Chicken Chili Marinade is a spicy sauce popular in Nepal.

The Chicken grilled in Chicken chili marinade is truly divine that everyone would surely want to grab as it’s juicy, tender, luscious and lip-smacking.

The spiciness of the sauce mainly comes from the red chili and timur or Szechuan pepper. If you have access to the dried chilies and can make the time to make your own sauce base, it's totally worth it for the extra intensity and depth of flavour. “Sichuan pepper” refers to a spice obtained from a group of closely related plants of genus Zantho­xylum. In Asia, most representatives of this genus are found in the Himalayan region, furthermore in Central, South, South East and East Asia.

The dried fruits of Sichuan peppers have an aromatic odour which can be described lemon like with more warm and woodsy overtones. The taste of most of these species are pungent and biting; it may take some time to develop, but in the end produces a strangely numbing, almost anaesthetic feeling on the tongue. Again, it is exception because it has only small pungent quality.
