Method

1.In a large bowl, combine chicken, orange juice, honey, oil, garlic and spices. Season, then gently toss until well combined.
2.Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
3.Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large roasting dish with baking paper.
4.Add chicken mixture to dish with juices. Mix figs, shallots and thyme through. Arrange orange slices over chicken.
5.Bake for 45-50 minutes, basting occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.

Make a quick garlic bread by beating a crushed garlic clove into 60g softened butter with snipped chives. Slice half a baguette into 2cm-thick slices (don’t cut all the way through), slather with butter, wrap in foil and bake at 180°C for 10-15 minutes, opening foil for the last 5 minutes.
