Total Time 8 hours 50 minutes
Servings 2 portions

Ingredients

For the marinade

  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 bio orange zest and juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard I used a rather heaped teaspoon
  • 2 table spoons soja sauce
  • 4 table spoons date molasses
  • 2 table spoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Chicken

  • 2 pieces of chicken you can use whichever piece you like, I used rather large chicken breasts

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl, making sure you really get everything mixed together into a nice and soft marinade. Because of the different consistency of the different ingredients, this takes some time.
  • Place your chicken pieces into an oven proof dish just large enough to hold the chicken and the marinade. Cover the dish and let it rest in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours. I left it for 8 hours, turned the chicken pieces from time to time and was pleasantly surprised how soft the marinade had made the chicken. So if you have enough time, it is worth it!
  • Preheat the oven to 190° and once it is warm, roast the chicken for at least 20-25 minutes. The exact time really depends on your chicken pieces. Just make sure that when you poke a fork into your chicken, the juices are clear.
