Indian Sticky Chicken

Sticky Indian Chicken

I saw a clip of Jamie Oliver cooking his “Sticky-Kicking chicken” online a week ago and just loved the teqnique he used for getting maximum flavour out of a humble little chicken thigh. Jamie rubs the thighs with Chinese 5-spice and then fries it in a hot pan until cooked and finally adds some sweet chilli sauce to the pan to create a delicious, sticky chicken. I loved this idea and decided to make it for dinner a few nights ago. The only problem was that I didn’t have any 5-spice in the house but decided to use a fragrant Garam Masala and honey instead.

This is a perfect family-style meal which I served with a mixed salad with lots of yellow tomatoes, radishes and feta cheese and some roasted red-skin baby potatoes. Ridiculously easy and absolutely delicious!

    Is this worth attempting without a nonstick pan? I don’t own one and worry about smoking, sticking… I’ve been eyeing this recipe for months and would love to give it a try, but I’m worried! Appreciate any input!

      If you spray your pan with cooking spray beforehand the cleanup after shouldn’t be too bad. 🙂

      Yes, they’re boneless. They should be cooked within 10-15 minutes.

      Robyn, I don’t think it would work all that well with mince but you could try? Let me know how it turns out.

    Not stupid at all! 🙂 Runny honey is just regular honey you buy in any supermarket. I specify “runny honey” because you get so many different kinds (Creamed, etc).

    I’d like to make the sticky chicken, but as an experienced cook, I never heard of Garam marsala or turbinado sugar. Could you tell me what they are and where to find them.

      Bitsy, Garam Masala is an indian spice mix. You can use any masala or spice mix for this. I’m not sure where you read turbinado sugar as this isn’t used in this recipe?

    Have you done a pre rub with the chicken? I’am planning on rubbing the chicken down with the spices and letting it sit in the fridge until dinner time! Here’s to our boys loving some sticky chicken! They love tikka Marsala when I make it hopefully they ‘ll love a similar tone!

    are you leaving the chicken in the pan as you add the honey and lemon or putting it all in a bowl & mixing?

      Yep, leave the chicken in so it can go lovely and sticky.
