TV Dinner: Cooking Thai

WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - These are recipes that use a lot of ingredients, but you’re likely to have most of them in your pantry.

Chef Chris Manning prepares Thai spice-rubbed chicken with a peanut butter dipping sauce.

Both the rub and the dipping sauce are very versatile and can be used, for example, to make a Thai pasta salad.
