Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Supper

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3-4 tbsp chilli sauce , depending on how hot you like it (we used Amoy)
2 tbsp clear honey
2 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless chicken breast fillets , skin on
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 lime , cut into 4 wedges, to serve, optional

Steps:

  • To make the glaze, preheat the grill to high. Mix together the chilli sauce, honey and oil in a large bowl. Using a sharp knife make 3-4 slits across the skin side of each chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper then lift the skin on each breast and tuck under the crushed garlic. Now dip the underside of each chicken breast in the glaze until evenly coated. Reserve the rest of the glaze for later.
  • To cook the chicken, put the chicken on the grill pan, glazed side up, and grill for 8 minutes until golden and sticky. Turn the chicken breasts over, brush with the remaining glaze, then cook for another 6-8 minutes until the chicken is firm and cooked through. Serve straight away with wedges of lime for squeezing over, if liked.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili peppers. For a sweeter chili sauce, use milder chili peppers such as poblano or Anaheim peppers. For a spicier sauce, use hotter chili peppers such as serrano or habanero peppers.
  • Roast the chili peppers before using them. Roasting the chili peppers will help to bring out their flavor and sweetness. You can roast the chili peppers in the oven, on the grill, or in a skillet.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will help to give your chili sauce the best flavor. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and garlic for the best results.
  • Add a little bit of sugar or honey. Sugar or honey will help to balance out the heat of the chili peppers and give your sauce a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Experiment with different flavors. You can add different spices and herbs to your chili sauce to create different flavor profiles. Some popular additions include cumin, coriander, paprika, and oregano.

Conclusion:

Sweet chili sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for dipping, marinating, or glazing. You can also use it as a finishing sauce for grilled meats or fish. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a sweet chili sauce recipe that everyone will enjoy.
