5 Spice Crispy Chicken with Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce & Green Apple & Thai Basil Slaw

October 6 2025

This isn’t your average crispy chicken dinner - it’s crispy, sticky, sweet, and just a little bit bold.

The five spice coating gives the chicken a gorgeous golden crunch, while a drizzle of maple syrup turns sticky and caramelised in the oven.

Balance it out with a fresh, zingy slaw - crisp apple, fragrant Thai basil, and a hint of lime.

Then there’s the dipping sauce - creamy, tangy, with just a touch of maple sweetness to tie it all together.

One bite and you’ll get crunch, spice, and that subtle maple magic in every mouthful.

Cottage Cheese & Maple Syrup Pancakes

These aren’t your average pancakes - they're a wholesome twist on a classic.

These Cottage Cheese and Maple Syrup Pancakes are high in protein thanks to the cottage cheese and have the most fantastic texture: light, moist and fluffy on the inside with crisp edges and a subtle tang.

They’re perfect served with a generous drizzle of pure Canadian maple syrup and fresh fruit - the strawberries and kiwi combo are a favourite.
