need substitute for habanero pepper
Want to make the Senegalese braised chicken with onion and limes but cannot find fresh habaneros. What can I use? Will habanero hot sauce work?

Hi Eileen - Sorry for the delay in answering your question - somehow it slipped through without us seeing it. I've made the Chicken Yassa a number of times using jalapeño, so that would be a fine substitute. If you'd like thing spicier, I would recommend a combo of fresh jalapeño and your habanero hot sauce. I think the fresh chili is necessary to add fruitiness to the dish. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.
Got it, thanks.
Thai bird's eye chilies were a great substitute in the roff dressing of the Senegalese mango, tomato, avocado salad
