Turn the classic Kiwi roast chook up a notch this year with our oh-so-easy chicken tray bake. The perfect combination of sweet and savoury, we’ve transformed the humble chicken into a festive centerpiece.

Ingredients

  • 2kg or 10 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on

  • 2 Pams Red Onions, sliced into wedges

  • ½ cup Pams Dates, sliced in half

  • 2 Oranges, 1 sliced, the other juiced and zested

  • 3 Tbsp Pams Wholegrain Mustard

  • 1 Tbsp cumin seeds

Method

  1. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper and place in a single layer on a large baking tray. Arrange the onions, dates and sliced orange around the chicken pieces.

  2. Mix the mustard, orange zest and juice and a big glug of olive oil together in a small bowl and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle the cumin seeds over the chicken and add a splash of vinegar or water into bottom of the baking dish.

  3. Roast in the oven at 220°C fan bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through and caramelised. Serve the tray bake straight from the roasting dish, or transfer to a large serving platter.
