Chicken Barbecue Sauce

This chicken barbecue sauce is a tomato based sauce used as marinade or barbecue sauce for grilled chicken parts such as wings, drumsticks or breasts. It also works very well for vegetarian (e.g., wheat- and soy-based) meat alternatives. It was invented by Johan Zandin from Gothenburg, Sweden and mixes 9 different ingredients from Europe, Asia and North America.
