Chicken pieces glazed with honey, garlic and soy caramelize at the edges in a hot oven, and the broccoli beside them roasts until its tips are crisp. Boneless thighs stay juicy at high heat and soak up the glaze. Reserve some of the sauce to brush on at the end so the finish is glossy rather than burnt. Serve over rice to catch every drop of the sticky juices.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with baking paper.
- Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, vinegar and chili flakes in a bowl. Pour half into a small bowl and set aside for brushing.
- Add the chicken to the first bowl, toss to coat and leave for 10 minutes.
- Toss the broccoli with the oil and salt on the tray and push it to one side. Lift the chicken out with tongs, arrange it on the other side in one layer and discard the used marinade.
- Roast for 12 minutes. Brush the chicken with half the reserved glaze and turn the broccoli.
- Roast for 8 to 10 minutes more, until the chicken reads 74°C (165°F) and the glaze is sticky and browned at the edges.
- Brush with the last of the glaze, scatter with sesame seeds and spring onions and serve with rice.
Tips
- Line the tray with baking paper, because honey glaze sticks and scorches on bare metal. If the edges darken too fast, tent the tray loosely with foil.
- Chicken breast cut into 3 cm (1 inch) chunks also works. Shorten the roasting time by about 5 minutes.
