Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season chicken thighs generously on both sides with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered peanut butter and water until smooth. Stir in the hot honey, soy sauce, and garlic powder until well combined, creating a luscious marinade. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and turn to coat thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring every piece is enveloped in flavor. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (10 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 35 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (40 minutes)

For an extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve these flavorful chicken thighs over a bed of fluffy rice, noodles, or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
Feel free to adjust the amount of hot honey to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
