How to Make Bbq Peanut Butter Chicken

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a blender, combine 1 cup peanut butter, ½ cup BBQ sauce, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Blend until completely smooth. Add up to 1 cup of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Basting with extra marinade during grilling is recommended.
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious BBQ Peanut Butter Chicken with your favorite sides!
