How to Make Honey Peanut Chicken Marinade

  1. Combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) in a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1 minute.
  3. Place your chicken (about 1.5 lbs) in a shallow glass dish or heavy-duty plastic bag.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are fully coated.
  5. Cover the dish or seal the bag tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours for maximum flavor.
  6. Remove chicken from marinade and cook according to your preferred method (grill, bake, or pan-fry) for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
