  • 200g lemon marmalade
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • small knob of ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sunflower oil
  • juice and zest 1 lemon
  • 8 chicken thighs, skin on and bone in
  • 2 spring onions, sliced diagonally

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the marmalade, garlic, ginger, soy, oil and half the lemon juice. Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking tray lined with foil and spoon over half the marmalade mixture. Roast in the oven for 15 mins.
