This is a thick, glossy, pourable marinade/sauce with a deep reddish-brown colour, smooth texture, and a rich, appetizing aroma. It’s tomato-based with added sweetness (from sugars or syrups), garlic, herbs, spices, a subtle chilli kick, and BBQ-style elements to promote caramelization and stickiness when cooked. The result is a sauce that clings to meat, creating a shiny, flavour-packed glaze.
The flavour profile is:
Sweet and sticky upfront (caramelized sugar notes)
Savoury and garlicky with herb depth
Mild spicy kick from chillies (not overly hot—more flavourful warmth)
Tangy BBQ undertones balanced for classic braai appeal
It’s specifically designed as a marinade (soaks in for tenderness) and basting/glazing sauce, perfect for achieving that “sticky chicken” look and taste loved at SA braais.
