## Coconut Rum Baked Chicken Recipe


Coconut milk and rum create a flavorful marinade that keeps the chicken moist and tender while baking. The sauce becomes slightly thick and rich, making it perfect to serve over rice or mashed potatoes.


### Ingredients


* 6 chicken thighs or drumsticks

* 1 cup coconut milk

* 1/4 cup dark rum

* 2 tablespoons brown sugar

* 2 tablespoons soy sauce

* 3 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 teaspoon grated ginger

* 1 teaspoon paprika

* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1 onion, sliced

* 1/2 cup chicken broth

* 1 tablespoon cooking oil


### Instructions


Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking oil and set it aside.


In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut milk, dark rum, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.


Place the sliced onions in the bottom of the baking dish and arrange the chicken pieces on top of the onions. Pour the coconut rum mixture over the chicken, then add the chicken broth around the sides of the dish.


Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 25–30 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. The sauce will thicken slightly as it bakes.


Before serving, spoon the coconut rum sauce over the chicken. This dish pairs very well with white rice, coconut rice, roasted vegetables, or sweet potatoes. The sauce is very flavorful and works well poured over the side dish.

## Peanut Butter Banana Caramel Ice Cream Recipe


This homemade ice cream is creamy and full of flavor from ripe bananas, peanut butter, and caramel. It is easy to make and does not require an ice cream machine if you freeze and stir it during the freezing process.


### Ingredients


* 2 ripe bananas

* 1 cup heavy cream

* 1 cup whole milk

* 1/2 cup peanut butter

* 1/2 cup sugar

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1/2 cup caramel sauce

* Pinch of salt


### Instructions


Peel and slice the ripe bananas and place them in a blender or food processor. Add the heavy cream, milk, peanut butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.


Pour the mixture into a bowl or freezer-safe container. Gently swirl in the caramel sauce so you get ribbons of caramel throughout the ice cream instead of fully mixing it in.


Cover the container and place it in the freezer for about 4–5 hours. For a smoother texture, remove the ice cream from the freezer every hour and stir it, then return it to the freezer. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming.


When the ice cream is fully frozen, let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping so it softens slightly. Serve with extra caramel sauce, sliced bananas, or chopped peanuts on top.
