  1. Do you think this would be a good wing/drumette marinade/sauce? Looking for finger food for a bbq...

  1. Really good! Will say what some others said. I made it exactly according to the recipe and it ended up being very, very thick. The recipe said to "pour it over the chicken". This was not possible..way too thick. So I started adding some chicken stock a little at a time until it was thin enough to pour. I think I ended up adding about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of stock. But then I used it according to the recipe and it was very good!
     
  2. Very tasty! Followed the recipe as is, but I had to cook on the indoor grill instead of the bbq. Sliced the leftovers and wrapped them up in lettuce leaves for a lite lunch for the office. Everyone loved them and I had to pass out the recipe. Will definitely be making again. Thank you!
     
  3. I had plans to grill this as directed but my apartment's grills were out of propane, so I was forced to improvise. I'm not a very good improviser but I gave it my best. I preheated my oven to 450 and went ahead and put my cast iron skillet with some olive oil in the oven to get hot. I cooked the chicken for 20 minutes total, 10 minutes per side. I was afraid it would burn but it didn't at all. I think it turned out beautifully, but with summer coming along I'll grill it next time. My boyfriend and I ate it with extra soy sauce on top, with corn and sauteed zucchini. He said I should add it to my regular rotation of meals/list of best recipes! I agree. I love peanutty and Asian flavors together. I tasted the marinade by itself and thought it was reeallly tasty. I would adjust just one thing. I scraped some of the larger globs of marinade off the chicken fearing it would taste too peanut buttery, but next time I will absolutely leave a paste of the marinade on the chicken when cooking. I could still taste the peanut butter, but I wanted to taste more of it.

  4. Forgot to post my review... So sorry! I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe - I was scared the taste of peanut butter would overpower the other ingredients, but it did not!! The chicken was moist and quite tasty! Thanks Parsley!
     
  5. This was absolutely delicious. Both my husband and I, who never agree on anything, think this was super good. Easy to make. Was surprised at how thick the marinate was, but it worked fine. I just threw it all in a baggie and mixed it up like the recipe said and it was fine.
