I really enjoyed the dish. The only change I did is I added a red capsicum (for the colour) and a splash of Tabasco pepper sauce (for the heat) as I didn't have scotch bonnet peppers. I used chicken breast and because of the marinate it melted in my mouth as it was so tender. I've given it a 4 star as I felt it needed something more as the vinegar was a little overpowering, maybe an extra tablespoon of honey next time I make it? Thank you Lene

This is a special recipe! It goes right into my favorite chicken recipes. I made half the recipe no problem. I could not get Scotch bonnet peppers so used3 Jalapenos in the half recipe. The chicken looks wonder ful with it's burnt appearancem has a crunchy crust and tasted heavenly. Thanks Lene for a lovely dinner
