DESCRIPTION:

This is especially good cooked over a charcoal fire. (Naturally a gas grill works fine, too.) A California Zinfandel or a red Rhone wine from France would go well here.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1 to 2 chile peppers, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp. salt
6 bone-in chicken breast halves

PREPARATION:

1. Prepare a charcoal grill.

2. In a large bowl, combine tomato sauce, chiles, garlic, vinegar, and salt. Measure out 1/2 cup of the mixture and set aside. Place the chicken in the bowl with the remainging sauce and marinate for 10 minutes.

3. Grill the chicken for about 30 minutes, basting with the marinade as you turn it. Serve with the reserved 1/2 cup sauce on the side.
