Sticky BBQ-Spiced Honey Glazed Chicken

1. Coat the Chicken
   In a bowl, toss the chicken with Shemin’s BBQ Spice Blend, olive oil, ginger, garlic and a pinch of salt & pepper. Let it marinate for 5 minutes (or longer if you have time).
2. Sear to Perfection
   Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes per side (adjust time depending on the cut).
3. Glaze it Up
   Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Let it bubble and thicken for 2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chicken as it caramelises.
4. Ensure It’s Cooked Through
   Check that the chicken is cooked all the way through—juices should run clear, and the internal temperature should reach 75°C.
5. Serve & Enjoy
   Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing. Serve with fluffy rice, roasted vegetables, or stuffed in wraps for a flavour-packed meal.

Tips:

• Make Extra Glaze – Double the glaze ingredients and drizzle it over crispy roast potatoes or grilled halloumi for an extra treat.
• Shred for More Versatility – Try shredding the chicken and tossing it in the glaze before serving in warm wraps, rice bowls, or loaded baked potatoes.
• Brighten with Citrus – Add a squeeze of fresh lime at the end to brighten up the flavours and give it a fresh, zesty finish.
• Use Leftovers Creatively – Chop up the chicken and mix it into a simple stir-fry, salad, or pasta dish for an easy next-day meal.
• Crisp It Up in the Oven – Want a crispier finish? Oven-bake the chicken at 200°C (fan) for 20-25 minutes instead of pan-searing, then brush on the glaze in the last 5 minutes.
• Turn Up the Heat – Like it spicy? Add a pinch of chilli flakes or fresh chopped chilli to the glaze for an extra kick.
