How to make Mary Berry's sticky honey garlic chicken

Ingredients:

Six chicken legs

Six tablespoons of tomato ketchup

Six tablespoons of tomato puree

Two tablespoons of grainy mustard

Three tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce

Two tablespoons of runny honey

One garlic clove, crushed

Method:

Using a sharp knife, start the recipe by making small slits in the top of the chicken legs, and arrange together in a shallow baking dish.

Simply measure out the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and stir together until combined.

Pour over the chicken and toss to coat well. If you have time, cover and place the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Then, preheat the oven to 220C or 200C Fan before lining a roasting tin with baking paper.

Arrange the chicken legs on top, in a single layer, so they cook evenly. Spoon over the marinade and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until sticky, golden and cooked through.

Serve hot on their own, alongside potatoes, rice or with a delicious salad. This dinner is quick, easy and delicious, perfect for midweek meals.
