We use peanuts in a variety of dishes. This tender chicken, covered in a tasty gravy and sprinkled with peanuts, has a zip that perks up taste buds.—Mary Kay Dixson, Decatur, Alabama
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-1/2 to 4 pounds), cut up
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup orange juice
2/3 to 1 cup salted peanuts
orange slices or minced fresh cilantro, optional
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, salt and pepper; rub over chicken. In a large skillet, saute chicken in butter until golden brown. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 30 minutes or until juices run clear.
2. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. Add orange juice to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan; simmer for 5 minutes. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle with peanuts. Garnish with orange slices and cilantro if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
