Add the chicken and toss in the marinade to coat. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours. Heat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Lightly grease the grates using a paper towel dipped in oil. Alternatively, heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high. While the grill heats, halve and pit the nectarines. If the pits won’t come out easily, quarter the nectarines, pop off the wedges and cut out the pit. Toss the nectarines and scallions with just enough oil to lightly coat. Place the nectarines cut sides down on one side of the grill and char the cut sides, turning if needed, about 5 minutes. On the other side of the grill, arrange the scallions and grill until charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move them all to a medium bowl. Work in batches if needed. Sprinkle the nectarines and scallions lightly with salt, then sprinkle with the sugar and remaining tablespoon vinegar. Lay the chicken thighs on the grate skin side down, cover and cook until lightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip, cover and cook the other side until the chicken is cooked through and any juices run clear when poked with the tip of a small knife, about 15 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a sheet pan or platter. Sprinkle the cooked chicken on both sides with suya spice and move to serving plates. Cut the nectarines and scallions into 1/2" pieces. Toss with the cilantro and chopped peanuts. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and vinegar if necessary. Serve the nectarines alongside the grilled chicken with additional suya spice for dipping. TIP: To make about 1/4 cup suya spice blend, in a spice grinder, combine 1/4 cup toasted peanuts, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon fine sea salt. Pulse to blend into a fine powder. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
