Instructions

Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the chicken, toss to coat and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
Put the sauce ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and whisk. Set aside for at least 1 hour to let the garlic flavour develop.
Drain excess marinade from the chicken. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Cook half the chicken for 1½ to 2 minutes per side until golden. Remove to a plate.
Wipe loose black bits out of the pan, reheat the remaining oil and cook the rest of the chicken the same way. Rest for 2 minutes.
While the chicken rests, microwave the sauce for 40 seconds until warm but not hot, then whisk well. Add more lemon for tang, or water to loosen if too thick.
Spread half the sauce in a shallow bowl, lay the chicken on top, spoon over the remaining sauce, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parsley.
