Easy Sticky Chicken
So I’m going to treat you to my version of Easy Sticky Chicken, slimming style 🙂
I know I know another chicken dish!! I can’t help it – I love it and chicken is so lean and versatile.
Honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic and ginger – so so good!
The ginger and garlic really make it for me
Sticky and sweet with a hint of warmth from the ginger. This is is a balanced blend of all those lovely flavours with a really sticky texture
Sweet & Sticky – just look at it
The Ingredients for Sticky Chicken
It’s a really simple recipe and it’s really wonderful
No fancy pants stuff here, just Easy Peasy lemon squeezy
Marinading your Sticky Chicken
This is such an easy recipes, simply toss all your marinade ingredients together
Add your chicken, stir really well cover and pop in the fridge to marinade for minimum 30 minutes
If you have longer then marinade for longer – the flavour only improves
Into the pan – yum yum – sticky chicken
It will look a little watery at this stage, but as it cooks it will reduce and at the end be golden and sticky
Be CAREFUL here as you will see it go very brown and super sticky – remove it from the heat at that point else it will burn.
(It’s the honey that does this)

And the finished article after 20 minutes in the pan
Beautiful & golden – sticky, sweet and delicious – it’s SOOOOO good
What to serve with your Easy Sticky Chicken
Simply serve with boiled rice maybe?
I also love it with tender stem broccoli and asparagus, which I pop in a pan with Fry Light and a tablespoon of water (lid on)
I also guess it would be great with noodles too? And maybe spring onions and mushrooms in the noodles? Yum!
I also eat the sticky chicken cold and chopped in salads, it really is so good. Sticky and so full of flavour, borimngh salads are banished 🙂
Storing, Freezing your Sticky Chicken
If there are any leftovers – which I doubt, y our Sticky Chicken will keep really well in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Make sure you cool your chicken, pop in a airtight container and refrigerate as soon as cool
When you are ready to reheat (it’s good cold too) you can use a pan on the hob or a microwave. Just make sure it is piping hot all the way through
You can also freeze this Sticky Chicken. but in my honest opinion is not as good after. However if you’d like too, again pop its in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Let it thaw and then reheat as above
The Deets
Everything is free except the honey
If you want to count the Syns for SW – honey is 2.5 per Tablespoon – so that’s 5 for the whole dish
= 2.5 per portion as this serves 2

Hmmm wish I was not a specialist in setting off the fire alarm – makes me a bit nervous trying to cook with honey – not to mention the other half claims not to like honey or vinegar. I shall have to cook it in the shed – this is going to be a thing – I am going to get set up to cook in the shed! The house will smell as if we go out to eat everyday!!! I’ll come back here and say how it actually tasted meanwhile giving you 5 * on reading enjoyment.

Absolutely love this recipe but I’ve had my own twist by incorporating some diced bell pepper and onion. With a pinch of mixed herbs.
