Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soy, honey and half of the oil and garlic & ginger paste in a bowl. Pour over the chicken thighs and leave to marinate if you have time, but don’t worry if not – they will be delicious either way. Tip the chicken with all the marinade into a roasting tin, skin-side up. Cook for 35 mins until sticky and the skin is crispy.
Step 2
If using ready to heat rice then cook according to packet instructions 2 minutes before serving. Otherwise, when the chicken has 15 mins left, start cooking the rice following pack instructions, if using.
Step 3
Heat the remaining oil in a saute pan. Add the remaining garlic & ginger paste, sizzle for 10 seconds, then tip in the broccoli florets along with a splash of water. Cover and cook for 10 mins until tender, then take the lid off, tip the sesame seeds into the pan and give everything a good toss around. Season with salt.
Step 4
Serve with the chicken, and all the caramelised bits from the bottom of the tin with the sesame broccoli and the rice (if using).
