All-Weather Barbecue Chicken

All-Weather Barbecue Chicken

Ingredients:

4 large chicken legs with skin on

75ml tomato sauce

15g soft brown sugar

50ml clear honey

Juice of half a lemon

2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200˚C. Slash through the skin of each chicken leg across the bone and arrange the legs in a large roasting tin. Roast for 30 minutes. Pour off any excess fat from the roasting tin.

Whisk together the tomato sauce, sugar, honey, lemon juice and garlic. Brush the mixture over the chicken and cook for a further 25 minutes, basting a couple of times with the cooking juices until the chicken pieces begin to caramelise.

Check that the chicken is cooked through – the juices should run clear when the thickest part of the leg is pierced with a skewer. Serve immediately.
