Voodoo Child Chicken

"Take up some of your sweet time with this peppery, garlicky, sweetish and spicy all-in-one entree. The voodoo rub also livens up mild white fish, such as orange roughy (being a "pesco-vegetarian", this is how I eat it). Plus it's tasty on the grill, too. By the way, this is the Stevie Ray Vaughan version ..."

directions

  • Saute chicken pieces in a skillet with butter and garlic until chicken and garlic are nicely browned.
  • 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.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and coat with voodoo rub (tomato paste mixture).
  • Test your heat tolerance first!
  • Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour (depending on which chicken pieces you're using).
  • Alternatively, after sauteeing with garlic, this chicken can be grilled with the voodoo rub.
  • I like to serve with plain white rice spiked with sliced scallions.
  • Oh, and remember not to rub your eyes after handling that chile- or wear gloves while crushing!

  1. one word, YUM! I used chicken breasts because I hate picking meat off bones. I love lots and lots of herbs and spices on things and this was great. I can't wait to experiment with other meats!
     
  2. DH made this for our dinner last night and so good, followed the recipe and finished on the outside grill. Spicy but just the right amount for us, though for some I'm sure would need to cut down on the chili's. We'll be doing this one again
     
  3. Pretty good chicken. I used 2 large chicken breasts that I cut into pieces and skewered, then cooked on the grill. I ended up having some rub left over, so put on a couple pieces of tilapia which was good as well. I used chili powder since I didn't have the dried chiles and added some cayenne for heat.
     
  4. I really thought I'd love this one but i found the pepper to dominating and it failed to allow the other flavours to shine.
     
  5. Very good! I skipped the sugar because my husband doesn't like it. Will make it again, thanks!

  1. I really enjoyed this. I did substitute olive oil for the butter. The end result was tangy, with a surprising hint of sweetness. Not too spicy and not too sweet - just very tasty. As well this is incredibly easy to put together, with a quick preparation time. I will definitely be making this again.
