Categories     Chicken

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 habanero pepper, cut in half, seeds removed
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 chicken drumsticks
1/2 medium onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place habanero pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 10 - 15 minutes or until soft.
  • Combine roasted habanero pepper, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, cilantro and lime juice in a food processor. Process until well blended.
  • Place chicken in a bowl. Pour marinade over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to cook. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place chicken in a baking dish or oven proof pan. Pour marinade over the top. Lay sliced onions around chicken. Cook in preheated oven for 35 - 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and browned.
  • Transfer chicken to a serving platter and spoon sauce over the top. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right habanero peppers: Look for ripe, firm habaneros that are a vibrant orange or red color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers: The capsaicin in habaneros can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when preparing them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the habanero peppers: The seeds and ribs are where most of the heat is concentrated, so removing them will help to reduce the spiciness of the dish.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the marinade: This will help to create a smooth and flavorful marinade that will evenly coat the chicken.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, beans, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Ben's Habanero Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The habanero peppers add a nice kick of heat, but the sweetness of the honey and the smokiness of the paprika help to balance out the flavors. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
