Baby Asparagus               one bunch (or more)

Oil                                    2 tablespoons

Salt                                   to taste

Pepper                              to taste

For the sauce:

Soy sauce               3 tablespoons
Ketchup                  2 tablespoons

Hot sauce               4 teaspoons

Honey                    2 tablespoons

Water                     1/4 cup

Recipe

1. Butterfly cut the chicken or in simple terms just slice the chicken vertically, but not all the way through. Cover it with cling film wrapper, take a mullet, a pan or anything heavy enough and pound the chicken. Channel you inner character issues and writer block anger onto the chicken.

2. Season the chicken with salt and paper once it is an inch thick. If you like it a bit spicy, add half a teaspoon of chili flakes. Set it aside. 

3. Take a sauce pan and add soy sauce, ketchup, honey, Tabasco sauce, honey and water. Give it a stir. Let it thicken a bit and then add your asparagus. If you are feeling lazy or need  to get done quickly, just use ready made BBQ sauce. 

4. Once the sauce is thick and the asparagus is cooked, take it off the stove. Let it cool. Take the asparagus out. 

5. Take the chicken fillets, place the asparagus in the middle, and roll the chicken. Hold it in place using toothpicks.

                   

6. Take a non-stick pan, add your oil and let it heat. Place the chicken in the pan and let it cook for 5 minutes on medium high. Turn it over and then add the sauce. Let it cook for another 10 minutes.

7.Dish it with a lettuce and cherry tomatoes or fried potatoes. Your Chicken Asparagus Roll ups are done!
