Mum's Gluten Free Sticky Chicken
A perfect dish to be served cold at a summer party or BBQ. It's great for all occasions and all times of year. Can be served hot too, but I love it even more cold!
Ingredients
- 6-8 Chicken Thighs
- 6-8 Chicken Drumsticks
- 4 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tsp tabasco
- 2 tbsp black treacle molasses would work fine in place here!
- 2 tbsp honey or alternative... agave nectar or sweet freedom
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
Instructions
- Measure out your orange juice, tabasco, black treacle, honey & mustard into a small bowl.
- Whisk / mix thoroughly together.
- Place your chicken thighs and drumsticks into an oven proof dish (we sometimes cook the chicken is 2 separate oven proof dishes to make sure it all gets well cooked and marinaded).
- Prick all the chicken with a fork so the marinade can get into it as much as possible!
- Pour the sticky chicken marinade over the chicken & make sure the chicken gets coated (it will likely sit in plenty of the marinade too)
- Cover the dish with clingfilm & marinade in the fridge ideally over night, but a few hours will still be fine.
- Place in a preheated oven (180 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven proof dish & place in another dish to cool down completely. (Leave any of the juices & marinade behind)
- Keep in the fridge until ready to eat...
- Enjoy!
Notes
You can eat this cold as I have described as a dish at a BBQ/party BUT you can also eat it hot for dinner. We often have this on a day where we need a quick, easy dinner. Marinade it before work & when you come home put it in the oven. Serve with rice or maybe some sweet potato wedges. You might like to keep some of the marinade juices and pour over if eating hot (it tastes great soaked into rice!)
