A sweet and savoury peppered dish, fragrant with ginger and spices. Serve with cooked basmati rice and steamed Asian greens.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
6 boneless, skin-off chicken thighs
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
Base
3 tablespoons maple syrup or brown sugar
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon each cumin seeds and yellow mustard seeds
4cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, julienned
1 long red chilli, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon tamari

METHOD
Equipment: 26cm ovenproof sauté pan.
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.
Combine all the base ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to combine well.
