Pink Adobe Peanut Chicken

Submitted by EdsGirlAngie

"This peanut sauce from The Pink Adobe is delicious, unusual and quick. Flavored with molasses, mustard and beer, it was originally created for chicken wings, but I use chicken strips instead, and I like to add more chili powder than the recipe calls for. Prep time is the time cooking the sauce; cook time is the actual cooking time."

MMhmm! Unusual, and so easy to put together, I really enjoyed this. It was just a little on the sweet side for me, I would up the chilli/red pepper flakes another time, but DH really enjoyed the sweetness. Beautifully creamy sauce -- I didnt really pick up the lemon, so maybe I would need to up that a bit too. The chicken was beautifully tender. I served this with noodles, I think I might have preferred rice, next time!!! Very nice dish, Thank you! made for Food Friends And Fun, Think Pink 2014
