A flavorful dish combining grilled chicken, creamy peanut butter, and a spicy marinade that evokes the tastes of Thailand.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)
  • Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey or brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and coconut milk. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes, or up to 480 minutes for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Prepare for Grilling: Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting while grilling. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
  5. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste with reserved marinade in the last few minutes.
  6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Serving the Chicken: Slice the chicken into strips or serve whole. Pair with jasmine rice, and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

Marinate longer for deeper flavor. Adjust spice levels by modifying red pepper flakes.
