Marinating
- Mix all marinade ingredients together in a jug. Pour over the chicken pieces in a large ziplock bag and massage the marinade into the chicken to coat thoroughly. Marinate ideally for 24 hours, but a minimum of 3 hours and preferably at least 12 hours is acceptable to allow deep flavor absorption.
Roasting
- Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan assisted). Line two baking trays with foil, then cover with parchment or baking paper.
- Distribute the marinated chicken pieces evenly on the lined trays, then pour any remaining marinade over the chicken. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, continue roasting for a further 20 minutes, basting the chicken 2 to 3 times with the pan juices.
- When the top tray is nearly cooked, swap the positions of the trays so both trays finish cooking evenly.
- Before plating, baste the chicken one last time with the sticky glaze from the tray. Arrange a bed of leafy greens on a serving platter, pile the sticky glazed chicken on top, and garnish with orange slices or wedges and orange zest curls.

Notes
This dish is incredibly versatile; feel free to swap chicken with your favorite protein like pork or tofu. Adding a splash of soy sauce or chili flakes can enhance the flavor profile.
