This comforting stew is a flavorful journey to West Africa. Tender chicken drumsticks are browned and then simmered in a rich, aromatic sauce made with tomatoes, ginger, and rosemary, finished with creamy peanut butter for a uniquely savory and satisfying depth of flavor. It’s a simple, one-pan meal that is both nourishing and deeply delicious. For the best results, we recommend using Grain Field Chickens' fresh chicken drumsticks to ensure a high-quality, savory foundation for this unforgettable dish. Serve it hot over a bed of rice for the ultimate comfort food experience.
