This is a dish given to me by friends from Sri Lanka. Tastes better the next day as the flavors mellow a little.

This tamarind chili chicken is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then I use it to make this dish during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's always delicious.

I've tried many tamarind chili chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. I love serving this dish with rice and a side of vegetables.
