Soy Honey Chicken

1: To a pan on medium flame, add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, star anise, cinnamon and whole black peppercorn.

2: Add the slit chillies and grate in the garlic and ginger.

3: Once the mixture comes to a simmer, add in the honey and stir. Let it come to a boil and switch off after 1 minute and let it cool. As the sauce cools, it should thicken.

4: Once the sauce has cooled sufficiently, add it to the chicken thighs and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

5: Once marinated, heat a wide saucepan over medium flame and add the chicken to sear, reserving the marinade.

6: Once the chicken is 90 percent cooked add in the marinade and let it cook for 5 minutes.

7: Mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry and add it to the pan while mixing. The sauce should thicken considerably.

8: Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion.

9: Serve with steamed rice.
