Sticky orange and mustard chicken

Sticky Orange and Mustard Chicken is a tangy and sweet dish that combines the bold flavours of citrus and mustard with a rich, sticky glaze. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of fresh orange juice, zest, Dijon mustard, garlic, and a bit of honey or brown sugar for sweetness. When cooked, the glaze caramelizes, creating a beautiful sticky coating on the chicken, while the orange adds a refreshing, citrusy kick and the mustard gives it a slight tang. This dish is full of bold, vibrant flavours and pairs perfectly with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Ingredients

Ingredients (serves 4):

1 (1.6kg) whole fresh chicken, cut into quarters

1 tablespoon olive oil

500ml (2 cups) hot water

Baby rocket leaves, to serve

Lemon wedges, to serve

Fot the orange mustard glaze:

185ml (¾ cup) orange juice

170g (½ cup) orange marmalade

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard

2 tablespoons rosemary sprigs

1 tablespoon lemon thyme sprigs

2 garlic cloves, crushed

Instructions

Method:

Preheat oven to 180C.

To make the orange mustard glaze, combine the orange juice, marmalade, sugar, mustard, rosemary, thyme and garlic in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until marmalade dissolves.

Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes or until glaze thickens. Remove from heat.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until browned.

Combine the water and 2 tablespoons of the glaze in a roasting pan. Place chicken, skin-side down, in the mixture. Cover with foil and bake, turning once, for 45 minutes or until just cooked through.

Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill on medium heat.

Brush chicken with the remaining glaze and cook, turning for 5 minutes or until caramelized and golden brown.

Transfer to a serving plate. Serve with baby rocket leaves and lemon wedges.
