Roasted Chicken Thighs With Peanut Butter Barbecue Sauce Food

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEANUT BUTTER BARBECUE SAUCE

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SPICY PEANUT LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F or a large grill pan over medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
• Place the thighs on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil until fully coated; liberally season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken skin-side down, covered, until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes (or up to 20 minutes, if using a grill pan). Check on the thighs occasionally to make sure they aren't burning. Flip the chicken and grill, covered, until crispy and cooked through, about 15 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the lime zest and juice with the peanut butter, chile paste, honey, tamari and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together and taste for seasoning. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
• When the chicken is ready, remove it to a platter or a large shallow bowl. Drizzle with some of the sauce then sprinkle with the scallions, cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce on the side.
