Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)
  • Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the marinade in a medium mixing bowl, combining the peanut butter, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey or brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and coconut milk.
  2. Marinate the chicken by placing it in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pouring the marinade over, ensuring it’s well coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off and reserving some for basting.
  5. Grill the chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
  7. Serve the grilled chicken thighs with jasmine rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

For added crunch, consider topping the chicken with crushed peanuts or serve with a cucumber salad.
