This one-dish dinner ticks all the boxes. In season colourful yams are delicious roasted with an orange glaze and with the addition of cheap and cheerful chicken drumsticks you have a meal full of winter nutrition, colour and flavour.
zest of ½ an orange
¾ cup orange juice
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
½ tsp salt
1–1.5 kgs chicken drumsticks
500g yams
2 large rosemary sprigs
Mix the orange zest, orange juice, honey, mustard and salt together.
Preheat oven to 200°C. Arrange the chicken and yams on a large baking dish and sprinkle with rosemary. Pour over orange mixture and cook, basting with pan juices every 10 minutes, for 35–45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp.
