🔥 Instructions: 1. Sear the chicken: Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper. In a hot pan, sear in olive oil until golden on all sides. Add butter at the end for extra color and flavor. Set aside. 2. Make the sauce: Blend the dates, miso, lemon juice, zest, garlic, and hot water until smooth. The texture should be pourable but slightly thick. 3. Glaze it: Pour the sauce over the warm chicken in the pan. Let it bubble for a minute or two until sticky and glossy. Coat all the pieces. 4. Serve real: Scoop onto a ceramic plate. Let the sauce drip. Let the edges be uneven. No garnish. No rules.
