Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Ingredients
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
3 lbs Chicken - Thigh, Bone In, Skin On
To Taste Seasoning - Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
4 Cloves Garlic, Chopped
2 Teaspoons Sugar - Brown
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
To Taste Seasoning - Kosher Salt
2 Jalapenos, Stemmed, Seeded and Chopped
6 Tablespoons Cilantro, Chopped
1 Cup Cashews, Roasted
Cooking Directions
1 In a food processor or blender, add the cashews, cilantro, oil, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, jalapeno, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of water. Pulse or blend until the mixture is a smooth paste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reserve a third of the marinade for serving with the chicken. Use the rest for coating the chicken.
2 Sprinkle the chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. At this point if you want, you can make ahead, and chill for several hours or overnight until ready to cook. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
3 Preheat broiler or prepare grill for medium direct heat. Broil or grill chicken, turning frequently, until golden and crisp and a meat thermometer reads 170 F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (not touching a bone), or when the juices run clear (not pink) when cut into with a knife. This will take about 25 to 35 minutes for a grill on medium heat, or about 10-20 minutes under a broiler, depending on how far the chicken is from the heat. Serve with lime wedges, reserved marinade, and cilantro.
