Made this for dinner tonight... and it was.. SO good. I honestly never thought I would be able to replicate this in my own kitchen. Also made coconut rice with it. One ingredient I added.. for some salt was Thai fish sauce... I know.. I know it sounds weird but it actually gave it a really good umph!
Anyway the man of the house loved it.. a lot. He eats anything... so it's always a huge compliment when he says the meal is really tasty. PLUS-- he's not a fan of chicken...so that makes it even better.
Also I used a whole chicken... wings/drumsticks and all. With the bones. I think it adds flavor.
I also picked up some chicken kabobs from a local halal market...I'm going to try to tackle making those another time.
