Cooking Steps

1

Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Peel, then cut kumara into fries. Place fries and mixed sesame seeds on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt. Add a dash of water to the tray, spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. In a medium bowl, combine garlic, the soy sauce, honey and the rice wine vinegar. Add chicken thigh and turn to coat. Set aside.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Using tongs, pick up chicken and let excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add remaining marinade and simmer until reduced slightly.

TIP: The marinade will darken and caramelise, this adds to the flavour!
