If you are looking for a way to spice up your chicken thighs, look no further. While your chicken is cooking on the grill, seasoned with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder, make the sauce.

The sauce has tamari (you can substitute soy sauce if you don’t have any tamari), honey, peanut butter, lime juice, sambal chili paste (you can substitute sweet chili sauce if you want less heat), and finely chopped scallions.

Once your chicken has finished grilling, drizzle this yummy sauce over it and serve a little more in a ramekin on the side for dipping. Top it off with some fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts.

Grilled Chicken Thighs with Spicy Peanut Lime Sauce

Ingredients

  • 4 - 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp tamari
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp Asian chili paste, like sambal oelek (for less heat use a sweet chile sauce)
  • 3 - 4 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Spice Mixture
  • 2 Tbsp ea Kosher salt,black pepper, onion and garlic powder

Instructions

1

Pre-heat your grill or oven (pre-heat to 350 degrees if baking)

2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder

3

Pat the chicken thighs with a paper towel, then season both sides liberally with the spice mixture

4

Put the chicken on the grill, skin side down

5

Once the chicken is on the grill, start on the sauce

6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, tamari, lime zest and juice, along with the chili paste, honey and scallions

7

Start by gently breaking down the peanut butter with the whisk. As the peanut butter breaks down, it will get easier to whisk

8

Once the chicken is about half-way cooked, flip it so the skin side is up

9

When the chicken is done (about 165 degrees internal temp), put it on a platter, drizzle the sauce you made along with the cilantro and chopped peanuts

Serve right away and enjoy!
