Notes about this recipe

    Chicken marinates 4-24 hours. Can substitute vegetable oil for peanut oil.

    This was just ok. I felt that the cumin was overpowering. I plan on making this again, and will cut the cumin in half. The peanut sauce and coconut rice were both delicious.

    Fantastic chicken marinade, tasted gorgeous. Didn’t have coconut rice as bf isn’t a fan- and had premade peanut sauce as couldn’t find tamarind. Stunning meal, would eat again.

    Really tasty. Not too spicy, marinate overnight for best flavour.

    love the marinade, super tasty and thighs v tender. Had with coconut rice and peanut sauce; both delicious - I would put a little less tamarind in the peanut sauce next time as felt a little out of balance - perhaps my tamarind was quite concentrated. still loved it though and makes a huge amount of rice and sauce!

    Made this for my meal prep and paired with peanut sauce and coconut rice. It was a great meal this week!

    Loved this marinade, will definitely make again.

    Loved the spiced bone in chicken thighs. Spices were mellow and chicken tender. We loved peanut butter sauce on the thighs but I didn't make the recipe in the book. Choose a less complicated one. Will be repeated.
