Sticky Chicky

We have our very adorable nephews visiting at the moment. They're older than my son, which makes them just impossibly cool to him, and every day he is learning new expressions and tricks. We had an awesome day together yesterday, playing tourists in our city. We went to a farm to forage strawberries and then had a delicious picnic in a park. We wrapped up the day at the city zoo, which has an unbelievably impressive complement of animals... We were pooped and hungry when we got home. A quick and tasty dinner was required. Enter, sticky chicky.

Ingredients
5 x free range chicken lovely legs
1 tsp butter
1/3 cup organic tamari
2 tablespoons manuka honey
1/3 cup filtered water
1 tsp flour
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Melt the butter in a saucepan over high heat. Add the chicken and fry off on both sides until brown, then lower temp and cover with a snug fitting lid. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, until cooked through and tender. Remove lid and add the tamari and honey and water. Use a spoon to ladle over the chicken and increase heat.

Remove chicken and set aside. Add tsp flour and stir to remove lumps. The sauce will thicken. Add sesame seeds if using.

I served this with my nephews' favourite-- mashed potato! And with the sauce on the side for dipping in to.
This is great for kids or grown ups alike. Such a yummy and simple meal at the end of a huge day.
