Instructions
Marinade
- Add Marinade ingredients to a large freezer bag and whisk to combine. Add chicken, remove excess air, seal and turn to coat. Marinate 4 hours up to overnight.
Wet Rub
- When ready to grill, remove chicken from marinade and dab off any excess. Place chicken on a baking sheet. Mix Wet Rub Spices with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Rub evenly over both sides of chicken. Let sit 20-30 minutes.
Thai Orange Peanut Sauce
- Meanwhile, whisk all Thai Orange Peanut Sauce ingredients together EXCEPT Peanut Butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for approximately 7-10 minutes or until reduced and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally (it will thicken more as you add peanut butter and upon standing so make sure it’s not too thick).
- Stir in peanut butter until smooth. If sauce thickens too much before serving then return to heat and whisk in a little water to thin.
GRILL DIRECTIONS
- Grease and heat grill to medium heat. Add chicken, cover, and cook 6-8 minutes per side, or until no longer pink and an inside thermometer registers 165 degrees F.
- Slather chicken with Orange Peanut Sauce and garnish with cilantro and crushed peanuts. Serve with remaining sauce (extra sauce is especially delicious with rice).
STOVE TOP/OVEN DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken (you will need to work in batches), and sear 2-3 minutes per side.
- Add chicken to a foil lined, greased 9x13 pan (for easy cleanup), COVER with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil cover, and continue to cook, uncovered an additional 15-20 minutes OR until an inside thermometer registers 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the chicken.
- Slather chicken with Orange Peanut Sauce and garnish with cilantro and crushed peanuts. Serve with remaining sauce (extra sauce is especially delicious with rice).
