These chicken thighs are flavorful, moist, and very easy to make. And when dipped into an Asian-inspired peanut sauce, just wait for the m-m-m-m-m's to begin. I like to serve this with Cucumber Slices with Dill (a recipe on this site) and white rice.

Steps:
- Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and sprinkle with salt.
- Stir mayonnaise, lime zest, ginger, salt, and pepper for the marinade in a bowl until smooth. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag, add marinade, seal, and massage the bag until all the chicken pieces are coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Soak 6-inch wooden skewers in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
- Whisk peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and sambal oelek together in a bowl. Slowly whisk in small amounts of warm water until dipping sauce reaches the desired consistency; set aside.
- Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grate.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and thread chicken onto the skewers; discard marinade.
- Place skewers on the hot grill and cook until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, lowering the heat if chicken is browning too fast. Turn skewers as often as necessary for even browning, and to keep the chicken from burning.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges and peanut sauce for dipping.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
- Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
- In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

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.

Tips for Making Spicy Ginger Chicken with Peanuts:
- For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and garlic. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Use a good quality soy sauce. A dark soy sauce will give the chicken a richer flavor, while a light soy sauce will be less salty.
- If you don't have Chinese rice wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- If you like your chicken extra crispy, you can fry it for a few minutes longer.
- Serve the chicken with steamed rice, noodles, or a stir-fried vegetable dish.
Conclusion:
Spicy Ginger Chicken with Peanuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the peanuts add a nice crunch. The sauce is also very tasty, and it's perfect for spooning over the chicken and rice. If you're looking for a new and exciting chicken dish to try, I highly recommend Spicy Ginger Chicken with Peanuts.
