Using Plenty as an Adjective: Usage Guide
Many commentators object to use of sense 2 in writing; it appears to be limited chiefly to spoken English. Sense 1 is literary but is no longer in common use.
Using Plenty as an Adverb: Usage Guide
Many handbooks advise avoiding the adverb plenty in writing; "use very, quite, or a more precise word," they advise. Actually plenty is often a more precise word than its recommended replacements; very, fully, or quite will not work as well in these typical quotations.
it's already plenty hot for us in the kitchen without some dolt opening the oven 
C. H. Bridges
C. H. Bridges may not be rising quite as rapidly as other health costs, but it is going up plenty fast — Changing Times
