Ingredients

  • 4 succulent bone-in thighs of chicken
  • A dash of salt, to enhance the flavors
  • A sprinkle of ground black pepper, to tickle your taste buds
  • 6 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter, like the popular PB2®
  • 4 tablespoons of water, for the perfect consistency
  • 2 teaspoons of spicy hot honey, such as the renowned Mike's Hot Honey®
  • ½ tablespoon of soy sauce, for that umami kick
  • A hint of garlic powder, to elevate the dish

Step 1

Prepare the chicken thighs by generously seasoning them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, combine the peanut butter powder and water until they form a smooth mixture. Introduce a touch of hot honey, soy sauce, and garlic powder into the blend, stirring until all the flavors meld perfectly. Gently place the chicken thighs into the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours, or even better, overnight for a burst of flavors.

Step 3

As the marination process unfolds, preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for the perfect cooking environment.

Step 4

Once marinated, delicately transfer the chicken thighs into an oven-safe dish, ready for the next step.

Step 5

Slide the dish into the preheated oven and allow the chicken to bake until it reaches a delightful golden brown hue, ensuring that the meat is cooked through. This typically takes around 35 to 45 minutes. To double-check, insert an instant-read thermometer close to the bone; when it reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), your dish is perfectly cooked and ready to be enjoyed.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize Mason jars to store your freshly made spicy honey peanut sauce. The airtight lid will keep it fresh for future use.
  2. 2. Keep your chicken thighs in a stackable food storage container to save space in the fridge. Make sure to label the container with the date for easy meal planning.
