Let's start with something simple.

I've always been a fan of finger food. Not only because it cuts down on the washing up when you don't have plates and forks to deal with but also because there's a kind of childlike glee in realising you have sauce all over your fingers and you now have to lick it all off and taste the goodness all over again. Unless you go wash your hands instead, but who wants to do that?

I guarantee you my mini maple chicken bites will have you licking your fingers and smacking your lips. They are wonderfully sticky delicious nibbles and so ridiculously simple to make that you'll be whipping them out at the first available opportunity. Just because you can.

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• juice and zest of half an orange
• 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

Method

• Cut the chicken breasts into medium sized strips, or chunks if you prefer and stir fry until cooked in a wok
• Meanwhile, juice the orange and mix with the maple syrup and mustard
• When the chicken is just cooked, pour the marinade in and continue to stir fry until the chicken is covered and the marinade has gone sticky
• Spoon the chicken out of the wok into a dish or bowl and pour over the excess sauce

Tada! Stupidly easy chicken nibbles in ten minutes! Enjoy!
