Description

Sweet, sticky chicken with a mild bite from the Sriracha. The marinating time ensures that the chicken is well-flavoured and tender once roasted. Delicious!

Ingredients

Marinated Chicken

1 C (250 ml) Rugani Carrot and Pineapple Juice
3 Tbsp (45 ml / 60 g) honey
2 Tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
2 Tbsp (30 ml) Sriracha sauce
8 (800 g) free-range chicken drumsticks

Salsa

1½ C (375 ml / 270 g) cocktail tomatoes, halved
1½ C (375 ml / 270 g) cucumber, diced
¾ (100 g) red onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
salt and pepper

Instructions

Marinated Chicken

Whisk the juice, honey, soy sauce and Sriracha sauce together. Pour it into a large Ziploc bag; add the chicken and leave to marinade in the fridge for at least 40 minutes or overnight.

Pre-heat the oven to 200 °C. Add the chicken with the sauce to a baking dish and roast for 45 minutes.

Salsa

Combine all of the ingredients and season to taste. Top each portion of chicken with some salsa and scatter a bit of coriander on top.

Notes

For a non-spicy version replace the Sriracha with tomato sauce.
