Soy and Honey Chicken

Good Pair Days (Roos Michels) -
  • 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp veg oil
  • 1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
  • 8 skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • Cooked rice, to serve
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. In a bowl, mix the soy, honey, 1 tbsp of oil, and ½ tbsp of the ginger and garlic paste. Pour the lot over the meat, and leave to marinate for at least half an hour. Tip the chicken into a roasting tin, and roast for 45 mins skin-side up.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Add the rest of your ginger and garlic paste, sizzle for a minute and then tip in the broccoli florets with a splash of water. Cover, cook for 10 mins, then toss in the sesame seeds and give the pan a good shake. Serve with the chicken, being sure to scrape up all the tasty crispy bits from the roasting tin!
