• Pour the tomatoes and chicken stock into the skillet, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Stir in peanut butter, and cook stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. This should only take a minute or two. If the sauce is not thickening, you may stir in more peanut butter.

CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN WITH WHITE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fit cooling racks into 2 baking sheets.
• Place 1 chicken breast in a one-gallon resealable plastic bag with the seal left open (alternatively, place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap). Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and egg in a medium bowl. Set up a dredging station by arranging the chicken, dry ingredients, wet ingredients and prepared baking sheet in an assembly line. Dredge 1 chicken breast in the dry ingredients to coat, then dip in the wet ingredients and shake off any excess. Dredge once again in the dry ingredients to coat and transfer to one of the cooling racks. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Fill a deep cast-iron skillet with 3/4 to 1 inch of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in 2 batches, fry the chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Place on the second cooling rack and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
• For the gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking continuously, until light brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in the milk in a steady stream while whisking. Add 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, then the vinegar. Cook at a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve the chicken fried chicken topped with the white gravy.

GINA'S PERFECT ROAST CHICKEN WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
• Lay onion slices down the center of a large cast iron skillet to create 2 rows that are touching.
• Season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper, add lemon slices, thyme, rosemary, sage and garlic cloves.
• Using your hands, gently separate the skin from the meat of the breast. Evenly spread the Herb Butter on the meat underneath the skin. Take the remaining butter and gently rub the skin. Wash hands and season the skin with salt and pepper. Tie drumsticks together using twine. Place the chicken on the onion slices.
• Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure the thighs have reached 165 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the oven. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest.
• Spoon off as much fat from the pan as possible. Place the pan over high heat and add white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add chicken broth and let reduce to about half, about 4 to 5 minutes. Strain out the onions. Add the gravy back to the pan and keep warm.
• Cut the twine from the drumsticks and carve. Pour the gravy into a serving bowl and serve with the chicken.
• In a small bowl, add the butter, chopped thyme, rosemary, and sage. Season with salt and pepper and mix together with a wooden spoon. Reserve.

GRILLED PEANUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, curry powder, and cayenne pepper.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on grate, and brush with 1/2 the sauce. Grill 6 to 8 minutes. Turn chicken, and brush with remaining sauce. Continue grilling 6 to 8 minutes, until chicken juices run clear.

PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Put the chicken, chopped garlic, a third of the lemongrass and half the ginger, spices and lime juice in a large bowl. Toss, then cover and leave for 30 mins, or chill for up to 24 hrs. Blitz the whole garlic, the rest of the lemongrass and ginger, remaining spices, chopped chilli, onion and a large splash of water to in a food processor. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a pan and brown the chicken all over. Set aside on a plate. Cook the paste for 8-10 mins until it splits. Stir in the peanut butter and kecap manis. When thickened, add the coconut milk and half a can of water, bring to a simmer, season, then add the chicken with its juices. Continue to simmer for 40 mins, stirring often. Turn off the heat, add the rest of the lime juice and season. Leave to rest for 10 mins. Scatter over the sliced chilli, spring onions, fresh coriander and peanuts to serve.

GRANDMA CHICKEN (CHICKEN AND GRAVY)

Steps:

• Combine flour and pepper in a ziplock bag.
• Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and add to flour mixture.
• After all chicken is in the bag, close bag and shake to coat chicken pieces.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat.
• Slowly brown both sides of chicken in the melted butter. Note: If your skillet isn't large enough, you can do this in batches, it may require additional butter.
• Remove chicken and set aside in a baking dish.
• Cook onion in same pan until soft (if using onion powder, skip this step).
• Add a small amount (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) of the flour/pepper mixture to the water.
• Mix well.
• Pour water and flour mixture slowly into the pan.
• Add chicken broth and thyme (if using onion powder, add it now) and bring to a simmer. Stir often to make a thickish gravy.
• Return browned chicken pieces to the pan.
• Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring periodically.
• Transfer chicken and gravy into baking dish. I use a 2.8 liter Corning Ware dish, but a 9x13 dish will work as well.
• Cover and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
• Note: This dish freezes beautifully. After cooking for the first 30 minutes, cool, place in a freezer bag. When you are ready to cook, defrost and cook, covered at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

PEANUT BUTTER ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start by roasting your chicken the way you normally would. If you don't normally roast your chickens, I'll just put the way we do it here for you. The rest of you can skip this bit.
• First cover the inside of your chicken in a thin layer of kosher salt.
• laying the chicken breast side down, cover in a light layer of olive oil and sprinkle with prepared spices, one spice at a time.
• Turn the chicken over and repeat this. Don't forget to sprinkle some of those spices into the cavity so that the bird is completely flavored.
• Pop that bird in the oven. Go relax for a bit, unless you have side dishes to prepare. If so, do that, *then* go relax.
• After the bird's been cooking for about an hour, go back to the kitchen and grab the peanut butter, the honey, and an orange.
• Cut the orange in half.
• Eat one half, because you're probably hungry from the smell of roasting chicken and half an orange isn't going to fill you up, especially if someone is there to help you eat it.
• Mix one half cup of peanut butter and one quarter cup of honey together in a small bowl. It's gonna look really thick.
• Squeeze that orange into the bowl. Not the one you've been eating, the other half. Squeeze it. Squeeze it hard. Little more. Alright, you can stop.
• Mix that into your honey and peanut butter and don't freak out if it gets a little grainy at first, it'll smooth out. You can also grate some of the orange peel in there. You don't have to, but it gives it a good texture.
• Set that in your fridge until the last ten to twenty (thirty on the outside) minutes of roasting for your chicken. You can't do this at the start of the roasting because the peanut butter and honey will just dry up and get hard on the surface of your chicken and not be very appetizing.
• Pull the chicken out and use a barbecue brush to slather on the peanut butter mixture. Apply as liberally as you want. It's all you. Make sure you get it all over the chicken. If there's any left over, you can slather it on the inside of your chicken if you want. We've never done that, but I suspect it makes the gravy taste very interesting indeed.
• Put the chicken back in the oven to cook the rest of the allotted time and clean up any mess you've made. Maybe give that last bit of orange to anyone who wouldn't help you make the chicken in the first place.
• Ding! Timer goes off, pull out the chicken, make gravy if desired, carve up, serve, and enjoy!
