Step 1

Prepare the syrup: Add the full-fat coconut milk and sugar to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in the liquid smoke. Let cool a little bit while you prepare the flour coating.

Step 2

Make the flour coating: To a medium size mixing bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk until combined.

Step 3

Coat the peanuts: Add the raw peanuts to a large mixing bowl. Pour about one tablespoon of the syrup over the peanuts and shake the bowl to coat. Next, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of the flour mixture over the peanuts and shake again to coat the peanuts evenly. (I cover the mixing bowl with a plastic film while shaking ir to prevent peanuts from jumping out of it.)

Step 4

Repeat the same process 4-5 times: add syrup and shake to coat. Then add flour and shake again. The peanuts will have a thick flour coating once you have used up all the syrup and flour.

Step 5

Fry the peanuts: Heat the oil in a deep saucepan or skillet over low-medium heat. Once hot, add half of the peanuts and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Note: do not heat over medium-high heat, otherwise the coating will brown too quickly, and the peanuts will not cook inside.

Step 6

Remove the peanuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil. Repeat with the remaining peanuts.

Step 7

Finally, sprinkle smoked paprika and chili over the fried peanuts and stir to coat. Let cool completely and enjoy!

Step 8

Crunchy peanuts will keep for up to 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container.
