For the Chicken

1. To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients in a bowl, whisk well together, transfer into a
jar and store in the fridge for up to 1 month

2. Cut chicken into desired sized pieces. And rub salt and pepper on it.

3. In a heavy bottom pan, add some cooking oil. Get the pan very very hot and then gently put the chicken pieces on SKIN SIDE DOWN. Get a gorgeous sear on that side first. Then flip the chicken and cook in an oven at 375°F for about 15 minutes.

4. Take it out of the oven, add minced garlic and mix well.

5. Brush some prepared bbq sauce over it. May be even add a little extra into the pan.

6. Put the pan back on the stove on medium-low heat and baste chicken pieces with the sauce. As the sauce cooks it will get sticky. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Then serve with some garnishes like green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy while it’s hot!

Tip: You may add sriracha or any other hot sauce provided you enjoy the heat.
