Ingredients for the Thai Peanut chicken

  • 3 Chicken thighs
  • 5 tbsp peanut butter (crunchy)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • Water (to loosen up the sauce)
  • 2 sprays of olive oil (1 tbsp)
  • 1 knob of ginger
  • 3 cloves of garlic / 2 tsp garlic granules

Serve with rice

Method

  1. Slice the cucumber into thin slices and place them in a small, airtight container. Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt, seal the container and shake it well. Make sure the container is leakproof! Set aside to let the flavours develop.
  2. In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and soy sauce, stirring briefly. Add a splash of water to loosen the mixture. Stir in the honey, then grate in the ginger and garlic. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Pour one-third of the marinade into a small container and refrigerate for later use. Coat the chicken thighs with the remaining marinade, ensuring they are fully covered. Let them marinate in the fridge for 40 minutes.
  4. After marinating, cook the chicken in an air fryer until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve with rice and pickled cucumber. Drizzle the reserved sauce over the chicken before serving.
