A slow cooked dish that is easy to prepare and only has five main ingredients in it; these sticky marmalade chicken thighs are tender and moist with a sticky coating and make the perfect family supper. I used Mackays Christmas Marmalade with Cranberries and Spices for a special seasonal touch.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs (or 4 chicken breasts, skin on)
- 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil
- 300mls chicken stock
- 8 tablespoons marmalade (I used Mackays Christmas marmalade with cranberries)
- 1 tablespoon teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and pepper to taste

Directions
| Step 1 | Pre-heat oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4. |
| Step 2 | Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then place them in a large roasting tray. Add the oil and set the tray over a high heat on the hob or top of the AGA, and brown the skin until it is crispy, turning the thighs over for an even colour. |
| Step 3 | Mix the marmalade and thyme with the chicken stock and pour it over the chicken. |
| Step 4 | Bake in pre-heated oven for about 1 hour, or until the chicken meat almost falls of the bone and the gravy is a dark brown. Pour the gravy into a jug to serve if desired. |
| Step 5 | Serve immediately with the gravy, mashed or baked potatoes and seasonal greens. |
