6 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped with some stems 1/4 cup canola oil 4 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped 2 Tbsp. soy sauce |
2 tsp. brown sugar 1 small jalapeno, seeded 1 medium lime, juiced salt and pepper 3 pounds chicken thighs |
Here's how to make it:
In a blender or food processor, combine nuts, 2 tablespoons cilantro, oil, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, jalapeno, lime juice and 2 tablespoons water. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. Smear on enough cashew mixture to thoroughly coat pieces. Let marinate at room temperature while you heat grill or broiler. Or refrigerate for up to 12 hours before cooking.
Preheat broiler or grill. Grill or broil chicken, turning frequently, until it is crisp and golden on outside and completely cooked inside, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Sprinkle chicken with remaining cilantro and serve with lime wedges and remaining cashew mixture.
