Here\u2019s a marvelous make-ahead recipe! I cut up fresh chicken, put it in a bag with the remaining slow-cooker ingredients and freeze it. To cook, just remove the bag a day ahead to thaw in the fridge, then pour all the contents into the slow cooker. \u2014Sarah Newman, Mahtomedi,

Having been born and raised in Indonesia and lived there most of my adult life, I can assure you this is not an Indonesian recipe. While they do often put a peanut sauce (which is nothing like the one here) on chicken satay as well as a vegetable salad type dish called \"gado-gado\", this recipe is nothing like either of those. I wish you would just call it peanut chicken or something and leave off the \"Indonesian\". There isn't an Indonesian on the planet that would say this was a dish from their country. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-06-25","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Callie067"},"reviewBody":"Not a fan of this recipe.
