Chicken Legs in Honey and Soy Sauce with Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato

Ingredients for 3-4 portions:
  • 6 chicken legs or 3 chicken thighs cut in half
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into medium sized cubes
  • 350 gr Brussels sprouts (1 package)
  • A handful of dried chili flakes (optional)
For the marinade:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
  • 6 chicken legs or 3 chicken thighs cut in half
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into medium sized cubes
  • 350 gr Brussels sprouts (1 package)
  • A handful of dried chili flakes (optional)
For the marinade:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
Method:

Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and marinate the chicken overnight (or for at least 3 hours).

Heat the oven to 180°C.

Place the chicken, sweet potato cubes and Brussels sprouts in a baking dish, pour the marinade over everything and mix, cover with foil and put in the oven.

After 25 minutes turn over the chicken pieces and continue to bake for another 25 minutes.  (Keep the Brussels sprouts and the sweet potato cubes moist by basting with the juices that collect in the pan.)  Remove the foil cover, turn the chicken pieces over again and bake for another 10 minutes.  Turn the oven to upper grill for 5 minutes until everything is golden.  Be careful not to let it burn!  Remove from the oven, garnish with the chili and serve.
