Incredible Homemade Peanut Sauce
There are thousands of fantastic chicken recipes out there, but the one thing that sets a few apart, putting them in the category of “best recipes of all time”, is the sauce. A truly amazing chicken recipe needs to have an unbelievable sauce. The only way to get such a sauce is to make if yourself! But don’t worry, we can help you with that!
We have created the most mouth-watering peanut sauce around. Of course, it is also low carb which means you can enjoy it guilt-free, sticking to your diet with every bite. The base of this tasty sauce is peanut butter. Now, when you pick out a peanut butter at the store, you need to be extra careful to purchase one that is just made with peanuts, no extra sugars added, no corn syrup, just peanuts. Luckily, there are many pure peanut-peanut butters on the market so this shouldn’t be a difficult search!
Added to that pure peanut butter is ginger and garlic, two powerful spices that pack a serious punch. Be sure to use fresh ginger and fresh garlic in order to get the most flavor possible. When fresh, ginger, and garlic both have a spicy tang that is what truly sets this sauce apart from any store-bought version.
Rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, and lime juice are the remaining flavor enhancers that we should definitely talk about. Rice wine vinegar adds a subtle taste of wine while giving it that salad dressing bite. Fish sauce adds a whole new level of flavor. Fish sauce is savory and has an earthy, umami taste. It does have a slight hint of fishiness but is mainly salty, briny and slightly caramelly. Even that one tablespoon of fish sauce will take the sauce to the next level.
Finally, we balance off the flavors in the sauce with a little sweetness in the form of our granular erythritol. This no-carb sweetener will give the sauce an irresistible sweetness that compliments all the ingredients we put together, bringing them into harmony.
Once all these powerful ingredients are mixed together, you will have a smooth, creamy bowl of peanut sauce unlike any you have ever tried before. Pouring this over your grilled chicken will be a game-changer, giving you a sweet and savory dinner (or lunch!) that you will crave. Sounds pretty amazing, right? Well, it is! So grab all those pungent fresh spices, pick out the creamiest pure peanut butter you can find, and don’t forget the erythritol!
