SPICY, GARLICKY CASHEW CHICKEN



Spicy, Garlicky Cashew Chicken image

A savory, fast weeknight meal, these drumsticks will roll off the broiler pan or grill juicy and burnished, and the cashew sauce is even more marvelous than most peanut satays. It has a salty, buttery richness that tames the heat from the chili, and a touch of sweetness from a dash of brown sugar.
