Nathan Anthony’s honey and sriracha chicken is lazy cooking at its finest

Nathan Anthony describes this dish as “lazy but loaded with flavour” in his latest cookbook, Bored of Lunch: Six Ingredient Slow Cooker.

“It’s an incredible dish for cutting corners and saves so much prep time, but it still wows on taste. I prefer to seal the chicken before slow-cooking it, for extra flavour, but you can skip this step if you prefer,” says the Northern Irish cook.
