Marinated Peanut Chicken A La Laura

¾ cup dry roasted peanuts

½ teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

½ cup honey

½ cup olive oil

salt to taste

8 chicken thighs

In a medium mixer bowl combine the crushed peanuts, paprika, ginger, turmeric, honey, olive oil and salt; use an electric mixer to blend together and form a thick, crunchy, spreadable paste. (Note: If you find it too gooey or thick, try adding a little cola; it gives the recipe a nice, exotic flavor!)

Place chicken thighs in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Using your hands, cover chicken pieces with the peanut mixture, coating them completely. Cover dish and refrigerate to marinate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish; cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 45 to 60 minutes or until juices run clear, turning every 15 minutes so that they cook evenly.
