Wow! Thanks for all the great ideas! It's going to be tough to choose.
Incidentally, I will either marinate or at least brush the chicken
with something, because I want it to really pop with flavor. Kind of
like how Chicken Satay is definitely flavored, but then you get
dipping sauces for that as well, that are quite differently spiced
than the chicken being dipped. But as I said, I'm not looking to do
peanuty-Thai style (I don't like to make what I can find in excellent
local restaurants) I might make two sauces... I'm loving the idea of
using a plum sauce base and then maybe a molasses-y sweet spicy
option. We'll see how much time I have. But just seeing the
ingredients helps the imagination get going, which is awesome. Thanks
again to all!
