Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 3 pounds total; or substitute chicken wings)
Grapeseed oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium limes, zested and juiced
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons Asian chile paste, such as sambal oelek
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon tamari
2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias
1/3 cup roughly chopped and packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

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.

Time 28m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the chicken
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha
2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips
Vegetable oil, for the grill
For the peanut dipping sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped, including some of the green part
3 tablespoons chunky peanut butter, preferably all-natural and sugar-free
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha, or to taste
1/4 cup lime juice
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
To serve
Cooked rice
Sliced cucumbers
Fresh pungent greens such as Thai basil or arugula

Steps:

  • Soak the bamboo skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes.
  • Marinate the chicken: In a bowl large enough to hold the chicken, stir together the brown sugar, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, sriracha, and ginger. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. You can also marinate them in a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag to save space in the fridge, if you prefer.
  • Prepare the grill: For charcoal grills: Light one chimney full of coals and when they are covered with ash, spread them out evenly. Allow the grill grates to heat for 5 minutes. With a pair of tongs, dip a folded square of paper towel in oil and generously oil the grates. For a gas grill: Heat the grill on high heat for about 20 minutes. With a pair of tongs, dip a folded square of paper towel in oil and generously oil the grates.
