THAI-FLAVORED HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN
Thai-Flavored Honey Glazed Chicken (with Sriracha Mayo)
Mix of five spices, cayenne pepper, honey, lime, sesame seeds and coriander. Delicious.
Ingredients
chicken
- 1 lb / 453 g (organic farm chicken), cut into strips
- 2 teaspoons of five Chinese spices (you can find it in the spice section)
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon raw organic honey
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (I used black seeds)
- Chopped fresh cilantro, lime wedges and fresh chilli slices for garnish
- Sriracha Mayo
- 3 tablespoons mayo (make your own paleo mayo with this recipe)
- 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of Sriracha (make your Sriracha with this recipe)
- 1 teaspoon lemon / lime juice
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- On a large sheet of parchment paper, mix the chicken strips with the five spices, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Fold the paper over and beat the chicken with a rolling pin (or plastic bottle) until the chicken is well rubbed and slightly flattened.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, olive oil and lime juice.
- Transfer the chicken to a shallow airtight container or a large Ziplock bag and add the marinade.
- Cover (or seal) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (marinate overnight for optimal flavor).
- In the meantime, make the Sriracha mayonnaise. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sriracha, lime juice and pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Put aside.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (if using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grill grates)
- and cook until well charred and cooked through (about 4 to 5 minutes per side).
- Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and mix to coat.
- Serve with lime wedges, sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and slices of fresh pepper if you feel like it.
