Peanut Chicken from Niger

Recipe #390062 | 2½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

By: L'ecole
Sep 14, 2009

A friend of a friend was in the Peace Corps in Niger. He reconstructed this recipe when he got back to the U.S., adapting it to ingredients available here. If you can find African Bird Pepper, use it instead of cayenne, but use about half as much, since it's about twice as hot.
