- Heat your frypan over medium-high heat. Add oil. When hot, add chicken in single layer and cook 3-4 mins per side. The marinade should add a nice blackened char to the chicken. Once cooked remove from the frypan.
- To the frypan add tomato sauce/ketchup and stock, stirring the bottom to release all the cooked on spices. Also add any spices left over in your marinating bowl. Let this mixture come to a simmer.
