First thing to do is get your chicken spiced up and marinating. Add you chicken parts, I prefer thighs, a drizzle of oil, curry power and a generous pinch of salt to a bag and mix around till everything is fully coated. Set aside while you get your peanut sauce together and your rice cooking.

Add the rice, water, coconut milk and salt to a small pot and cook like you would any regular pot of rice. Bring to a boil, turn the heat to low and simmer covered for 15-20 mins.

Now, for the best part, the peanut sauce! Add all your sauce ingredients to a bowl or blender. I recommend the blender since it makes things much, much easier. Mix all together until smooth. Test for seasoning and adjust as needed, add more spice if you like, more acid, more salt. Make sure it tastes good.

Now you can get you chicken cooking, I used a grill pan here, whatever you do you want to make sure you get some good color on your chicken, and that means high heat. Grilling outdoors is a great option, it’s too cold here for that, so I stuck with a grill pan indoors but you can just as easily use a cast iron pan, or your oven’s broiler. Use whatever you like just make sure to get it slightly charred.

Once everything is all cooked you can go ahead and plate it up. A few spoonfuls of rice, a nice bit of your chicken and then be generous with the sauce. Sauce on everything. Sprinkle some toasted peanuts and cilantro on top and serve with some lime wedges. Eat up!
