Thought of making some bbq type chicken tomorrow. I'll use a halogen oven/an air fryer. It has a lid with a halogen lamp and a fan, if you know.
What's a good spicy sauce you know please? I currently have mustard seeds, chilli powder, tomato sauce, cloves, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, pandanus, and black pepper powder. What should be added from the above list? And approx. how much/what's the ratio please? (I'll buy a chicken of around 2kg).

from your list I would use

tomato sauce
chili powder
garlic
vinegar
sugar
black pepper

I would add cumin powder, onion powder or onions. The “all purpose” blend looks good. You might do a search for more recipes and ideas.

This is just one - there are so many. I like dry mustard and would add that. Sometime I’m going to add wasabi.

Thanks. My main reason to mention what I have is that I can't find many of those ingredients found in recipe websites. E.g. I can't find thyme or oregano. But this list gives me an idea of the ratio, and I'll use the one that's closest to above options.
I'm thinking of adding curry leaves and cloves too. Then dip a crushed pandanus leaf, maybe.

I made it today. Added curry leaves, ginger, cumin, and onions too. Turned out good. My niece and nephew loved it. Had no proper ratio guide anyway, but I adjusted it to taste. Collected the fat and sauce mix that dripped to the bowl. I might use it in something if it smells and tastes good, or just throw it away. lol. Totally happy it wasn't a disaster.

For a spicy BBQ sauce with your available ingredients, here's a recipe that could work well for a 2kg chicken. Adjust the quantities to your spice preference:

Ingredients:​

  • Tomato sauce: 4 tablespoons (base for the sauce)
  • Chilli powder: 1.5 teaspoons (adjust depending on how spicy you want it)
  • Mustard seeds: 1 teaspoon (for a tangy, earthy flavor)
  • Garlic: 4 cloves, minced (adds depth)
  • Vinegar: 2 tablespoons (for acidity and tang)
  • Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons (for saltiness and umami)
  • Sugar: 2 teaspoons (to balance the heat and acidity)
  • Cloves: 2-3 cloves (crush them for a stronger flavor)
  • Black pepper powder: 1 teaspoon (for extra heat)
  • Pandanus: 1 small leaf (optional, adds a subtle, aromatic flavor)

Instructions:​

  1. Toast the mustard seeds and cloves in a small pan for a minute until fragrant, then crush them lightly.
  2. In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce, chilli powder, minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and the crushed mustard seeds and cloves.
  3. If you're using pandanus, tie a small piece of the leaf into a knot and let it soak in the sauce for 10-15 minutes to release its aroma.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want more sugar for sweetness or more chilli powder for heat.
  5. Marinate the chicken with this sauce for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results).
This will give your chicken a nice balance of tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors.

Thank you. I will try this and post the results here.
