Roasted Chicken Thighs With Peanut Butter Barbecue Sauce image

Peanut butter is the surprise guest in this spicy-sweet barbecue sauce, which cooks up in just 10 minutes. This versatile sauce, which adds nutty richness and depth, keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge and also freezes well. You'll have quite a bit: This recipe yields 2 cups of sauce. It's great to have on hand, doing double-duty as a sauce or a fantastic marinade for chicken or baby back ribs. (If allergies are a concern, substitute in almond butter for the peanut butter.) Serve with sautéed green beans, roasted broccoli or coleslaw.

Ingredients

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.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups brown sugar
½ cup barbeque sauce
½ cup ketchup
½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
8 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

Whisk together brown sugar, barbecue sauce, ketchup, honey, and soy sauce in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture and refrigerate for basting. Add chicken thighs to the remaining marinade and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place chicken in a glass baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the reserved 1/2 cup marinade, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

To achieve crispy skin on your chicken thighs, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning and roasting. This will help remove excess moisture from the skin, allowing it to crisp up in the oven.
If you don't have a grill, you can easily roast the chicken thighs in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
The peanut butter barbecue sauce is what makes this dish special. Be sure to use a creamy peanut butter for a smooth and flavorful sauce. You can also add a bit of Sriracha or cayenne pepper to the sauce for some extra heat.
Serve the roasted chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Roasted Chicken Thighs with Peanut Butter Barbecue Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken thighs are roasted until crispy and juicy, and the peanut butter barbecue sauce is a unique and flavorful twist on a classic barbecue sauce.
