Peanut Ginger Chicken with California Salsa submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
One of our favorite summer BBQ dishes! The marinade looks ugly but the flavor is fantastic. We often make a double batch of the salsa.

Directions
In a mixing bowl, gradually stir hot water into peanut butter until mixed. Stir in the chili sauce, soy sauce, the 2 T. oil, 2 T. vinegar, garlic, ginger root and red pepper. Place chicken in a sealable plastic bag and pour marinade over chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat all parts of the chicken. Chill for 12-24 hours, turning the bag occasionally to coat the chicken.
For Salsa, in a medium bowl combine chopped fruit, cucumber, green onion, cilantro, sugar, oil and vinegar. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place chicken onto a medium heated grill and grill for 35-45 minutes or till no pink remains. Serve chicken garnished with salsa spooned over the top and pass the remaining salsa.
