Time 5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped finev
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh ginger

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together until well blended.
The neatest way to do it is to pour the 1/2 cup oil into a large glass measuring cup (2 cup size or larger), add peanut butter to the oil until the total comes out to 1 cup.
I continue adding vinegar, soy sauce& lemon juice to the measuring cup in this manner.
I pour it all out into a small mixing bowl to add the seasonings.
This way the peanut butter pours out w/the oil instead of making a mess in the measuring cup.
I use jarred garlic& ginger- this accounts for the 5 minutes prep time.
I mainly use this for tofu chunks or chicken- marinate at least one hour or overnight.
If using chicken'tenders' set aside some of the marinade (before adding the rest of it to chicken) to use as a dipping sauce.

Tips:

If you don't have brown sugar, substitute white sugar. Reduce the amount to 1/4 cup.
To make a spicier marinade, add 1 teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
For a sweeter marinade, add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup.
If you're using a thicker peanut butter, you may need to add a little more soy sauce or water to thin it out.
To get the most flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
Discard the marinade before cooking the chicken.
Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter marinade is a versatile and delicious way to add flavor to chicken. It's easy to make and can be used with a variety of different cooking methods. Whether you're grilling, baking, or frying chicken, a peanut butter marinade will help you create a flavorful and memorable dish.
