Start by marinating your chicken pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Let it sit for a good 30 minutes. Heat some oil in a pot, then brown the chicken until golden and crispy. Set the pieces aside; they’ll come back even better!

Using the same pot, sauté your onions, garlic, and diced red bell pepper until they become soft and fragrant. This step sets the foundation for a flavorful sauce.

Now, stir in your ground peanuts and creamy peanut butter. These ingredients thicken the sauce and give it that iconic nutty richness.

Pour in the palm nut cream and mix it well. This is when the dish gets its signature character.

Return the browned chicken to the pot, followed by diced tomatoes and Scotch bonnet pepper. Add the chicken broth to smoothen the sauce, then simmer on low heat for 30 to 40 minutes.

Once the chicken is tender, it’s time to plate up. Spoon the sauce generously over the chicken and your side dish of choice. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro to add a pop of freshness.
