Instructions
Combine the chicken pieces and cajun seasoning in a bowl and mix well to coat.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan /skillet over medium-high heat.
While the pan heats, in a separate small bowl, combine the honey, chilli flakes, garlic and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside until required.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden. Try to turn just once.
When golden and almost cooked through, turn the heat down to medium. Add the honey mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often so it doesn’t catch, until sticky and coated.
Stir in the chopped coriander and serve immediately.

Notes
Tablespoons: I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (equal to 4 teaspoons). Check yours before measuring.
Chicken: You can use chicken thighs instead.
For extra juicy chicken, you can brine it for an hour first. Bring 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar to a boil stirring until dissolved. Add 3 cups of ice water and 1 tablespoon of peppercorns. Add the chicken and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. It really makes an amazing diffeence.
