For Salty-Sweet Chicken, arrange par-boiled chicken on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet and place in upper third of oven. Turn broiler on high and broil until skin is crispy all over, 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Toss chicken in sauce, garnish with scallions and chopped spicy peanuts.
