Add the chicken to a bowl with the spring onion, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and the remaining stock cube
Mix very well and set aside
4
Roll the lime[s]with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut in half
Combine the juice of half a [whole]lime with the saffron and honey - this is your glaze
