- 4 tbs of maple syrup

Instructions

- Spray a frying pan over a high heat with some cooking oil spray.
- Add the chicken, ginger, onion powder, garlic powder and seasoned well with salt and black pepper.
- Fry until lightly golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- Add the sauce ingredients to the frying pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits stuck to the pan, this will add flavour to your sauce.
- Bubble the sauce on a high heat until it starts to thicken, you will know it is thickened enough if you run a wooden spoon through the sauce and the sauce divides.
- Once the sauce is to this consistency, add back in the chicken and continue to simmer until the chicken pieces are well coated in the sauce and cooked through.
- Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!!
