Ingredients
- For the chicken:
- 8 large chicken thighs, about 2 1/2 pounds (NOTE: I often remove the skins)
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, preferably peanut oil (NOTE: Regardless of the oil you use, I sub half sesame oil here for extra flavor - it's great)
- 1/4 soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (NOTE: I often use up to 4 cloves here because I love garlic)
- One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp. toasted coriander (Spread them over the bottom of a small skillet over medium-high heat and toss or stir them until dark brown and fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to plate to cool, then grind in a small grinder or mortar and pestle. If you use pre-ground coriander, heat it a bit in a pan first and cool....it makes the taste better.)
- 1/4 tsp. curry powder
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- ****
- MY ADAPTATIONS to the marinade and Optional:
- 3-4 chopped scallions
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- ****
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter (if you're browning the chicken on the stovetop before going into the oven)

- For the peanut sauce (Can use your favorite bottled, but this is good):
- 3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, your preference)
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- One 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
