Honey-glazed Chicken

Serves 4 Prep 5 min Cook 25 min

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp clear honey
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 orange, grated rind and juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 chicken thighs, slashed twice
  •   seasoning

Method

  1. Light the barbecue or preheat a conventional oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Mix together the honey, cumin, orange rind and juice, oil and seasoning. Brush over the chicken.
  2. Cook the chicken on the barbecue or in the oven for about 25 minutes, basting and turning occasionally.
  3. Place any marinade that is remaining in a small pan, bring to the boil and cook for 1-2 minutes. Serve the sauce with chicken, baked potatoes and a green salad.

Notes

For an even better flavour, marinate the chicken for 2-3 hours in the fridge before cooking. Serve with a raita of grated cucumber, thick yogurt and chopped fresh mint. You can also cook a whole chicken this way. Bake at 200C/400F/Gas 6, allowing 20 minutes per 450g/1lb plus 20 minutes. Rest for 15 minutes before carving.
