Como fazer African Style Grilled Peanut Butter Chicken

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Gradually add hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency similar to a thick sauce.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the peanut butter marinade for basting.
Place the remaining marinade in a large resealable zip-top bag. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces), seal the bag, and gently squish to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill grates.
Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the reserved peanut butter mixture during the last few minutes of grilling for extra flavor and a nice glaze.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
