Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Slash the skin on each chicken thigh 2-3 times. Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Toss the chicken in the marinade until completely coated, then either cook straight away or cover and chill for a few hrs to marinate.
  2. To cook, place the chicken in a shallow roasting tin in a single layer and pour over the marinade. Bake for 35-40 mins. Drizzle with honey, place under a medium grill and cook for 3 mins more, until the skin is golden and crisp.
  3. Place the chicken on a serving plate and tip all the cooking juices into a small saucepan, pouring off any excess fat. Over a medium heat, bubble down the juices until thick and syrupy. Drizzle over the chicken and scatter with coriander.

    This is lovely. I doubled the quantity and I used skinned chicken which worked well. Sadly , it was too delicious! They keep asking when they come back for more! Aaaah!

    Tamari is a sort of soy sauce, available at supermarkets and health shops. This was delicious, and the children loved it too. Will make again!

    Really delicious! I used soy sauce instead of tamaria & fresh ginger instead of the stem ginger. Went down a treat for a quick and easy dinner. I served it with a side grenn salad and crusty bread. Be warned, make extra as everyone will want more!

    Hi I made this for the first time last night for OH and me. OH gave it 11 out of 10 so he was very impressed and so was I. I did change some of the ingredients as OH doesn't like ginger and is unable to have anything too spicy which is a shame as I love both. I used the juice of one fresh lemon for the zing, soy sauce instead of tamari and red pepper instead of the chillies. I know it sounds like I reinvented something else but it was delicious. Will be making it again soon.

    Used Ginger Conserve in the marinade instead of stem ginger, so I didn't need to add the extra sweetness of honey at the end. Other alterations were soy sauce instead of tamari and used saki as the rice wine. The result was really simple to make and really delicious to eat, even though I didn't have time to marinade the chicken.
