Congolese Chicken with Peanuts

Ingredients:

4 x 1.1 kg chickens quartered

4 tbsp melted butter

salt for sprinkling

120 ml peanut butter

120 ml mayonnaise

100 g chopped peanuts

3 green bell peppers, blanched in boiling water, skinned, de-seeded and cut into 3 cm strips

Vegetable oil

Cooking Instructions:

Brush the chicken quarters with the melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Place on a baking sheet breast-side down and bake in an oven pre-heated to 170�C for 30 minutes then turn breast-side up. Blend the peanut butter with the mayonnaise and brush this mix over the chickens so that they are completely smothered in it. Return to the oven and bake for a further 20 minutes, or until the chicken is done. Meanwhile fry the green peppers in just enough vegetable oil to stop them burning. Continue cooking until they are quite dark brown. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the chicken. Serve on a bed of saffron or turmeric rice (ie yellow rice).
