Selfish, Inconsiderate Bastards!

The people renting the house over our back fence had another party.... they started at 8:30pm and got more and more noisy. No sleep was being had in this house. At 4am I called the noise police, who visited them and shut down the party. Next time, I won't wait so long. I wish we lived in the country.


Honey Chilli Chicken

1.5kg Chicken pieces
rice flour or cornflour
salt
oil for deep frying - though you don't actually need to do this - just bake the chicken, tip the sauce over and cook til the sauce is thick - easier and healthier :-)
2.5cm (1inch) piece of fresh ginger
2 tbsp honey
1/3 cup water
1 tbsp chilli sauce - I made so much this summer, that I have to use it. But, at this rate I won't need to make any next year!
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tsp gluten-free soy sauce (I use Tamari)

Coat chicken pieces in flour that has been seasoned with salt.
Fry chicken in oil (or not - just bake it)
Put a little oil in a pot.
Add peeled and grated ginger and fry gently for a minute
Add honey, stir for a minute.
Add combined water, chilli sauce, lemon juice and soy sauce.
Stir until sauce boils.
Pour over the chicken.
Sprinkle thinly sliced spring onions on top and cook a little more
This is really good, even cold, straight from the fridge at 2am - if it's good enough for Nigella ...

Note to Self: The original recipe called for Chinese Chilli Sauce, which I didn't have. My own chilli sauce is quite mild and I would add some chilli flakes next time.
