Roasted Chicken with Peanut Sauce
Chicken Skewers serves with peanut butter satay sauce is probably one of my most favourite treats at Thai restaurants. I’m kind of drooling just thinking about it. So I thought, why not roast a whole chicken and serve it up with some homemade peanut butter sauce? Why not indeed.
Whole Chickens are usually pretty inexpensive compared to their butchered counterparts so this makes for a pretty thrifty family meal. You can feed your whole family of 4 for two nights in a row for the cost of a single plate at a thai restaurant. I’d say that is a win!
