Indian Chicken Bites

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a small bowl, mix together the spices. Set aside.

Cut each chicken thigh into 1-inch segments. Put in a separate bowl.

Add the spice mix and 1 tablespoon the oil to the chicken. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes or longer.

Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large, nonstick frying pan over very high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the chicken. Stir-fry quickly until the pieces are lightly browned or have turned opaque on the outside. Put the pieces in a baking dish, and cover loosely with lightly oiled wax paper (which should sit inside the dish and directly on top of the chicken pieces) and bake for 8–10 minutes or until the chicken pieces are just cooked through.

Note: If not to be eaten immediately, remove the pieces from the hot baking dish to prevent them from drying out.
