- 8-12 pieces of mixed chicken thighs and drumsticks
- 4 Tbsp mandarin or orange marmalade
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp grated ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper
- 4 mandarins, clementines or tangerines

Instructions
- Wipe the chicken clean with paper towels then prick the skin (not flesh) all over with a sharp knife.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Mix the marmalade, mustard, oil, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Glaze the chicken pieces with this mixture and put them into a roasting tin. Pour the leftover mixture over them.
- Slice the mandarins into rounds, put most of these on top of the chicken - squeeze a few over the chicken.
- Cover the tin with foil and put it in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and roast for a further 30-40 minutes until golden brown, occasionally basting the chicken with the juices.
- Scatter the parsley on top just before serving.
