Thai Honey Peanut Chicken

this recipe came from Tasty Kitchen. I marinated the chicken all day- it was definitely dark. The soy sauce is strong in it as is the peanut butter. I'd do a little less. I also doubled the sauce recipe and it was plenty thick. I served cilantro over top, with rice, broccoli and corn. I loved it!
Shane- didn't like the smell (ha!) but said it tasted very good. :)

I used regular jif peanut butter, skipped the sesame seeds (ours were OLD- yuck) and added cilantro at the end.
