Orange, Honey, Soy & Basil Roast Chicken One Tray
Who doesn’t love roast chicken? Sometimes it’s good not to play with a classic but the humble chicken lends itself to so many delicious flavours. This is a brilliant spin on a Sunday Roast although it’s so easy to throw together it also works midweek. You could replace the whole bird with skin on chicken thighs or legs.

INGREDIENTS
1.5-2kg whole chicken
1 orange sliced⠀
200g mange tout

2 tbsp olive oil
Juice and zest of one orange
1 chilli chopped
2 tsp honey⠀
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 garlic cloves crushed
Place the potatoes and chicken in a roasting tray and pour over the marinade making sure you spoon some inside the cavity of the chicken.
