This Chicken dish is so tasty nobody will believe that it didn't take hours or have a fabulous secret ingredient.
It's a really good recipe if
1. you are strapped for cash
2. you are not a fan of too many pots
2. you are short on time
or all 3!
I use large chicken legs as the thigh meat is so tasty and flavoursome. Plus they are a much cheaper cut when you are on a budget.
I allow 1 each and an extra few if there are hungry people being fed!
Serves 4
5/6 chicken legs with thigh still attached
2 tablespoons honey
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato puree (tomato ketchup can be used either)
2 tablespoons luke warm water
Method:
Place chicken legs in ovenproof dish that fits them comfortably without over-lapping.
To save on pots you can add the rest of the ingredients straight to the dish over the chicken.
The warm water will help to break down the honey and paste and make a nice sauce.
Swish chicken around in the dish to coat fully in sauce.
Cover chicken with lid or tinfoil and place in pre heated oven at 200/Gas 6 for 40 minutes.
Lower temperature to 180/Gas 4 and uncover for 10 minutes to brown.
Serve with a fresh salad or some lovely asparagus and your choice of potato or rice.
Serves 4
4 large potatoes (baby potatoes can be used either, really, whatever ones are to hand!)
Method:
Peel and chop potatoes into small cubes.
Place on baking tray.
Cover with a good dollop of olive oil.
Crush 4/5 garlic cloves with the back of a knife - skin still on.
Place on baking tray with the potatoes.
Cook on top shelf of the oven with chicken on shelf below.
After 15 minutes toss potatoes so they don't brown too much on one side.
Do it again after another 10 minutes.
The garlic gets a wonderful deep smoky flavour when roasted like this.
You can squeeze it from its shell and eat with the potatoes.
Serve the potatoes with the chicken and your choice of vegetable or salad and ENJOY!
Note: Garlic has great blood purifying properties so you will start to notice I use it in a lot of my dishes!
