1 tsp Minced dried hot chile pepper
1 tsp Minced garlic
2 T Minced shallot
1 tsp Paprika
2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder 2 tsp Crumbled dried rosemary
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sauce:
1 c Minced shallot
1/2 c Minced garlic
1-1/2 c Minced red bell pepper or smaller qty of hotter red peppers if desired
1/4 c Canola oil
1/2 c Sweet paprika

1-1/2 c Chicken stock
2 Bay leaves
3 T Canola oil
1 Baking potato or 4-5 new potatoes
Cooking Instructions:
Mix marinade ingredients, rub into chicken and marinate covered in fridge overnight. Adding a little oil to the marinade helps the rub stick to the chicken. Sweat shallots, garlic and peppers in oil over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are softened. Add paprika, coconut, peanut butter, bay leaf and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about ten minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Keep warm. Heat oil medium high in a frypan and brown the chicken well with the potato cut into one inch cubes. Even better, grill the chicken, and brown potato seperately. Transfer chicken and potatoes to baking dish, spoon 2 cups of the sauce over, and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes if in pieces, a little longer if in halves. Finish with remaining sauce and serve.
