Spicy, Saucy Chicken

Submitted by franja

"Sauce can be used as a chutney, marinade or dip. Quantities can be varied to suit your own taste. I MUST HAVE MADE A TYPO IN THIS because I've lost the original and used this one - and the vinegar hit is way too much. I'm looking everywhere for my original and will correct this when I find it. In the meantime if you decide to make the Chicken dish, I recommend you approach the vinegar bottle with caution! Sauce can still be made and stored as the vinegar 'hit' diminishes with storage. After 3 weeks storage you have a very spicy chutney, great with cheese and at the optimum level for making the chicken dish...sorry about the typo...I will try harder in future!"
