Spicy Barbecue Baked Chicken

Pre-heat the oven to 200c

Wash and dry the chicken pieces. If not marinating place in one layer in a roasting tin and sprinkle liberally with chilli flakes and paprika.

If marinating, place chicken pieces in a bowl and set aside.

To make the sauce/marinade. Finely chop the onion, garlic and chilli and mix with the all the other ingredients except the water. Gradually add the water until the sauce has the consistency of a thick batter. Alternatively put all the ingredients except the water into a blender and blend to the appropriate consistency by adding the water gradually.

If marinating, pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and set aside for two or three hours. When ready to cook, remove chicken from sauce and place in roasting tin as in Step 2. Retain the sauce.

Put roasting tin on a high shelf in pre-heated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and turn chicken pieces over and return to oven for a further 10 minutes. Remove from oven and drain any excess fat/juices. Pour over sauce and return to oven for a further 30 minutes.

Serve with white rice or pasta and salad
