Peanutty Chicken Recipe
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 (3 1/2) pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
- 5 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2/3 cup salted peanuts
- Orange slices (optional)
- Minced fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
- Combine chili powder, salt and pepper; rub over chicken. In a large skillet, saute chicken in butter until golden brown. Reduce heat; cover and cook until juices run clear, about 30 minutes. 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.
