This is a dish you will probably need to play around with as everyone has different tastes for peanut chicken, I suggest you start with the ingredient amounts stated in this recipe and mabey adjust slightly to taste, you will know after you make this dish a few times how you prefer it. You also might want to add in a tablespoon or two of fresh cilantro. Adjust the cayenne to desired heat level that you like. I would suggest to prepare the peanut sauce before you start cooking the chicken thighs.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
  • Choose the right type of peanut butter: For the best flavor, use a creamy, unsweetened peanut butter. Avoid using natural peanut butter, as it can be too oily and runny.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and rice without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to thicken it.
  • Serve the dish hot: Peanut chicken is best served hot, so make sure to serve it immediately after it is cooked.
