Method

Glazed Honey and Soy Chicken With Sweet Chilli Sauce is a community recipe submitted by Mariavil and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

Preheat oven to 180C (350F).

Stir all the ingredients, except the chicken, together in a small bowl.

Put the chicken in a bowl or flat dish, pour the marinade over and mix with your hands to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place, with the skin side up, in a roasting tin. Bake for 45 minutes, frequently turning the drumsticks over as they brown, and basting the chicken every 15 minutes with extra marinade.

For the Sweet Chilli Sauce:

Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

Bring to the boil, then cook for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a slightly syrupy consistency.
