Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup minced onion (about 1/4 medium onion)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup natural smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons turbinado or light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil. Add onion and cook over moderate medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized and deepened in color, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and 6 tablespoons water. Simmer until flavors are combined, and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Make the chicken: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, oil and 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce and season with salt. Toss to evenly coat and arrange on the rack. Roast, using a brush to baste with the remaining 1/2 cup sauce every 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and deep golden in color, about 30 minutes. Serve with the leftover sauce on the side, or store sauce in the refrigerator for later use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this marinade.
  • Use a good quality peanut butter: Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or oils.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add a teaspoon or two of Sriracha or cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the chicken and flavor it.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad are all great options.

Conclusion:
