YUMMIEST BARCHUP SAUCY CHICKEN
Barchup saucy chicken? this is a meal that will hit right into your soul. Full of flavour and I like to call this a meal for those who like it sweet and tart. Haha, yes sweet and tart because it gives you the sweet taste while ensuring that you have the tart taste. I honestly did not know how sweet this sauce would turn out. It was born from the lack of having some ingredients which were soy sauce, tomato paste and some fish sauce one evening as I was preparing my meal where I had intended to make fillet cut and then mix with some sauce. It was late and there was no way, I could go and shop for the missing ingredients. I had to make use of what I had in the house and that is how the barchup sauce came to be.
Today, I decided to share with you the sauce while making an amazing chicken meal as we make this yummy barchup saucy chicken. With the festive season around, make sure to have this meal as part of your menu and your family and guests will love the meal. I won’t keep you waiting, so lets dive right in and make this meal??
