Baked Thai Peanut Chicken
Baked Thai Peanut Chicken features boneless skinless chicken thighs cooked in a rich sauce of coconut milk, creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice, enhanced with garlic, ginger, and a touch of sesame oil. Baking the chicken in this sauce yields tender, flavorful meat with a mildly sweet and savory peanut-infused crust, garnished with fresh cilantro for brightness.
