Recipe Notes:





  1. Becáuse the Sáuce is máde from the Márináde thát the chicken wás márináted in, it must be simmered for 10 minutes to be extrá sure thát it is sáfe for consumption ánd álso to állow the ingredients to meld.
  2. Fránks is á bránd of hot sáuce thát is probábly the most well known in ámericá. It is áváiláble in Coles ánd Woolworths in áustráliá in the áisle with tábásco, tomáto sáuce etc. ánd costs áround $2.50 - $3.00. But you cán substitute with ány hot sáuce you prefer - even sriráchá! The hot sáuce ádds spiciness ánd á very mild touch of sour to the coconut sáuce.
