One pan sticky chicken

[Ultuous]

Gave this a go last night... awesome, despite by best attempts to incinerate it - I got through all 3 Thighs, 4 Drumsticks and the accompanying half bag of Jerseys during the course of the evening!!!

Doing this tonight but I've used skinned and boned thighs and stuffed them with garlic and thyme. We'll see!

Noice!

I'm eating my version of this as I type, just right to go with the new pots I dug up from the metal bucket in my back yard.

The only change I made was after the chicken had cooked I put the pan on the hob and added some balsamic vinegar to make more sauce and take a bit of the sweetness from the honey.

It was incredibly tasty. My only criticism is that it was slightly too dry for my liking. I think next time I'll go for skin on & bone in thighs then bone them myself. The skin should help keep it moist.

The garlic and thyme 'stuffing' worked really well though, the meat was very fragrant.

Keeping the bone in and skin on will keep it moist

Done this over the weekend. Its a tasty one pot dish which is cheap and very easy.

Tesco sell a pack of 3 chicken drum sticks and 3 chicken thighs for £2.00 special offer.

Place them in them in a pan skin side up. Smash up 5 garlic cloves (no need to peel) and place in and around chicken. Spinkle with Tyme. Drizzle with olive oil and honey and season. Place in the oven at 150c for approx 2 hrs for the last 20mins turn the oven up to 190c to crispen skin.

The skin is crisp and the meat falls of the bone.

Serve with salad and some boiled baby new potatos.

Total cost for a family of 4 £4.00

Enjoy

I did this last night and it was nice, so cheers, but I think next time I'd only cook the chicken for an hour and fifteen, it was a little dry.

Just made this!

Thanks for that!

I used beer as well as honey, garlic, chilli oil and thyme and sp

Took about 2 hours to cook but as you say it fell off the bone!

Gonna do this tonight as well.

Looks very tasty.

Not a big fan of new potatoes though so thinking either wedges or gratin - anyone got a good recipe for either?

My wedges are pretty regular - sprinkle with season and bung in oven.

Never made my own gratin ?

This looks pretty decent, although slicing up all those spuds will be a mare without a mandolin thing. Some cheese graters have a slicer side which is okay as long as you're careful!

Went for Cajun wedges...... it was very very good.

[calibrax]

Looks lovely, definitely going to try this soon!

On a side note, why is it called "one pan sticky chicken"? That implies that usually you'd need multiple pans, but this recipe improves on that... but how could you possibly end up using MORE than one pan to make sticky chicken?

Spotted a BOGOF on drumstick & thigh packs in Sainsbury's today so it would be rude not to have a go at this. (14 pieces for 3 quid, by the way.)

I do similar one pot stuff with chicken however I always avoid the cheapo chicken.
Even legs and thighs freerange are pretty cheap! Avoid that battery hen st!

Very similar in price to the cheap st breast. Yet with so much more flavour. It's a no-brainer really.

I'm going to attempt this tonight, with crispy potato thingies, ceasars salad and corn on the cob.

I am going to drizzle a tad of Sainsburys smokey BBQ and brown ale marinade on as well

[mcanny]

I've got this in the oven right now, thanks for the inspiration

Edit: Cracking chicken! Will have a play around the the recipe a bit now and see what happens but really pleased with the results based on this one.

I did 4 thighs and 6 legs in a fairly small oven dish so they were all packed in, full bulb of garlic just crushed slightly and scattered around, lots of thyme, honey, salt and pepper - 1:25 at 150 degrees in the fan oven and then 25 minutes at 190. Fall off the bone chicken, moist with a nice crispy skin. Lovely.

How did that work out? Usually leaving the bone/skin on is better as it keeps the moisture in.

I'm going to give this one a pop tonight, it sounds bloomin tasty and that photo above is making me drool already

[Ultuous]

Cooked this for 3 different occasions already - a godsend every time, particularly when I've wanted to entertain on the cheap and with minimal prep... here's last Sunday's attempt!

[Taita]

I've done this twice already, didn't have any honey so used sugar instead on attempt 1 - disaster.

Attempt 2 I used honey, found the skin quite tasty but the meat plain . Must be going wrong somewhere.
