Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mix the finely garlic, chilli, crystallised ginger, dark brown sugar and shallot together. A blender or processor can be used also but do not over process.
Step 2
Rub the mix into the whole chicken pieces then place in a glass or plastic bowl and leave covered in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to one hour. (NOTE: Use a non reactive bowl for this process).
Step 3
Keeping the marinade for later ~ Remove the chicken pieces out of the marinade & smear a large frying pan with oil.
Step 4
Heat the frying pan until hot and place chicken pieces skin side down.
Step 5
Fry the chicken ~ hot and quick until browned well.
Step 6
Turn the chicken pieces over and brown the other side & remove chicken pieces from pan
Step 7
Using the same frying pan ~ On a medium heat, add the honey, stir through, and then add the chicken stock and the leftover marinade from the bowl & bring to a simmer.
Step 8
Return the chicken and gently simmer until cooked through — this should only take about 15 minutes.
Step 9
Leave and low simmer any leftover liquid in frying pan reduce & thicken for a sauce, although reducing may not be necessary. This will not take long, so watch the sauce.
Step 10
Serve chicken on a bed of rice with any of the frying pan liquid, reduced if necessary, as the sauce.
