Penisula wiring

[Fordean]

Have a 8 foot penisula with sink in middle and counter space on both sides. Does code let you still install receptacles in sides (cut in) with overhang under 4 inches and not more the 6 inches down. Or is it now illegal to put in sides. Because of the pulling appliance down and getting scolded?

Barring any local amendments, you should be ok.
See 210.52(C)(2)(3). Maybe others.
