions to the pot and sauté until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the tomato paste and stir continuously, cooking until it darkens slightly, about 3 minutes. This step deepens the flavor.

Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter with about 1-2 cups of the sauce from the pot until smooth. Pour this mixture back into the pot with the chicken.

Simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

💡 전문가 팁
- ✓Red palm oil is traditional and provides a unique flavor and color. If unavailable, you can substitute with a neutral oil and a pinch of paprika for color, though the flavor will differ.
- ✓Peanut butter is often used as a substitute for palm nut butter, especially outside of Africa. Ensure it's natural and unsweetened for the best flavor.
- ✓The slow simmering process is key to developing the rich flavors of the sauce.
