Recipe Card

1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons salt flakes
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, room temperature
1 handful of chopped Asian herbs (Thai basil, Vietnamese mint or coriander in any combination)

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly oil a baking tray.
Step 2
Using a food processor, stand mixer or stick blender, blitz the peanuts until they become a fine meal. Add the hoisin sauce, vinegar, salt and a little warm water, if needed to loosen. Tip into a large mixing bowl, add the chicken pieces and rub them all over with the paste.
Step 3
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the paste is all dark and bubbling. You can always give them a quick blast under the grill at the end to create those dark bits.
Step 4
Scatter the fresh herbs onto the chicken and serve with sautéed Asian greens or a crunchy Asian salad.
