Preparation

Step 1

Sauce - Whisk the ingredients in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Sprinkle each piece of chicken with the salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat.

Step 4

Coat chicken - Quickly dip a piece of chicken in the Sauce, shake off excess, then place in the pan. Repeat with as many pieces of chicken as you can fit in the pan.

Step 5

Cook the first side for 3 minutes, until it caramelises and is dark golden, then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes until the chicken is almost cooked through.

Step 6

Sauce - Add the remaining Sauce and water. Bring to a rapid simmer, stirring occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pan to get all the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. When the sauce has thickened (around 1 to 2 minutes), remove the pan from the stove. Turn chicken in Sauce to coat.

Step 7

To serve, place chicken on plate and spoon over Sauce.
