Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you’re planning to finish the chicken in the oven later.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.
- Mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth for a delicious coating.
- Dip each chicken thigh into the peanut butter mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat with panko breadcrumbs for maximum crunch.
- Fry the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, if using, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve with the remaining peanut sauce drizzled over the top.
Notes
For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in the peanut mixture and breadcrumbs. Feel free to experiment with the sauce by adding chili flakes or lime juice.
