Ingredients

  • 4 whole chicken legs
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 7 spring onions, 6 trimmed and cut into lengths, 1 finely sliced to serve
  • 300g long-stemmed broccoli, trimmed, larger stems halved
  • 320g frozen edamame beans or peas

GOCHUJANG GLAZE

  • 4 tbsp gochujang
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • grated to make 2 tsp ginger
  • 2 tbsp soft light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put the chicken legs in a baking tray, rub with the oil and season. Roast for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, put the gochujang glaze ingredients in a small pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until thickened slightly. Remove from the heat.

  • STEP 2

    Tip the sweet potatoes, spring onions and broccoli in the tray with the chicken, and toss everything to coat in the juices and oil. Roast for a further 20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender, and the broccoli stalks are starting to soften.

  • STEP 3

    Spoon the glaze over the chicken in the tray, and stir any remaining through the sweet potatoes and broccoli. Roast for a further 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Pour a kettle of just-boiled water over the beans or peas in a bowl, and leave to thaw and cook gently. Stir them through the traybake and top with some finely sliced spring onions to serve.
