Peanut butter chicken

[Mobsta]

Anyone else like the idea of fried chicken pieces, stewed into a nice creamy peanut butter sauce? I don't seem to recall having ever seen or heard mention of his dish, served with mash, outside of my mothers kitchen.

You mean a satay sauce?

Basically yes. heaps of sauce which acts as (non-optional) gravy would in a bangers and mash dish, peanut butter flavoured, creamy and obviously orange ish in colour.

My wife does a peanut sauce or soup as it is known in Afro-Carribean circles. Very yummy, can have potatoes in it for a complete meal. Also can be beef or pork as well as chicken & freezes well.
I have a recipe somewhere I'll turn out.

Thanks. A quick look on google and all the recipes seem to be spicy, or contain curry or coconut... I was hoping to cook up the basic version but until I find my mothers recipe, wasn't sure how to go about starting the sauce.

Excellent, nice and simple and not too spicey. Thickened without peppers... Definitely going to try this
