Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Arrange chicken thighs on a sheet pan, spacing them 2 inches apart. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, 2 tbsp water, minced garlic, and juice from half the lime in a bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Brush peanut glaze evenly over chicken thighs, coating both sides. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Broil 6 inches from heat for 12–14 minutes until internal temp hits 165°F and edges are golden-brown.
