With its sweet and salty flavour profile, a honey and garlic-spiked hoisin sauce adds a special touch to succulent chicken thigh, creating an aromatic glaze in the pan in the last minute of cook time. Turn the sides into something special with a sprinkling of mixed sesame seeds on the roast sweet potatoes and a sesame oil and vinegar dressing for the slaw.

Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced.
• Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks.
• Place potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, sprinkle over mixed sesame seeds and toss to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice pear into wedges. Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium bowl combine hoisin sauce, garlic, the honey and a splash of water. Mix well.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thigh, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. In the last minute, add the sauce mixture, turning chicken to coat.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine sesame oil blend, the vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add deluxe salad mix and pear, tossing to combine. Season to taste.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
