Loved this chicken! Made as directed but did not garnish with the cilantro. The lime was a great touch, perfect with the other flavors. This recipe produced delicious, moist and flavorful chicken - thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was WELL ENJOYED by all of us. This was one great marinade too. Love the coconut milk too. Made recipe as posted without any changes. Granted it was a little chilly out, it was worth it. Great tasting chicken and plan to repeat again. The flavor is worth trying this recipe Made for PRMR tag.

These are really good! They are very easy to prepare and are fun to cook over the BBQ on a hot summer's night. The recipe doesn't require any necessary changes, but I made two little changes to suite my family's taste. I always cook with garlic (if I can), so I added two cloves of fresh garlic and, to heat it up a little more for my husband, I added 1/4 tsp. of crushed red chili peppers to his portion of the peanut sauce. Made for the spring 2008 Camera-less Chef event. Thanks for a great recipe, Sydney Mike, we will make this recipe often!
