Author Notes

I wanted to make a low-carb, low-sodium, nut-free and gluten-fee version of Thai Chicken.

This is (frankly) terrific. You’re welcome.

The "soy sauce substitute" is inspired by http://www.cookinggodsway.com/soy-sauce-substitute/

And the traditional Thai Peanut Chicken recipe I modified was from https://www.allrecipes... —Brian Coppola
