1/2 tablespoon fish sauce (or additional 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 small, juicy limes)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup low sodium chicken broth

2 teaspoons fish sauce (or additional 2 teaspoons soy sauce)
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let cook, stirring often, until the sauce is smooth and has thickened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and set aside.

  • Grill chicken until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro, then serve warm with peanut sauce and lime wedges.
