This is my favourite spicy sauce to have with chips and it is hot and addictive. It can be used for chips, which is my preferred way to eat it, or used as a marinade for chicken, which is where it’s name originated from. The best part is it is so quick and easy to make.
Here is my take on it 🙂
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons margarine
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon white pepper powder
- Juice of 1/4 lemon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Method:
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, add the margarine and when it melts, add the garlic, vinegar and salt and stir together.
- Let this simmer for a minute and then add the red chilli powder, Cayenne pepper, white pepper, sugar and lemon juice.
- Remove from the heat and mix well.
This sauce is so versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways.
My favourite ways to use it are drizzled on chips, or baked potatoes or as a bbq marinade for Paneer.

Hi, I’m Binny – a writer, dreamer, serial wanderluster and travel addict. I am originally from Kenya but now live in London. I set up this blog to share my experiences eating out as well as travelling.
I love packing my bags and going off on adventures as one of the best things about travelling is the ability to just get lost in it. To set aside the maps and itineraries and just see where the road takes you, learning and evolving and living in the moment along the way.
It’s my goal to get swept off my feet as often as possible.
This sounds amazing

Yes but margarine tastes nicer. White wine vinegar x
difference between red chili powder and cayene
Author
2 different types of chilli. Cayenne has slightly more flavor than red.
Can’t wait to try this x
Can you use just white vinegar

Yes you can 🙂
I love the poussin sauce. A request for a yeast free mandazi or the instant version, where there is no resting the dough required. Please post.
Thank you for this amazing sauce. J
