Creating the amazing Thai Peanut Chicken is a breeze with these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs or breasts and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a Bowl: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
3. Layer in Crockpot: Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the crockpot. Pour the peanut sauce mixture over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated.
4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
5. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, allowing it to absorb more of the sauce.
6. Serve: Serve the Thai Peanut Chicken over a bed of rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.

These simple instructions will guide you to a delightful dish every time you make it.
