World's best chicken dipping sauce
Ok, world's best might be stretching it a bit, though this is darn good sauce. We are having roast chicken for dinner and I came across a recipe for a dipping sauce. My darling husband mentioned he would love some sauce with dinner so a challenge was born, make a super awesome sauce comparable to a Canadian chicken chain. I googled and googled some more, found a recipe that looked good except I didn't want to make it on the stove and it was missing a little something. I added my magic touch, documented cooking times and voila!
World's best chicken dipping sauce "Swiss style"
3 cups water
3 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp lemon juice
4 drops hot sauce
1 chicken broth cube
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp white sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp all spice
1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
1 tsp onion flakes
1 bay leaf
4 tbsp cornstarch
In a large microwave safe measuring cup whisk together wet ingredients.
In a bowl mix together dry ingredients.
Whisk dry mixture into the wet.
Microwave for 12 minutes on high whisking after every 2 minutes.
Note: My microwave is only 700kw, keep an eye on your sauce if your microwave is stronger.
The original unaltered recipe that I used as a starting point is here:
