A slightly modified version of a recipe from Easy International Cooking that is really bursting with flavour. With the chillies leave the seeds if you like some heat, remove the seeds if you want a little less heat or leave them out all together for a mild result. It is great served with crusty bread and also re-heats well. I've specified thigh meat because it's cheaper and works well, but you can use breast or other cuts as well.

This recipe was amazing! I made it for my family and they loved it. The chicken was so flavorful and the sauce was perfect. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a complete meal. I will definitely be making this again!

This recipe was okay. The chicken was tender, but the sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a filling meal. I might try making it again with a different sauce.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly, but the chicken was tough and the sauce was too salty. I served it with rice and beans, but it was still a waste of time. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I served it with rice and beans, but it was still a let down. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a filling meal. I might try making it again with less chili powder.

I made this recipe last night and it was amazing! The chicken was so moist and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. I served it with tortillas and guacamole, and it was a perfect meal. I will definitely be making this again and again!
