# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, cumin, and chili powder if using, until smooth and homogenous.
02 -
Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours to develop flavor.
03 -
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat to ensure proper searing.
04 -
Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off; discard leftover marinade. Grill the thighs for 6 to 7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 75°C and chicken is charred.
05 -
Transfer chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges alongside preferred peanut sauce.

Marinating chicken for longer enhances flavor intensity and tenderness.
