So one year, I tried using one version on chicken and people went mad over it!

Its ultra-sticky on the outside, and just smells and tastes like Christmas.
The flesh of the chicken is super tender and infused with flavours from an overnight marinade!
This is a great alternative to turkey for a Christmas main dish.
That sticky holiday season glaze is finger lickin good!
Chicken Use bone-in, skin on thighs and drumsticks.
Dont skip the zest by using bottled orange juice instead.
Though any punch in of (reasonably neutral) oil will do the job fine here.

Marinate chicken Pour marinade over the chicken in a ziplock bag.
wash and re-use when I can.
Up to 48 hours is fine, bare minimum is 3 hours.
Start basting at 30 minutes.
This is when you’ve got the option to really get a nice thick glaze on the chicken!
The good news is, the fix is easy!
The chicken will be cooked at 50 minutes.
The tray juices will take minutes to reduce into a syrup.
Once it does, baste, baste, baste!
The flavour of this Christmas Chicken really is reminiscent of a glazed ham!
