A very simple way to use chicken thighs. Protein rich and full of healthy fats. You will want to marinade them for as long as possible before cooking. This gives time for the flavours to be absorbed. Best served with an almond butter satay. These really are utterly divine. The recipe does use raw honey, you can leave this out if you don't want it, but it is such a small amount and I promise, really des make a positive difference.
