Voodoo Child Recipes

VOODOO CHILD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Saute chicken pieces in a skillet with butter and garlic until chicken and garlic are nicely browned.
• In the meantime, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare the voodoo rub: Combine black pepper, paprika, thyme, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, crushed bay leaf, crushed dried chile, salt, Tabasco, brown sugar and tomato paste in a small bowl.
• Remove chicken from skillet and coat with voodoo rub (tomato paste mixture).
• Test your heat tolerance first!
• Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour (depending on which chicken pieces you're using).
• Alternatively, after sauteeing with garlic, this chicken can be grilled with the voodoo rub.
• I like to serve with plain white rice spiked with sliced scallions.
• Oh, and remember not to rub your eyes after handling that chile- or wear gloves while crushing!
