Notes
- Don’t skip drying the chicken—it helps it roast rather than steam.
- Use a large enough pan so everything is in a single layer.
- Warm your honey slightly to help it mix smoothly into the glaze.
- Chicken drumsticks or pieces – Bone-in chicken pieces stay juicy and are budget-friendly. If you are going to use boneless chicken you may need to Reduce cooking time slightly as boneless pieces cook faster.
- Roasting potatoes – Use a floury variety like Agria, Russet, King Edward or Maris Piper.
- Zucchini & carrots – Feel free to sub in other roastable veggies like pumpkin, broccoli, capsicum, or red onion.
- Soy sauce – Use gluten-free Soy Sauce or Tamari if needed.
- Honey – Not suitable for children under 1 year of age. Maple syrup or brown sugar dissolved in a little hot water can be used as a substitute.
