7 Questions:
8
9 1) does the sauce break if entirely baked in the oven as opposed to cooked over the stove? No
10
11 2) do the spices really need to be toasted/fried in fat first, the sauce assembled and cooked, and the grilled protein added in later? Apparently not
12
13 3) how thin/thick does the sauce get, as the rendered chicken fat plus juices will thin it? It stays thick because of the almond meal
14
15 4) whole thighs, or cubed? Is it better for flavor/juiciness to cook whole and cut up after cooking? Cubed worked great
16
17
18 Tripled the protein, doubled the sauce from the “original” modified recipe, and omitted the cashews. The marinade and sauce ingredients are now combined.
