ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEANUT BUTTER BARBECUE SAUCE



Roasted Chicken Thighs With Peanut Butter Barbecue Sauce image

Peanut butter is the surprise guest in this spicy-sweet barbecue sauce, which cooks up in just 10 minutes. This versatile sauce, which adds nutty richness and depth, keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge and also freezes well. You'll have quite a bit: This recipe yields 2 cups of sauce. It's great to have on hand, doing double-duty as a sauce or a fantastic marinade for chicken or baby back ribs. (If allergies are a concern, substitute in almond butter for the peanut butter.) Serve with sautéed green beans, roasted broccoli or coleslaw.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup minced onion (about 1/4 medium onion)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup natural smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons turbinado or light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil. Add onion and cook over moderate medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized and deepened in color, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and 6 tablespoons water. Simmer until flavors are combined, and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Make the chicken: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, oil and 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce and season with salt. Toss to evenly coat and arrange on the rack. Roast, using a brush to baste with the remaining 1/2 cup sauce every 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and deep golden in color, about 30 minutes. Serve with the leftover sauce on the side, or store sauce in the refrigerator for later use.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Stir-Fry with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 knob ginger, grated (to equal about 1 tablespoon)
5 large cloves garlic, grated
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons canola oil
12 to 15 small red radishes, quartered, plus 1 loose cup radish greens, coarsely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup frozen peas
Zest and juice from 1 small lime

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
  • Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
  • In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken legs: Look for chicken legs that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid chicken legs that are thin or have a lot of skin and bones.
  • Marinate the chicken legs: Marinating the chicken legs in a mixture of spices and herbs will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat. You can marinate the chicken legs for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken legs over medium heat: Cooking the chicken legs over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook the chicken legs over high heat, they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Baste the chicken legs with the sauce: Basting the chicken legs with the sauce while they are cooking will help to keep them moist and flavorful. You can baste the chicken legs every few minutes or so.
  • Serve the chicken legs with your favorite sides: Chicken legs can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables. You can also serve the chicken legs with a dipping sauce, such as the spicy peanut sauce that is included in this recipe.

Conclusion:

This recipe for chicken legs with spicy peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken legs are marinated in a mixture of spices and herbs, then cooked over medium heat until they are tender and juicy. The spicy peanut sauce is made with a combination of peanut butter, chili sauce, and soy sauce, and it adds a delicious flavor to the chicken legs. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
