Time 8h20m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 orange, zested (about 2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup light soy sauce
2 teaspoons peeled grated fresh ginger
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch wide strips
Oil, for grill grate
Skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes if wooden)
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
1/3 cup roughly chopped roasted, salted peanuts, for serving

Steps:

In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, peanut butter, sugar, soy, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth and evenly combined. Reserve 1/3 cup of the mixture to serve as a dipping sauce. Put the marinade in a resalable plastic bag, add the chicken, seal the bag and turn to coat evenly. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 8 hours.
Heat a grill to medium heat, (350 degrees F), and rub the grate with a towel dipped in oil. Thread 1 to 2 chicken tenders on each skewer. Grill the chicken until thoroughly cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts. Serve hot or at room temperature with the reserved peanut sauce.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and garlic.
To make a spicier marinade, add more chili pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
If you don't have rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
When grilling the chicken, cook it over medium-high heat so that it doesn't dry out.
Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This peanut ginger marinade is a versatile and delicious way to add flavor to your chicken. It's perfect for grilling, baking, or stir-frying.
