One pan sticky chicken
Discussion
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

goes to show that keeping it simple is the way forward.
Mostly agree. As long as something sounds good the fewer ingredients it has the more likely I am to make it 
I also find when something contains a lot of different things it's easier to bugger up the flavour...too many variables

Bet it would be good with lemon and rosemary instead of the thyme...
Might have to give it a whirl next time I have some chicken
A bit of a bump but I'm still churning variations of this one out on a regular basis and last night it got the lemon treatment.Might have to give it a whirl next time I have some chicken
I loved it, my OH said there was a bit too much going on and the chicken was overshadowed but for me the chicken is just there to hold the flavours anyway.
Ingredients:
6 large chicken thighs
12 shallots, peeled and halved
1 bulb of garlic, split but in skin
A generous handful of fresh thyme, some leaves, some whole stalks
2 unwaxed lemons cut into 1/8 pieces
1 tsp of chilli flakes
A generous covering of honey
Baked in the oven at 150C for 75 minutes and then another 30 minutes at 190C (fan assisted).
The baked lemon and honey combo worked really well and all the juices combined to give a nice thin sauce to contrast the crispy skin of the chicken.
Prior to this I did a version with 5 spice, dark and light soy, garlic and golden syrup, that was rather nice too.
I just wanted to say thanks again for the inspiration on this one, it seems to have hit a button for me and I've enjoyed many a tasty meal as a result.
The original recipe is still going strong in the Melman household, been doing this one a week since the original post!!

Gonna have a go of this tonight, again as the poster above has asked, How much honey should i use or just do enough to cover the chicken?
I tend to drizzle a little honey over each piece of chicken. If you want it sweeter add more!! enjoy.You can also add a little chilli for heat!
glad you enjoyed it
