Ingredients
 

  • 0.8 kg Boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsps Thai 7 spice seasoning
  • 2 tbsps Avocado oil or oil of choice
  • 2 Peppers chopped
  • 1 tsp Garlic granules
  • Drizzle of oil
  • Salt and pepper

Marinade

  • 2 Spring onions finely chopped
  • 3 Garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 Thumb sized piece of ginger grated
  • 1 Red chilli finely chopped
  • 4 tbsps Soy sauce
  • 6 tbsps Honey
  • 1 Lime juice only
  • 1 pinch Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat the oven to fan 180.
  • Place the chopped peppers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic granules and a drizzle of oil. Pop in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with some kitchen roll and place them in a large bowl along with the Thai 7 spice seasoning, a drizzle of oil and generously season with salt and pepper – mix well until the chicken is coated in the spice seasoning.
  • Add all the marinade ingredients to a clean 3 bowl – mix well.
  • Heat a large cast iron pan or non stick pan on a medium heat. Once hot, add 2 tbsps avocado oil followed by the chicken thighs. Pan fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely coloured and the chicken is cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same cast iron or non stick pan, pour in the marinade and allow to simmer away on a medium – low heat for 3-4 minutes making sure to scrape the caramelised bits off the bottom. Stir regularly and keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn – Once the marinade has thickened to your liking, pour into a small bowl.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with the roasted pepper and spoon over that lovely marinade. I like to top mine with fresh coriander and serve with a mixture a roasted vegetables and brown rice.
