I had to do this a bit different as Buddha ate the last of the peanuts.... Grrrr (just when I needed them)! I had to use peanut butter for the roasted peanuts, and spread the rub over some cut up bs chicken breasts which I saute'ed 'in' the beer. All this made a wonderful sauce as well as a rub. :) This dish has wonderful flavor and definitely a Caribbean flair with just the right amount of kick. Thanks for posting.
