Thai Peanut Grilled Chicken

Thai Peanut Grilled Chicken 2

I’ve been in love with Thai peanut sauce ever since my first taste. It usually contains added sugar, but I’ve found the flavor to be just as good without it. Instead of using it as a sauce to pour over the chicken, I use it as a marinade. It was just as delicious as I’d hoped.

You mentioned somewhere that if you had to choose one cuisine to eat for the rest of your life that it would be Thai food. I have to agree! Thank you for coming up with this keto version. I can hardly wait!
