Voodoo Child Chicken

1. 1

   Saute chicken pieces in a skillet with butter and garlic until chicken and garlic are nicely browned.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Remove chicken from skillet and coat with voodoo rub (tomato paste mixture).

4. 4

   Test your heat tolerance first!

5. 5

   Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour (depending on which chicken pieces you're using).

6. 6

   Alternatively, after sauteeing with garlic, this chicken can be grilled with the voodoo rub.

7. 7

   I like to serve with plain white rice spiked with sliced scallions.

8. 8

   Oh, and remember not to rub your eyes after handling that chile- or wear gloves while crushing!
