Moody Marmalade

Marmalade Chicken Roast

·       
    6 drumsticks, 6 wings.

For the marinade:

·       2 tbsp clear honey

·       3cm/1¼in piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated

·       1 garlic clove, crushed

·       1½ tsp Chinese five spice 

·       2 tsp soy sauce

·       3 tbsp orange marmalade 

·       ½ tsp grated orange zest

·       1 tbsp sesame oil

Slash the chicken drumsticks three to four times each with a sharp knife and place in a non-metallic bowl with the chicken wings. Mix together all of the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can, turning occasionally. 

Preheat the oven to 200. Transfer the chicken into a roasting tray with a couple of spoonsful of marinade. Place in the oven for about 50 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade and juices until thoroughly sticky and golden, adding extra marinade to the tray if necessary.
