Has anyone tried out this butter chicken sauce from Aldi?
I don't know if it's spicy because it has chilli powder listed in its ingredients.

2% spices is quite a lot - might actually have a punch. Haven't ever tried it though. If looking for a very mild sauce, try the Chicken Tonight range or similar with added spice (by you). That is, fry up protein, add spices to taste or not, then add sauce from bottle and simmer as per instructions. If doing something like this, I use garam masala rather than chilli and that works very well. Plenty of taste but you still have tastebuds after eating it.
Would it be too much of a stretch to assume that it's 2% divided between 7 spices in equal amounts?
Probably not equal amounts - ingredients are generally listed in descending order of quantity.
