Indian Sticky Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by thoroughly coating chicken thighs in a spice blend including garam masala, smoked paprika, and salt. The spiced chicken is pan-fried in olive oil to develop a golden brown crust while cooking through. Adding honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice in the pan allows the sugars to caramelize, forming a sticky sauce that clings to the chicken surface.
The final dish offers a combination of savory spice warmth, sweet honey glaze, and a subtle citrus tang. The texture is tender and juicy with a glossy, sticky coating.
Indian Sticky Chicken can be served alongside fresh salad and new potatoes, balancing richness with freshness and mild starchy sides.
