Inspired by the Thai street food dish of gai yang, the chicken is grilled in a spicy honey sriracha sauce that tantalises the taste buds. The pearl barley, asparagus and corn salsa pair well with this healthy take on the quintessential Thai favourite, while the California Raisins add extra sweetness to complement the spiciness of the chicken.
