Sticky hoisin chicken on tenderstem broccoli

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp (45ml) hoisin sauce
• 3 Tbsp (45ml) honey
• 3 Tbsp (45ml) soy sauce
• 4 chicken leg quarters
• Salt and milled pepper
• 2 packets (200g each) broccoli stems, blanched
• 1 Tbsp (15ml) sesame oil

For serving:

• Toasted sesame seeds
• Chopped cashews
• Fresh coriander
• Sliced radishes

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Combine hoisin, honey and soy sauce.
3. Toss chicken in mixture and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
4. Remove chicken from marinade and place on a baking tray.
5. Season lightly and bake for 45-55 minutes, brushing regularly with marinade. (Once meat is cooked, marinade will become sticky and dark on the skin.)
6. Toss broccoli in sesame oil.
7. Serve chicken quarters on a bed of broccoli, scattered with handfuls of sesame seeds, cashews, coriander and radish slices.

COOK’S NOTE: Can’t find chicken leg quarters? No problem – use a combination of drumsticks and thighs, and reduce cooking time by 5-8 minutes.
