Author's Notes

If you marinate the chicken overnight, make sure to leave the chicken at room temperature before cooking.

Use a little bit of dark soy sauce for the color of the peanut sauce.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add Sprite (1 can), Soy Sauce (1/2 cup), Garlic (6 cloves), and Ground Black Pepper (as needed). Mix until well combined. Then add Boneless, Skin-On Chicken Thighs (2 lb) and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 30 minutes or even better overnight in the fridge.
step 2
In a saucepan, add Crunchy Peanut Butter (1/3 cup), Soy Sauce (1/2 cup), Water (4 Tbsp), and Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp). Turn the heat to medium and cook the sauce for about 5 minutes until thickened but still runny. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking at the bottom. Once the sauce is done, set it aside.
step 3
Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, once hot, place on the chicken skin side down. Grill for 5-8 minutes on each side. Repeat with the other batches if needed.
step 4
Serve the chicken with peanut sauce, White Rice (to taste), and Pickled Red Onions (to taste). Optionally, garnish with Scallions (to taste).
