Boonie Pepper Chicken

Submitted by LucyS-D

"Boonie peppers are small hot peppers grown on the island of Guam. They are similar to cayenne peppers or to Thai chilies. This recipe has been toned down to better suit the American palette (in Guam they use more like 20 to 40 peppers!). There will be leftover stock (spicy) that would be great for soup the next day."
