Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C bake.

Mix marinade ingredients together in a bowl and stir well. Pour into a flat dish and marinade chicken, skin-side down, for 45 minutes.

Line a roasting dish with baking paper. Transfer chicken to the roasting dish, reserving the marinade. Cook, covered with tin foil, for 20-25 minutes. Remove tin foil, using a little to wrap the ends of the wings or any other sections that look brown. Continue cooking chicken, uncovered, for another 20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and rest, covered, for 10 minutes. (Check chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the breast - liquid should come out clear.)

Meanwhile, heat remaining marinade (including star anise) until boiling. Taking care it doesn't boil over, reduce marinade until it is sticky and dark.

Pour a little oil into a griddle pan. Sear spring onions, pressing to get a good char. Turn until all sides are charred.

To serve, pour a little of the marinade over the chicken and transfer the remainder into a jug or bowl. Decorate chicken with toasted sesame seeds, chopped spring onion and chilli. Serve with rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds and charred spring onions.
