Instructions

  • PREPARE: Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas 6.
  • MARINATE THE CHICKEN THIGHS: Trim the chicken thighs of any excess skin, then toss together with the orange juice and slices, maple syrup, soy sauce, mustard garlic, herbs and chilli flakes. Season well with salt and pepper. Marinate for up to 24 hours.
  • ROAST: Pour the chicken mixture into a deep-sided roasting tin, add the onions, and tuck them slightly under the chicken thighs. Drizzle over a tiny bit of oil, then roast in the preheated oven for 50 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • REST: Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes (this will make it even more juicy and delicious).
  • SERVE: Serve garnished with fresh parsley and mashed potatoes, rice or bread. Squeeze over a little lemon juice just before serving.

Notes

If I am marinating the chicken overnight, I use a glass bowl, large resealable plastic bag or airtight container.
