Served next to your new favourite side dish - golden sesame fries - this meal will keep you coming back for more! *This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.*

Olive oil
Potato
2
Mixed sesame seeds
0.5 sachet
Spring onion
1 bunch
Soy sauce
2 tbs
Honey
1 tbs
Garlic aioli
1 packet
Slaw Mix
1 bag
Garlic
2 clove
Vinegar
0.5 tbs
Chicken thigh
1 packet
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato into fries. Place the fries and mixed sesame seeds (see ingredients) on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the spring onion.
In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, soy sauce, honey and 1/2 the vinegar. Add the chicken thigh and turn to coat. In a large bowl, combine the garlic aioli with the remaining vinegar. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Using tongs, pick up the chicken and let the excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Cook the chicken, turning, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cook time, add the remaining marinade and simmer until reduced slightly. TIP: The marinade will darken and caramelise – this adds to the flavour!
Add the slaw mix and spring onion to the aioli dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine.
Divide the honey soy-glazed chicken between plates and spoon over any remaining glaze. Serve with the sesame fries and creamy slaw.
