"This recipe..appeared in the Toronto Star many years ago as a result of a
contest to create a sauce similar to Swiss Chalet's barbecue sauce. Home
economist Kay Spicer created the winning recipe."

Anne's note: Swiss Chalet is a chain of Canadian chicken restaurants. This
sauce is brushed on the chicken before cooking and served at the table in
small containers to dip the chicken pieces in.

Pour cups of water and tomato juice into 1 One half qt saucepan. Add bouillon
cube, paprika, sugar, salt, basil, parsley, poultry seasoning, thyme,
ginger, mustard, onion powder, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
Stir well or whisk to mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5
minutes. Remove bay leaf. Stir in lemon juice.

Mix cornstarch and 1 Tbsp water to smooth paste. Add to mixture and cook,
stirring constantly, about 2 minutes until sauce thickens. Whisk in oil.
