    Had this for tonights supper. Used the smallest cockerel I could find but it still weighed in at nearly 5kg/11lbs. Used about 1.5kg and will use the rest for other recipes. Made as directed. The chilli heat was right on the limit to what I find pleasant..... if doing again I'd probably use 2/2.5 birdseye chilli's rather than the specified 4. The sauce was very liquid but full of flavour. As suggested I made this in the slow-cooker..... 5hrs on high rather than 4hrs on the stove top. Eaten with steamed white rice. An all round good supper.
