What can I say except a truly flavorsome recipe. Used full chili strength but had to use dried lemon grass, cut back on the peanut butter and used ginger . I sliced the chicken while it was 3/4 frozen so I got lovely thin even slices (makes it look great). Used Denzil's hot sauce. MMmmmm will make it again & again Thanks SueL
