(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • Juice of 3 limes, plus wedges for serving
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. skin-on, bone-in chicken
  • 1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
  • Cooked white rice, for serving
  • Sliced scallions, for topping

Directions

  1. Make the peanut sauce: Whisk the honey, peanut butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire, cayenne, garlic, lime juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Remove 1/2 cup of the sauce and set aside in a small bowl for serving.

  2. Add the chicken to the large bowl with the remaining sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

  3. Preheat the oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the pan. Bake until the skin is crisp and the large pieces are cooked through, about 45 minutes.

  4. When the chicken is about halfway done, toss the broccoli with the remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil, the remaining 1 tsp salt and black pepper on a separate baking sheet. Bake until the broccoli is tender and golden brown in spots, about 25 minutes. Serve the chicken with the broccoli and rice. Sprinkle with scallions and serve with lime wedges and the reserved peanut sauce.
