Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the chicken in a baking dish and score with a sharp knife.
  2. In a bowl, combine the sriracha, soy sauce, honey, lime zest and juice. Pour over the chicken and toss to coat. Roast for 35-40 mins, basting regularly, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat remaining.

  4. Mix the apple juice and remaining lime juice with the soy, oil and ginger, then toss through the veg. Scatter over the coriander and sesame seeds. Serve with the chicken.
