Sticky Glazed Christmas Chicken
Recipe video above. Everybody loves the glaze on a Christmas ham. So one year, I used it for chicken instead and people went mad over it! Easier and cheaper than ham, with a much higher ratio of glaze to meat, this is so good I've actually had people tell me they love this more than Christmas ham!!It's ultra-sticky on the outside, and smells and tastes like Christmas. The meat is super tender – we've practically slow cooked the chicken!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Marinate Chicken
2
Mix Marinade ingredients in a jug. Pour over chicken in a large ziplock bag (Note 2). Massage to coat, then marinate chicken for ideally ⏱️ 24 hours (bare minimum is ⏱️ 3 hrs, ⏱️ 12 hrs is ok).
3
Cook
4
Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
5
Line 2 trays with foil then parchment/baking paper (you'll thank me later).
6
Distribute chicken on trays, then pour the marinade over. Roast ⏱️ 30 minutes.
7
Roast for a further ⏱️ 20 minutes, basting with pan juices 2 or 3 more times until the chicken is deep golden and sticky. At first, the juices will be watery but in the final ⏱️ 10 minutes or so, they will thicken and darken. Once this happens, baste more frequently and heavily. (Note 4)
8
When the top tray is almost ready, switch the tray positions (ie move bottom tray up and put the top tray undenerath) so they finish at the same time. GOAL: Deep golden and sticky chicken!
9
Before plating up, baste again with the sticky juices.

Serving suggestion: Spread leafy greens on a platter, pile on sticky chicken. Decorate with orange slices or wedges.
