Grilled Chicken Thighs With Spicy Peanut Lime Sauce Recipes

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.
