Drunken Chicken
1 cup raisins
Half cup sherry
1 cup plain (all purpose) flour
Half tsp salt
Half tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp vegetable oil
8 skinless chicken thighs
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tart eating apples
1 cup flaked (sliced) almonds
1 slightly under-ripe plantain, peeled and sliced
1 and a quarter cups boiling chicken stock
Half cup tequila
Chopped fresh herbs, to garnish
1. Put the raisins in a bowl and add the sherry. Set aside to soak.
2. Meanwhile, combine the flour, salt + pepper and spread the mixture out onto a large plate. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan. Coat each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour, then fry, turning, until browned all over. Drain well on kitchen paper.
3. Heat the remaining oil in the pan, add the onion and fry for 5 mins, until soft and beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic, then remove the pan from the heat. Tip the onions and garlic into the crockpot and switch on to High.
4. Peel, core and dice the apples. Add them to the crockpot, then sprinkle with the almonds, plantain slices and raisins. Pour in the sherry, chicken stock and tequila and stir to combine.
5. Add the chicken pieces to the fruit and veg mixture, pressing them down into the stock so that they are completely covered. Cover with the lid and cook for 3 hours, or until the chicken thighs are very tender.
6. Check the chicken is cooked and taste the sauce, adjusting as necessary. Serve sprinkled with chopped fresh herbs...lovely with rice or warmed flour tortillas to scoop up the chicken and sauce.
Sorry it's not chilli-fied - but it's very nice!!! Sally
