Ingredients

1,5kg chicken thighs, bone in (6-8, depending on size)
1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 Tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 Tbsp Szechuan peppercorns
60ml soy sauce
90ml honey
For the sweetcorn:
1 cob per person

Instructions

Put the chicken thighs in a large dish. Mix together the remaining ingredients, then add to the chicken. Give it all a good mix, then cover and leave in the fridge for a minimum of one hour, but up to three days is fine.
When you’re ready to cook the chicken, heat the oven to 170°C, 150°C fan. Double-line a roasting tin with oiled foil (to save painful washing up) and add the chicken, skin-side up, with the marinade. Roast for 40 minutes, basting now and again, then turn up the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan and cook for 15 minutes until well browned and sticky.
For the corn, stand the cob upright, then run a knife down the cob to cut off the kernels. Stir-fry in butter, soy sauce and a pinch of dried chilli flakes for 2 to 3 minutes. Then serve with the chicken.

Notes

Fresh sweetcorn is a million miles away from anything in a can, and is worth the extra little bit of effort!
