This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The peanut sauce was too thick and the chicken was a bit dry.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. Next time I'll add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
