Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat the oil in a heavy-based flameproof baking pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 mins each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Drain the fat from the pan, reserving 1 tbs.

  2. Step 2

    Heat reserved fat in the pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until soft. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min or until aromatic. Stir in the stock, peanut butter and tomato paste. Season.

  3. Step 3

    Return chicken to the pan, skin-side up. Bake for 30-35 mins or until cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add coconut milk, sweet chilli sauce and coriander to the pan and stir to combine. Return chicken to the pan. Bake for 5-10 mins or until the sauce is heated through. Transfer chicken to a clean plate and brush with extra sweet chilli sauce. Use 2 forks to coarsely shred half the chicken. Transfer to an airtight container with ¼ cup of the peanut sauce. Toss to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Cool completely. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

  5. Step 5

    Season the remaining chicken with pepper and serve.

    Serve with steamed rice, steamed baby broccoli, coriander sprigs and sliced red chilli
