This may be a daft question but I am an absolute beginner in cooking - what is hot sauce? I googled it but the first hit was a wiki page which claims there are thousands of varieties of hot sauce! Recipe looks delicious! - 03 Sep 2012
Delicious!! It was a tough call for my hubby to decide whether to finish all the leftovers tonight or leave it for lunch tomorrow The only change I made was with the chicken, I cut up 4 chicken breasts into large chunks and coated them in 1/2 cup flour (that had the salt and pepper mixed it). I then browned them with the flour mixture on and followed the rest of the recipe to the 'T'. We love spicy food but the 2 Tbsp were a bit much so I cut it back to 1 Tbsp. StevenMcC- I always use Tabasco hot sauce but there are so many it doesn't really matter- enjoy trying different ones...though they are basically the same except for the extreme ones (ie- 100% Pain is the name of one we just tried a few weeks ago!). - 06 Sep 2012
Lovely recipe! Very simple and very quick. I coated the chicken strips in flour first and I doubled the amount of sauce using some of the sauce to stir in with boiled rice. If your not used to hot food use half of the hot sauce (I used Tabasco). Will definitely be making this again! - 10 May 2013
