Peanut chicken over rice image

This is a delicious recipe, closest type of cuisine I can classify it as is Thai. Regardless, it's a great recipe, of course you have to really like peanuts. It is also good with tofu instead of chicken, just cube the tofu, and add to the peanut sauce directly. Enjoy!

Not a fan. The peanut sauce was too sweet for my taste, and the chicken was a bit dry. The rice was cooked properly, but that was about the only positive thing I can say about this dish.

Okay, but not amazing. The peanut sauce was a bit bland and lacked flavor, and the chicken was a bit tough. The rice was cooked properly, but that was about the only positive thing I can say about this dish.

Not bad. The peanut sauce was a bit too thick and gloopy for my taste, and the chicken was a bit dry. However, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the overall dish was still enjoyable.

Meh. The dish was okay, but nothing special. The peanut sauce was bland and lacked flavor, and the chicken was a bit tough. The rice was cooked properly, but that was about the only positive thing I can say about this dish.

Good, but not great. The peanut sauce was a bit one-dimensional, and the chicken was a bit dry. However, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the overall dish was still enjoyable.

Great recipe, but needs a bit more heat. I love spicy food, so I added a teaspoon of chili powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. It gave it a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors.

Not a fan of the sauce. The peanut sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and it didn't have enough of a savory or spicy element to balance it out. The chicken and rice were good, but the sauce was a letdown.

I've tried many peanut chicken recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The addition of honey and rice vinegar gives the sauce a unique and addictive flavor. Will definitely be making this again and again!
