Orange and aniseed chicken traybake

A version of this dish was the first dinner I ever cooked with my family when I was just 8 years old. I’ve updated the recipe a bit since then, but it’s still as easy as ever.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thigh cutlets, bone-in
  • 125 ml (½ cup) soy sauce
  • 175 g (½ cup) honey
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 orange, juice and grated rind

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a non-reactive bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place, skin -side up in a baking dish lined with baking paper. Roast for 25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.  
  4. While the chicken is cooking, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, skimming to remove any scum that rises to the surface.
  5. Remove the chicken from the baking dish, pour any juices into the saucepan with the marinade and simmer until reduced to a sauce thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
