Published in Bon Appetit, July 1994. The original recipe calls for two 4-pound chickens, each cut into 6 pieces. We prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The sauce would also be good on a pork tenderloin. Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 cup freshly minced onion |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
3 tablespoons hungarian hot paprika |
2 bay leaves |
1 tablespoon dry mustard |
1 1/4 teaspoons dried thyme |
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1 teaspoon ground pepper |
3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes |
1 3/4 cups catsup |
1 cup fresh orange juice |
1/4 cup light molasses (unsulfured) |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts |
Directions:
1. Sauce: (make 1 day ahead).
2. Heat oil in heavy saucepan over low heat.
3. Add onions, garlic, paprika, bay leaves, dry mustard, thyme, ginger, curry powder, ground pepper, and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Uncover; add catsup, orange juice, lemon juice, molasses, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Simmer until sauce is reduced to 3 cups, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Chill 24 hours.
