Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons water
• 4 bone-in chicken thighs
• 6 tablespoons powdered peanut butter (such as PB2®)
• 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Season chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Mix peanut butter powder and water together in a large bowl until fully incorporated. Stir in hot honey, soy sauce, and garlic powder; mix until well combined. Add chicken thighs and turn in marinade, making sure both sides are well coated. Cover bowl and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

Step 4

Transfer chicken thighs to an oven-proof dish.
