Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Mix the new potato halves together with the sunflower oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper and place in a large roasting tin. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the Pimms, soy sauce, orange zest, crushed garlic and sunflower oil , plus a little salt and black pepper, to make a thick glaze.
- Take the roasting tray out of the oven and add the orange and lemon chunks, tossing with the potatoes. Arrange the chicken thighs and drumsticks in the roasting tin on top of the potatoes. Usea pastry brush to brush a generous coating of the glaze onto each chicken piece, turning to coat both sides.
- Roast for 1 hour or until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Serve with green beans, mint and the sauce from the pan.
