  1. 1

    Season and coat the chicken

    Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

    Coat them in cornstarch.

  2. 2

    Pan fry on medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes each side until nice and crispy.

    Set the chicken aside.

    Melt the butter in the pan.

    Mix in the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, lemon zest, paprika and chilli flakes.

  4. 4

    Reduce the sauce

    Reduce the sauce until thick and sticky.
