- Servings: 4
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Cook time: 27-30 minutes
- Total time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
Chicken Thighs
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or another high smoke point oil)
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Honey Soy Peanut Butter Sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons PB2 Original Powdered Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Heat the avocado oil in a cast iron skillet (or another oven-proof skillet) over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet, and sear for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan.
- Flip the chicken thighs, and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken thighs to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then check the internal temperature of the chicken. (The internal temperature should be 170F.)
- As the chicken thighs cook, combine the broth, PB2 Original Powdered Peanut Butter, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger and cornstarch in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the oven, and pour the sauce directly into the pan. It will bubble in the HOT skillet. Give it a few stirs until it thickens. (This should happen without you having to turn on the stovetop.)
- Once the sauce is ready, serve warm over rice with your favorite steamed vegetables.
