"This recipe was born from the desire to develop a time-friendly, easy-on-the-budget entree loaded with savory Asian flavor. It’s a family favorite and also a favorite at the girls’ camp where I am the head cook. I usually serve it with rice prepared with coconut milk." Debbie Fleenor — Monterey, Tennessee

We really liked this recipe, something different with familiar ingredients. It reminds me of a chicken satay recipe I've made in the past, but easier. I doubled the chicken amount with legs and there was enough marinade for the whole family pack without any adjustments. I doubled the sauce and it came out deeply marinated and delicious. I made coconut rice using half coconut milk and half water, added a little salt and ended up with a mild coconut flavored rice. Not bad for a weeknight, I'll be making this one again.

I doubled the entire recipe and marinated the chicken for over 24 hours. Cooked on the grill, basting with peanut butter sauce. Very good. Love the ginger & curry! Will be making again this summer.

Very good recipe because it's tasty and easy. It was way too much ginger for my personal preference. Next time I will reduce that ingredient by half! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

The ginger was so overpowering gave everyone an upset stomach. Will not make this again. No where near chinese.

Family all loved it. I doubled the peanut sauce. My chicken took about 35 minutes to cook. I marinated it 30 minutes, will marinate longer next time.

"When preparing rice w/ coconut milk do you sub that for the broth or water in equal parts?" You can go either way, but be darned light on the water. It just very light on any water inclusion. Best to just 'do it' as the recpt says and alter from there. I call it a 'base line,' play from there.
