3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets and stems discarded
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
