TIPS
- In Australia, very handy to find Basil in every traditional or modern supermarket. Eating that together with Jalepeno sauce created sensational flavour (sour, spicy, sweet) into one! DELICIOUS!
- The longer marinated process, more tasty the chicken. You can put them in the fridge for hours or a day before you cook it.
- I suggest to use fresh garlic and onion besides powder. EVERYTHING FRESH is tastier and healthier.
- Please double all ingredients when you have more people.
