Prep time

Ingredients
- Soy Sauce: 3 tbsp soy sauce
- Oil: 2 tbsp oil
- Broccoli: 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
- Honey: 3 tbsp honey
- Rice: rice, to serve (optional)
- Sesame Seeds: 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Chicken Thighs: 8 skin-on chicken thighs
- Garlic & Ginger Paste: 1 tbsp garlic & ginger paste
Directions
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soy, honey, 1 tbsp of the oil and 1/2 tbsp garlic & ginger paste in a bowl. Pour over the chicken thighs and leave to marinate if you have time, but don't worry if not - they will be delicious either way. Tip the chicken with all the marinade into aroasting tin, skin-side up. Cook for 45 mins until sticky and the skin is crispy.
- When the chicken has 15 mins left, start cooking the rice following pack instructions, if using, and heat the remaining oil in afrying pan. Add the remaining garlic & ginger paste, sizzle for 1 min, then tip in the broccoli along with a splash of water. Cover and cook for 10 mins until tender, then take the lid off, tip the sesame seeds into the pan and give everything a good toss around. Season. Serve with the chicken, and all the caramelised bits from the bottom of the tin.
