Easy Sweet and Spicy Dizzy Dust Chicken

Name: Easy Sweet and Spicy Dizzy Dust Chicken
Ingredients: 1 Tbsp brown sugar; 2 Tbsp honey; 1/4 cup soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to keep recipe gluten-free); 2 tsp chopped fresh ginger root; 2 tsp chopped fresh garlic; 1 Tbsp Spicy Dizzy Dust, divided; 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt, or to taste; 1.5 lb your favorite chicken pieces (we used chicken breast strips (sometimes called chicken breast tenderloins) for this cook, but this recipe would be great on bone-in wings); 1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Main Dish Chicken Gluten-Free Kitchen, Small Plate

By Joellen Bulgrin

Nothing rounds out a kick of heat like a little sweet. This easy sweet and spicy chicken works well as an appetizer, or a main dish and is great served with rice and veggies, or in a bowl of pan fried noodles.

The simple honey, soy, ginger sauce really gets the taste buds rolling and the Spicy Dizzy Dust follows through with a smack of flavor and heat. Browning the chicken well is important, so don’t hesitate to use a higher heat for thinner pieces of chicken. Thicker pieces (especially bone in) will take a lot more time and you’ll need to use a lower heat so they don’t over brown.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to keep recipe gluten-free)
2 tsp chopped fresh ginger root
2 tsp chopped fresh garlic
1 Tbsp Spicy Dizzy Dust, divided
1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt, or to taste
1.5 lb your favorite chicken pieces (we used chicken breast strips (sometimes called chicken breast tenderloins) for this cook, but this recipe would be great on bone-in wings)
1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

Mix together brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and 2 teaspoons of Spicy Dizzy Dust in small bowl, set aside.
Season chicken pieces with salt and the remaining teaspoon of Spicy Dizzy Dust.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken pieces and brown on both sides, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.¹
Pour the sauce over the chicken. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes after adding the sauce.²
Serve with rice and veggies, or in a bowl of pan fried noodles.

Notes:
¹ For bone-in wings, we suggest about 12 minutes to brown.
² For bone-in wings, cook the chicken until your meat thermometer reaches 165-170°F
