This very tasty sauce was made to be served with Spatchcocked Peruvian-style Grilled Chicken, but I am sure it would be good on a wide variety of seafood as well.

This recipe is adapted from The Savory Baker by America’s Test Kitchen. A full recipe will make 16 breadsticks and will take about 3 hours, although an overnight rise in the refrigerator would probably make them even better.
