For a quick and easy marinade, you really can’t go past this combination.
Sweet, sticky and spicy are all great flavours to combine with some roasted chicken for a healthy eating meal.
Try serving this with some brown rice, stir fried Asian greens such as bok choy, or some corn on the cob for a feast for the senses.
Making your own healthy eating marinade is simple once you have the basics in the pantry.
Simply blitz it all in a food processor and you’re good to go.
Naturally you can leave out the chilli if you are making this for kids – or add even more if you like it hot!
