Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Arrange the chicken in a layer, skin-side up, in a shallow ovenproof dish. Put all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and warm in the microwave or a small pan for 1 min. Stir everything together and pour over the chicken.

  • step 2

    Roast the chicken for 30-40 mins, basting every 10 mins. The juices will gradually thicken and give the chicken a shiny coating. Leave the chicken to stand for 5 mins before serving with new potatoes and a green salad.

Really easy and very tasty but the marinade didn't go thick and sticky at all, it was very runny so I ended up removing the liquid from the chicken and reduced it down in a saucepan on the hob, I even added a bit of corn flour to thicken it. No big problem, it was actually delicious! Will definitely…

Hi. I've just used your recipe for cooking lemon chicken, which was very tasty, my question is related to the sauce, I warmed up the ingredients in the microwave, basted the chicken every 10 minutes as suggested, however the the sauce didn't thicken at all, could you tell me where I went wrong…
