Thai Peanut Sauce

In my mind, you can’t have chicken satay without peanut sauce. This sauce is delicious and super easy to make. It isn’t just good with chicken satay, but just about any chicken! I will say that after you mix all the ingredients in the pot on the stove, take it off the heat and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. It will thicken a bit and be a better consistency for dipping. If you feel like it is too runny at first, don’t fear, it will thicken – I promise!
