Method
- To make this chicken thigh recipe, preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
- In a large bowl, mix together the marmalade, olive oil, mustard, garlic, ginger and seasoning. Slash the chicken skin diagonally 3 times in each thigh/drumstick. Add the chicken to the bowl and coat it in the marmalade mixture.
- Spread the chicken pieces out in a large roasting tin and pour over any of the marmalade juices in the bowl.
- Thinly slice the clementines, or tangerines, and place over the chicken pieces, pressing some in between the pieces.
- Cover roasting tin with foil and place in the centre of the oven. Bake for 20 mins, then remove foil and bake for a further 30-40 mins, basting occasionally, until chicken is starting to turn golden and the juices run clear when flesh is pierced. Remove from the oven and sprinkle parsley over before serving.
