Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Boil a half-full kettle

Get started

Make the marinade

- Place the garlic, remaining tamari, half the chilli (or to taste) and juice from the lime into the small bowl and mix
Get sizzlin'
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chick'n and cook for 2-3 mins, until golden
