Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Combine the orange juice and zest with the lime juice and zest, the fish sauce, chilli, honey, 1 tbsp of the oil, the ginger and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken thighs, season and toss to coat.

  • step 2

    Tip the broccoli, mixed grains, stock and remaining oil into a large roasting tin, and stir well. Nestle the orange slices and chicken thighs on top, skin-side up, and spoon over half the marinade from the bowl. Roast for 20 mins, then spoon over the remaining marinade. Roast for a further 20-25 mins, or until the chicken thighs are golden, sticky and cooked through. Serve with the coriander scattered over the top.

Sounds good but has anyone tried making this with chicken breasts (either with skin on or not) and reducing the cooking time?

Really delicious. I have made this a couple of times and haven’t been disappointed.

Zoe Kenward-Coe

Really disappointed in this recipe. Was really hoping for something tasty and different.

Delicious. Used wheat - didn’t precook it. Added some cooking wine and did the feta cheese suggestion - a very good tip. Didn’t use orange pieces. Will definitely be making again!

It was very orange tasting! Not inedible but I won’t be making it again!
