Our Hot Honey Crunch is the most-ordered chicken sandwich across all six restaurants, and the honey is the reason. It is simple to make and keeps for months.
You will need
- 500 g runny Greek thyme honey
- 2 dried chipotle chillies
- 1 dried Florina pepper
- 1 tsp Aleppo chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
- A pinch of salt
Method
Toast the whole chillies in a dry pan until fragrant, then tear them into the honey with the flakes. Warm gently to 70°C, never boiling, and hold for fifteen minutes. Stir in the vinegar and salt, then strain into a clean jar.
“Keep the heat low. Boiled honey turns bitter, and no amount of chilli will save it.”
Drizzle it over fried chicken, pizza, roast pumpkin, fried feta or vanilla ice cream. We will not tell anyone.
