Sticky Chicken and Veggie Bake

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

This delicious mid-week staple has been in my folder for an entire year.




 Yep, I actually cooked and photographed this Sticky Chicken and Veggie Bake last year.

I can't believed I waited so long to share the recipe with you but better later, than never!
The amounts in the marinade are what worked for me but if you like it spicier or less, feel free to adjust as you want!

Full Written Recipe:

Sticky Chicken and Veggie Bake

Adapted from Sorted Food 

Ingredients – serves approx. 4 people

1 Whole Chicken, cut into pieces or 2 Large Chicken Breasts

2 tablespoons Apricot Jam or Marmalade

2 tablespoons Tomato Ketchup

1 tablespoon Soy Sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

1 tablespoon Chilli and Garlic Sauce

3 Garlic Cloves, peeled and finely chopped

2 medium Potatoes, peeled and roughly diced

2 Bell Peppers, roughly chopped

1 Carrot, peeled and roughly chopped

Few tablespoons of Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Method

Into a bowl, place the chicken pieces, apricot jam, tomato ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chilli sauce and chopped garlic. Season with about 1 teaspoon of salt, or to taste. Mix well and cover to marinade for 30 minutes, a few hours or over night.

When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200 degrees C. Line a roasting tin with foil, and pop in the potatoes, carrots and peppers. Drizzle over olive oil along with salt and black pepper, to taste. Give them a good toss, and then arrange in a single layer.

Place the chicken pieces along with all the excess marinade over the veggies. Cover the tray with foil, and bake in the oven.

Bake for 1 hour but check after 45 minutes. Give the veg a poke with a knife to see if tender. Check if the chicken is cooked through.

If you want the bake with gravy at the bottom, then remove when baked and pour out the gravy. Otherwise, when it’s baked, uncover and roast for about 5 minutes.

Serve immediately!
