This heady, spiced chicken is marinated in Chinese 5 spice and then roasted in the oven with vegetables for a super tasty, quick midweek meal.

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken thigh fillets, skin left
  • 1 heaped tsp of Chinese 5 spice
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • To serve:
  • Lime wedges
  • Egg noodles, tossed in sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken fillets in an ovenproof dish and toss in the Chinese 5 Spice, garlic, ginger, onion, and vegetable oil. Toss well to make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the spice mixture. Cover with cling film and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Arrange the chicken skin side up and roast for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken skin is burnished and the flesh cooked through. Serve with egg noodles, tossed through with sesame oil and lime wedges.
