Directions
In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, chilli flakes (if using), salt and pepper. This will form your marinade.
Place the chicken in a zip-lock bag or airtight container. Having done this often, I've found that a zip-lock bag helps the marinade to better envelop the chicken.
Pour the marinade into your bag or container with the chicken, making sure all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or container and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. Over the years, I've learnt that marinating overnight yields the best flavour penetration.
Once marinated, you can grill or roast the chicken. To grill, use medium-high heat and cook each side for 6-7 minutes or until properly cooked. If roasting, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Baste the chicken with any remaining marinate for additional taste.
Garnish with sesame seeds or spring onions if desired and serve.
