Mary Berry's honey mustard chicken is the perfect "all-in-one" meal, combining flavourful chicken legs with crispy roast potatoes for a hearty dinner. When made as per the instructions, this dish serves four to six people and can be prepped in just a few minutes.
Sharing the recipe from the BBC series Mary's Foolproof Dinners, Happy Foodie stated: "Great for a gang, especially if you have hungry teenagers. An all-in-one roasting tin - just serve with salad or a fresh slaw. You will need a large roasting tin, so the liquid evaporates and the potatoes can get crispy."
Mary Berry's honey mustard chicken recipeIngredients
Four chicken legs
750g new potatoes, halved or cut into three if big
Two tbsp olive oil
For the honey and mustard glaze:
Two tbsp grainy mustard
Three tbsp tomato ketchup
One tbsp Worcestershire sauce
One clove garlic, finely grated
One tbsp honey
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C (or 200C for fan-assisted ovens), or gas mark seven. Line a large, shallow roasting tray with non-stick parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the glaze.
Using a sharp knife, make three shallow cuts across the skin of each chicken leg, cutting slightly into the meat. Arrange the chicken legs, skin-side up, on one half of the roasting tray. Brush the glaze generously over the chicken and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a separate bowl, combine the new potatoes with olive oil and seasoning. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated in the oil. Spread them out on the other half of the roasting tray, taking care not to let them overlap with the chicken. Roast in the preheated oven for around 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a plate and cover with foil to rest. Meanwhile, turn the potatoes in the tray to coat them in any remaining glaze, spreading them out in a single layer. Return the tray to the oven for an additional eight to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are crisp and golden.
Serve the chicken and potatoes alongside a side salad or some steamed veggies.
