marinade, using your hands until evenIy coated. Leave to
marinate for at least 30 mins.

Heat the oven to 200C/ 180C

chicken to fit snugly inside. Put the thighs skin-side up
in the roasting tin and pour over the marinade. Roast for
40 mins, basting halfway through. Turn up the heat to
220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for another 20-25 mins until
the skin is crisp.

spring onions, parsley or coriander and sesame seeds, and
drizzle over any remaining sauce from the tin.

Strip any leftover chicken
from the bone and store it in an airtight container with
any extra sauce. Leave to cool completely, then chill for
up to two days. It can be used as a base for a delicious
chicken stir-fry.
