Grilled Chicken With Spicy Peanut Sauce Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SPICY PEANUT LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F or a large grill pan over medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
• Place the thighs on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil until fully coated; liberally season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken skin-side down, covered, until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes (or up to 20 minutes, if using a grill pan). Check on the thighs occasionally to make sure they aren't burning. Flip the chicken and grill, covered, until crispy and cooked through, about 15 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the lime zest and juice with the peanut butter, chile paste, honey, tamari and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together and taste for seasoning. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
• When the chicken is ready, remove it to a platter or a large shallow bowl. Drizzle with some of the sauce then sprinkle with the scallions, cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a shallow bowl or re-sealable plastic bag.
• Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound each of them with a meat mallet so they are an even thickness.
• Place the chicken in the soy marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
• Prep your grill. The grill should be moderately hot (see below)
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry then place on the hot grill. Cook on each side for about 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through (see below for internal temperature)
• If the chicken gets browned too fast and the center is not cooked completely, move the chicken breasts to a cooler zone on the grill until they are completely cooked.
• Remove the chicken from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve with spicy peanut sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• to make the sauce, combine all of the ingredients except the chicken in a blender (a high-speed blender (affiliate) will work best if you're using whole brazil nuts). if you don't want to/can't use a blender, use peanut butter (instead of whole nuts) and finely grate the garlic and ginger (i recommend a microplaner (affiliate)), then shake the sauce together in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. thin with water, adding a teaspoon or two at a time, if desired.
• trim the chicken breasts and pound to a uniform 1" (2.5 cm) thick. coat the chicken in about ½ to 2/3 of the sauce. let it marinate for a few minutes while you prepare the other parts of dinner.
• prepare a medium - hot (350 - 400° F) grill. cook the chicken breasts over direct heat, thicker parts of the breasts closer to the hot side of the grill, for about 15 minutes total, turning over halfway through the cooking time, or once they are no longer stuck to the grate. cook until the thickest part of the breast reaches 165° F. discard the used marinade. serve immediately with remaining sauce (that didn't have raw chicken in it) for dipping.

• WASH, trim and pound chicken to flatten to a consistent thickness.
• MIX brown sugar, peanut butter, oil, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl to make marinade.
• PLACE chicken in a shallow dish (or food storage bag). Cover with marinade. Marinate 1 hour at room temperature or as long as overnight in refrigerator.
• When ready to cook: HEAT grill. Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, ginger, garlic and cayenne in a heavy saucepan to make peanut sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in chicken stock and cream. Cook 1 minute more, whisking. Keep warm while grilling chicken.
• REMOVE chicken from marinade and place on hot grill. Grill 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until browned and no longer pink in center.
• SPOON peanut sauce over hot chicken and sprinkle with cilantro.
