PEANUT GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse chicken thighs, pat dry. Place the chicken in a plastic bag set in a shallow bowl.
• In a small mixing bowl gradually stir hot water into peanut butter. Stir in chili sauce, soy sauce, the 2 T oil, the 2 T vinegar, garlic, ginger and red pepper.
• Pour marinade over chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat chicken thighs with marinade. Chill for 12 to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
• In a covered grill arrange medium hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium hot by placing hand over coals. When hand gets too hot at 3 seconds the temperature is right.
• Remove chicken from marinade. Place chicken on the grill rack over the drip pan but not over the coals. Lower the grill hood. Grill chicken for 35 to 45 minutes or until no pink remains.
• Note: I do not use a drip pan and places the chicken over dead coals, adjacent to the hot coals.

PEANUT (OR PEANUT BUTTER) GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, prepare the peanut butter sauce. Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 2 Tbs. olive oil together and stir until you form a smooth paste.
• Dice garlic and ginger as fine as you can get them, I use a grater with small holes and grate my garlic so that there are no large chunks for those that don't care to bite into a large piece of garlic.
• Cube your chicken into small bite sized pieces or cut into small strips if you prefer.
• In a pan, heat up some olive oil (I usually use about 2 Tbs.) add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds depending on how hot you got the olive oil. Then add the chicken, season to your taste with salt and pepper, and cook until completely cooked through.
• Add the sauce mixture and stir to coat all of the chicken. Reduce heat to a medium low and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes stirring frequently. If the sauce starts to become too think or clumps together add small amounts of water and stir to keep a nice consistency. The sauce should coat the chicken without being soupy.
• Remove the pan from heat and serve the chicken over rice. Garnish with parsley or sesame seeds if you wish.
