Grilled Chicken with Sweet and Savory Peanut Sauce

  • Thread chicken thighs onto wooden skewers. Brush chicken evenly with sesame oil and sprinkle with black pepper. Cook over high heat on a grill pan or grill for 5 minutes on each side or until done. Divide chicken thighs among 4 plates; drizzle each with 3 tablespoons of the peanut sauce.
