Chicken Traybake with Orange and Fennel
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cooking Time 1 hour
Serves 6

2 large fennel bulbs or 3 smaller (about 1kg in total)
100ml of extra virgin olive oil plus 1 tablespoon for drizzling on cooking chicken
Meat and juice of 1 orange and 1 lemon
2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
6 teaspoons fennel seeds
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
12 chicken thighs, skin on and bone in – preferably organic

Remove fennel fronds and place in a resealable bag for serving. Cut the bulbs into quarters and then each quarter into three pieces lengthwise.
Combine the oil, meat and juice, mustard, fennel seeds and salt in a jug and give a good stir.
In a large resealable bag, place a quarter of the chicken pieces, followed by a quarter of the fennel and so on until the bag is full. Then pour the marinade into the bag and seal well. Lay the bag on a flat surface and squelch the marinade evenly all over the chicken and fennel.
Leave in the fridge overnight or up to a day. If you are pushed for time, leave it for an hour in a cool place.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200c and remove the chicken and fennel from the fridge, pouring it into a shallow roasting pan, marinade and all. Arrange the chicken, skin side up on the fennel and leave to come up to room temperature for around thirty minutes.
Drizzle the oil over the chicken and roast for 1 hour.

When fennel is soft and chicken nicely browned, remove from the oven and slide onto a warm serving dish. Boil the remaining sauce on the stovetop, stirring for a few minutes until it becomes syrupy.
Pour over the chicken and fennel then tear the reserved fennel fronds over the dish and serve.
