Peanut butter is the best thing ever, it goes well with such a variety of different things. I love apple slices with a peanut butter and will often save my calories, just so I can have it.

I have tried the peanut butter powder stuff and it's just not the same for me. It is okay in baking etc if you want a peanut flavour, but it just doesn't replace the real stuff.

So when creating this recipe, it just had to be 100% natural, not the stuff piled with sugar and unnecessary oils, you find in some. Peanut butter should be just peanuts and nothing else.

Also a note to add, if you have been buying the reduced fat stuff, it actually is the same calories as the normal stuff, so you may as well go for the best.

Great served with my Egg Fried Rice which you can also substitute with cauliflower for a lower carb meal.

For the veg side dish to go with these Chicken Drumsticks in a Peanut Sauce, I like to stir fry some sugar snap peas, they are so good stir fried, slightly crunchy but sweet. Hell I like those things straight from the bag too as an evening snack.

My kids also love these Chicken Drumsticks in a Peanut Sauce, and sometimes I will even double or triple up the recipe, just to make more so I have plenty of leftovers for the next day and if you do not like chicken drumsticks, you can also make this with chicken pieces.

If you are paleo or doing a whole30, then swap out the peanut butter for almond butter and this is equally as delicious!
