We would also be happy to feature your own personal favourite recipe but do remember that you should not submit anything which may be copyright.

Quick and Spicy Chicken
Serves Four
Ingredients
- 4 skinless, boned chicken breasts
- 2 tblspns dark brown or demerara sugar
- 4 tblspns tomato ketchup
- 2 tblspns tarragon vinegar1
- 1 tblspn Worcester or brown sauce
- 1 tblspn vegetable oil
- Black pepper
Method
- Mix together all the ingredients except the chicken. Use a fairly shallow, non-metallic dish.
- Slash the chicken breasts with fairly deep incisions, taking care not to cut right through.
- Add to the marinade and turn until completely covered. Cover and place in the 'fridge for at least 10 minutes2.
- Preheat the grill to high. Place the chicken onto a baking tray or line the grillpan with foil and place them directly on the pan. Put any excess marinade to one side.
- Grill the chicken for 7-8 minutes then turn, baste with marinade again and grill for a further 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Test using sharp knife - the juices should run clear.
- Any remaining marinade may be heated gently in a pan.
- Serve with a crisp, green salad or hot vegetables, pouring a little of the marinade over each piece.
Enjoy
