Sticky Thai Orange Peanut Chicken

This is a surprisingly easy recipe to make. The orange and peanut butter blend together beautifully to create a wonderful flavour that is not overpowering and you will be happy to have again and again. If you would like to ‘spice’ it up a little then add some ground chilli into the sauce. Otherwise it bursts with flavour as is – it’s really your choice.
