1 teaspoon sesame seeds
* Or any other type of chicken pieces
In a large heavy skillet sauté the onion in the oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until it is
golden brown. In a mortar with a pestle crush the coriander seeds and the aniseed, stir them into the
onion mixture with the chili powder, the sugar, the cinnamon, and the cloves, and cook the mixture
over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the peanut butter and tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder, the peanut butter, 2 cups of
the broth, the raisins, the garlic paste, and salt to taste and simmer the sauce,
uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
While the sauce is cooking cut off the wing tips, reserving them for another use such as stock if desired,
and halve the wings at the joint. Pat the wings dry, season them with salt and pepper, and on the oiled rack
of a broiler pan broil them, skin side up, under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for
10 minutes, or until they are golden. Turn the wings and broil them for 10 minutes more, or until they
are golden. In a blender or food processor purée the sauce in batches, adding the remaining broth as
necessary to thin it to the desired consistency. Transfer the sauce to the skillet, add the wings,
and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Serve the wings with the mole sauce over the rice,
sprinkled with the sesame seeds.
Serves 4 to 6.
