Chicken In Smoky Coconut Sauce Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 gm olive oil
• 100 gm pearl onions, whole
• 6 gm garlic, whole
• 200 ml coconut milk
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 6 whole cloves
• 2 tsp smoked paprika (hot)
• peppercorn, to taste
• salt, to taste
• 6 chicken drumsticks, skinless, bone-in

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add the onions and garlic. Sauté till fragrant.
2. Add the coconut milk. Add in all the spices apart from the chicken. Mix in well and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add the chicken and spoon over the sauce to coat. At this point, you can lower the heat to a bare simmer, cover the pan and cook for 40 minutes or until the chicken is done.
4. Serve hot with herbed rice or crusty bread.

Notes:

1. To make this in the oven: After adding in the chicken, transfer the covered pan, in a 180°C/ 350°F. Cook for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
2. This chicken keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer up to a month. Slow and gentle reheating will ensure the consistency of the sauce to remain the same.
3. Adjust the heat as per your taste.
