3Small red chiles
6Cloves garlic
1tablespoonPaprika
½teaspoonChile powder
Lemon or lime juice

Directions

You like hot? You can increase the heat to "paint-remover" by using hotter chiles or adding to spice quantities. Pound chiles and garlic in a mortar (or process). Add to melted butter (in Africa, usually clarified butler) with paprika and chile powder. Add lime or lemon juice to taste (lime will be better for this one). Mix well. For chicken wings, or breasts, or fish, or prawns, marinate meat for 5-10 minutes, baste with sauce while cooking and spoon sauce over before serving.
