July 2, 2013 at 10:08 amThe Xinjiang region’s economy grew by 12 percent in 2012, compared to 2011, but many Uighurs complain that better-paying jobs, land and business opportunities are beyond their grasp. Uighurs account for a little under half of Xinjiang’s 22 million civilian inhabitants; Han Chinese account for 40 percent, according to government data. The Hotan area has about two million inhabitants, nearly 97 percent of them Uighur, according to census data from 2010.

September 20, 2013 at 8:27 pmHey, I noticed your recipe calls for bread crumbs but the directions never mentions them. Are they needed or an option? Or did you forget to type them in? I really want to try this recipe so please let me know where the breadcrumb stand. Thanks!

November 24, 2013 at 7:45 amI noticed the same thing and looking at the picture it looks like maybe we should mix them with the peanuts before dredging the chicken.

April 12, 2017 at 5:09 pmPeanut butter topping:
In glass bowl, wisk together 1c. smooth peanut butter, 1/4c. low-sodium soy sauce, and 1/2c. hot water till smooth. Pour over chicken.
To thin sauce: add more hot water or thicken with peanut butter.
I baked 2 chicken breasts whole for 45 minutes @ 400 degrees. The breasts were about 1# each. Then after breasts were finished cooking, I cut them into 1/2″ – 3/4″ pieces and poured the peanut sauce over them. That’s the way I’ve seen it served at Chen’s Mongolian Grill here in Michigan.

June 28, 2017 at 6:34 amThank you for your peanut butter chicken recipe. The first time I had it I to thought it was a weird combination. But it is absolutely amazing. When I had it, it was very crunchy. Almost like it had ground up peanut brittle ground up also. Very yummy. Of course they would not give out family Secret.
