Spicy Molasses Chicken

Spicy Molasses Chicken Do you love spicy food? I sure do, so this Spicy Molasses Chicken is right up my alley. It is VERY simple to make, and it is pretty darn hot as written. If you want to reduce the heat, remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers before slicing them, or leave out the jalapenos completely and enjoy it that way. Serve with a cold beer or glass of iced tea at the ready,!

    • Thank you, Teresa! I didn’t write about putting the peppers on top since I mostly did it for looks (the chicken was plenty spicy on its own). Maybe I’ll write in that I sauteed them with the chicken and put them on top for serving. Definitely made for a nice presentation :)

    • I think I started liking my food spicier with each pregnancy. If we have a third kid, it’s going to get ridiculous ;) Nice to hear from you, Gloria! xo
