SPICY, HOT AFRICAN CHICKEN WITH SPINACH



Spicy, Hot African Chicken With Spinach image

For years I had been trying to replicate a dish that was prepared for me by an African family. Finally, during a random sales call, an African telemarketer was gracious enough to help me piece together the missing ingredients. This is a hot, spicy, thick stew that is completely addictive. It contains chicken, peanut butter, and spinach. There are some other variations of the African stew out there, but none compare to this. The secret to the stew is both peanut butter and spinach together. That is how the sauce gets its deep color. The peanut butter oil and spice combine to make sauce unbelievably thick and savory.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
3 chicken bouillon cubes
12 pieces chicken (legs and thighs)
4 -6 garlic cloves
8 ounces spinach
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups water
2 tablespoons peanut butter (with sugar)

Steps:

  • Rinse off chicken and cut off extra fat. Sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
  • Peel garlic cloves (4-6).
  • Wash and dry spinach.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot. Keep heat low so oil does not smoke.
  • Add garlic to oil in pan and heat until brown, remove with spoon and set aside (be careful)
  • Add chicken to pan and turn heat to medium.
  • Put a good sear on the chicken until it is browned.
  • Add half water to pan and deglaze. This will get the chicken flavor off the bottom of the pan.
  • Add bouillon and pepper to water and bring to a boil. You now have your chicken simmering in a broth.
  • Reduce pan liquid by half. Cook until chicken is falling off the bone.
  • Add peanut butter, browned garlic, and paprika.
  • Add spinach and stir until all ingredient have integrated (10 minutes at least).
  • Watch it close so it doesn't burn.
  • The stew should be thick when you remove it. If its runny then let it simmer until it thickens.

Sweet and Spicy Honey-Glazed Grilled Chicken with Spinach Salad and Pantry Dressing image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 pounds chicken (I'm using thighs)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon favorite spice mix (I'm using Old Bay)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons honey (I'm using wildflower)
2 tablespoons mustard (I'm using sweet and spicy brown mustard)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pound leafy greens (I'm using baby spinach)
One 14-ounce can beans, rinsed and drained (I'm using chickpeas)
1/2 cup sliced red onion
4 strips bacon, diced
1/4 cup vinegar (I'm using white wine vinegar)
1 tablespoon honey (I'm using wildflower)
1 tablespoon mustard (I'm using sweet and spicy brown mustard)
Leftover ketchup in the container (or about 1 tablespoon ketchup)

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
  • Brush the chicken with the oil and season with the spice mix and a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Put the chicken on the hot side of the grill bone-side down, close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Flip the chicken, brush with the glaze and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill bone-side down and apply the remaining glaze. Close the lid, open the vents halfway if using a charcoal grill and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 15 to 20 minutes longer. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a baking sheet and roast, brushing with the glaze occasionally, until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • For the spinach salad: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, chickpeas and onions in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Put a heavy-bottomed skillet on the hot side of the grill, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
  • Add the vinegar, mustard, and honey to an almost-empty ketchup container and shake vigorously (or whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and ketchup in a small bowl). Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the ketchup mixture to make a warm dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the greens and toss together. Transfer the greens to a platter and top with the chicken.
