Chicken Legs With Spicy Peanut Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN SATAY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

• Whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, lemongrass, agave, soy sauce, ginger, chili flakes and garlic (makes 3/4 cup).

Add the chicken to the marinade in the baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Strain reserved marinade into a large bowl; whisk with the vegetable oil. Add the shredded cabbage, snap peas and cilantro; cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high; soak about 24 skewers in water for 20 minutes. Thread chicken onto skewers. Lightly oil grill grates; sear or grill chicken in batches until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss slaw; serve with chicken and Spicy Peanut Sauce, if desired.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl with 1 tablespoon water; whisk until smooth.

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.

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.
