- 4 chicken breasts, skin on
- 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 175 ml orange juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
directions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C,Gas 7.
- Using a rolling pin, crush the black peppercorns.
- Then place along with the cinnamon, cumin, oregano and garlic into a bowl large enough to take the chicken breasts. Mix well.

- Add the chicken and coat in the marinade.
- Leave for at least 1 hour.
- Drain, then place the chicken into a baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes.

- Meanwhile, pop the marinade into a saucepan and cook over a gentle heat until it goes thick and syrupy.
- Cut each cooked breast into three pieces and drizzle over the reduced glaze.
- Serve with plain boiled rice or mashed potatoes with a few chopped spring onions stirred through at the last moment.
