I call this Sticky Pantry Chicken because you probably have most of the ingredients for the marinade in your pantry. It tastes like a fabulous country-style sauce. You'll have this sweet, sticky chicken on the table in 15 minutes!
Sprinkle each piece of chicken with the salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat.
Coat chicken - Quickly dip a piece of chicken in the Sauce, shake off excess, then place in the pan. Repeat with as many pieces of chicken as you can fit in the pan.
Cook the first side for 3 minutes, until it caramelises and is dark golden, then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes until the chicken is almost cooked through.
Sauce - Add the remaining Sauce and water. Bring to a rapid simmer, stirring occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pan to get all the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. When the sauce has thickened (around 1 to 2 minutes), remove the pan from the stove. Turn chicken in Sauce to coat.
To serve, place chicken on plate and spoon over Sauce.
Notes
1. You can substitute the brown sugar for honey or maple syrup.2. Any hot sauce will work, just be sure to adjust for spiciness to your taste.3. You can make this using any cut of chicken, and is suitable for grilling, baking or cooking on the stove.4. Always refer to the cooking instructions for the rice as the water to rice ratio differs between different brands. Generally the rule of thumb is 1 cup of uncooked rice with 1 1/2 cups water.5. You can substitute the broccolini for other vegetables if you want, just be sure to cut them to a size such that they would cook in boiling water in 1 to 2 minutes - that is a suitable size to "steam" using the residual heat of the rice.6. Marinading for a while (up to 24 hours) is optional but not necessary. This recipe makes such a great glaze it's not critical to get the flavours infused into the chicken.7. This marinade/sauce is fantastic for grilling on the BBQ as well. Omit the hot sauce, and the kids will love it!8. The nutritional information is based on serving 6 people.
