indian sticky chicken

Saw this on The Naked Chef the other night, and it seemed too simple to be true! A Indian dish that is curry-less, and doesn't require a ton of prep work- I'm all for it.

The Naked Chef- Jamie Oliver- used chicken thighs to make this dish, which is cool. But, I bought a gigantic pack of chicken breast so I just went with that. I know this looks like a ton of seasoning, but it's what you need.

That's the kind of color you're looking for. Dark and browned and crispy.

That's when you add the lemon and honey- let this reduce into a caramelized sauce. Yum.

Jamie made a salad with new potatoes, but I was in the mood for some rice. I cooked white rice according to the box and added some oil to the pan to cook it with garlic.

A few dashes of turmeric, a squirt of Sriracha and a squeeze of lemon and you've got yourself a spicy Indian rice dish.
