I knew we would love this recipe even before I made it. If it's Asian with peanut butter and spice, you've got our vote. I followed the recipe with the exception of using regular sugar, about 2 tablespoons, and I used about a teaspoon of red pepper flakes instead of just a sprinkling. It was SPICY and wonderful! The chicken came out crunchy and the French fried onions gave the coating a great flavor intensity. At first I thought I should make more sauce because we like things pretty saucy, but what there was was so tasty it worked out perfectly. Thanks for a great recipe!
