Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
6 boneless, skin-off chicken thighs
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
Base
3 tablespoons maple syrup or brown sugar
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon each cumin seeds and yellow mustard seeds
4cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, julienned
1 long red chilli, thinly sliced

METHOD
Equipment: 26cm ovenproof sauté pan.

Combine all the base ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to combine well.
