Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until chicken juices run clear, stirring frequently., Serve with rice; sprinkle with green onions if desired.

ONE-POT GINGERY CHICKEN AND RICE WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Chicken and rice:
• Pat chicken dry and season all over with salt. Arrange, skin side down, in a cold, dry medium Dutch oven and set over medium heat. Cook, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown and crisp and easily releases from pot, 8-10 minutes. Slide thighs around to different spots (this will ensure even browning) and continue to cook until deeply browned, 3-5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a plate. Let pot cool 2 minutes.
• Set pot over medium-low heat; add shallots, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until very fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in rice and star anise and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, ¾ tsp. salt, and 3 cups water. Nestle chicken back into rice mixture in pot, arranging skin side up. Increase heat to medium and bring liquid to a simmer. Immediately cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let chicken and rice sit 10 minutes.
• Sauce and assembly:
• While the chicken and rice are cooking, make the sauce. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, ginger, honey, and ¼ cup warm water in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. If sauce still looks a little thick, continuing adding water until it reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
• Remove lid from pot and fluff rice with a fork. Pluck out and discard star anise. Serve chicken and rice with peanut sauce, cucumber, and cilantro alongside.
• Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

LIME-GINGER CHICKEN KABOBS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and sprinkle with salt.
• Stir mayonnaise, lime zest, ginger, salt, and pepper for the marinade in a bowl until smooth. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag, add marinade, seal, and massage the bag until all the chicken pieces are coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
• Soak 6-inch wooden skewers in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
• Whisk peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and sambal oelek together in a bowl. Slowly whisk in small amounts of warm water until dipping sauce reaches the desired consistency; set aside.
• Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and thread chicken onto the skewers; discard marinade.
• Place skewers on the hot grill and cook until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, lowering the heat if chicken is browning too fast. Turn skewers as often as necessary for even browning, and to keep the chicken from burning.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges and peanut sauce for dipping.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is golden on the outside, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, and add green onion, broccoli, peanuts, and the peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender, and chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice.

PEANUT (OR PEANUT BUTTER) GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, prepare the peanut butter sauce. Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 2 Tbs. olive oil together and stir until you form a smooth paste.
• Dice garlic and ginger as fine as you can get them, I use a grater with small holes and grate my garlic so that there are no large chunks for those that don't care to bite into a large piece of garlic.
• Cube your chicken into small bite sized pieces or cut into small strips if you prefer.
• In a pan, heat up some olive oil (I usually use about 2 Tbs.) add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds depending on how hot you got the olive oil. Then add the chicken, season to your taste with salt and pepper, and cook until completely cooked through.
• Add the sauce mixture and stir to coat all of the chicken. Reduce heat to a medium low and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes stirring frequently. If the sauce starts to become too think or clumps together add small amounts of water and stir to keep a nice consistency. The sauce should coat the chicken without being soupy.
• Remove the pan from heat and serve the chicken over rice. Garnish with parsley or sesame seeds if you wish.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
• Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
• In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.
