Original Recipe HERE
I was really skeptical about this recipe - how could coconut, garlic, and vinegar come together and yield anything but nastiness? But the original poster promised it was good, so I was game to try.
The taste was interesting but better than expected. Everyone in the family liked the sauce; kids asked for several helpings of it over the rice. I should've cooked and shredded the chicken ahead of time and just added it to the sauce as it thickened up; leaving it in pieces meant the kids could easily pick them out.
I will cut the vinegar amount by half next time (original amounts of everything are listed below). Also, I'd probably add some sliced green onions for garnish and taste. My sauce never thickened, so expect it to look watery. Precooking and shredding the chicken would make throwing this dish together super quick and give the sauce a bit more substance.
