Alexander Cortez
I loved making this dish and my family enjoyed it as well
Anthony Martinez MD
I really liked the sauce although i had to thin it out also, like the other reviewers. The allspice on the chicken was horrific though. It was grainy and odd tasting. I might just marinate the chicken in a little soy sauce and call it a day next time.
Nicole Weaver
This was delicious! My family couldn’t get enough. The chicken was very good. I noticed that the peanut sauce turned out a bit thick, but I used more chicken broth to thin it down a bit. Sunny, my family thanks you.!

I had the same problem with the peanut sauce and fixed it perfect! At 7:30pm on a school night with hungry kids, I didn’t have time to start over and knew they wouldn’t eat the super thick unattractive sauce either. I put the sauce in the food processor and poured in very hot water while pulsing the processor. It came out so good and my kids LOVED it!
Kimberly Dennis
Exactly what I was looking for!
Daniel Miller
sauce turned out too thick and adjusting didnt help either. it wasnt as good as i thought it was going to be…
Jessica Jackson
Very good. The peanut sauce was a little hard to nail though. I kept adjusting it, until it got a little too runny and I thickened it; bad idea, it turned out way too rich, should have left it alone and not fussed so much over it, my fault.

I didnt think i was going to like it as much as did after it was cooked. It was very thick but VERY easy. I added a bit more lime and water but it was still very thick!

I MAY make this again but will probably try some others even if they require a bit more effort and ingredients.
Nathan Mendez
Yummy and easy! I added some more liquid because I thought it was to thick but other than that it was good. I also left out the spicy ingredients because I have kids…they gobbled it up!
Benjamin Williamson
Delicious! And very easy too! I used trader joes peanut butter, the one with the natural oils that settle on top, I think a more natural peanut butter is best for this recipe since it has its oils so it won’t dry out. I followed the directions and the peanut sauce was perfect consistency for dipping
