Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Legs
Let’s be honest, chicken can get boring particularly if you’re in that meal prep life, so keeping your recipes versatile is so important to make sure you’re enjoying your meals and left feeling satisfied. I love this simple chicken recipe, I make a tray as prep served with stir fried greens, rice or cold tossed in a salad. When shredded off the bone its also a really delicious snack (if you’re into that kind of savoury snacking). If you’re not a fan of peanut butter you can switch this up for cashew, almond and even sunflower seed butter!
