Chicken Thighs With Satay Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
    For the chicken marinade
    3 tablespoons tamari
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    12 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    8 slices fresh ginger (quarter-size)
    For the Satay Sauce
    1/4 cup chicken broth
    1/2 cup tamari
    1/3 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
    6 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
    6 red pepper pods (crushed to about 2 tsp) or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
    1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Preparation
    For the chicken marinade, combine all ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the chicken, or use a ziploc bag.
    Marinate for at least several hours or overnight.
    Cook as desired, bake or grill until done.
    Usually about 1/2 hour at 350 degrees. The marinade and sauce make enough for 4 lbs of chicken parts. If you are baking this much chicken, you will need to adjust the cooking time. I (TCookie) usually am only cooking\r\nabout 2 lbs.
    (I don't cook mine in the microwave. Sorry, Barbara).
    For the Satay, combine broth, soy, sugar, five-spice powder, garlic and pepper in a 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup.
    Cover tightly with plastic wrap and cook at full power for 3 minutes.
    Remove from oven.
    Pierce plastic and let cool for 5 minutes.
    Uncover and whisk in the peanut butter and lime juice.
    Serve with cooked, marinated chicken.
