How to make the sticky barbecue chicken marinade

Step 1

Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, Tate & Lyle Light Muscovado Sugar, rosemary and bay leaves in a large bowl. Add the chicken, garlic, lemons and seasoning and toss to lightly coat everything with the oily mixture. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.

TOP TIP

If you’re feeling extra adventurous, a dash of your favourite spice or hot sauce wouldn’t go amiss! If you opt for herbs, our recommendations include cayenne pepper, coriander or cumin, or perhaps even a sprinkle of paprika.

How to make the sticky barbecue chicken

Step 1

If cooking on a BBQ - arrange the chicken, garlic halves and lemons on the barbecue and cook over a moderate heat turning from time to time for about 20-35 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through and the garlic is tender. Transfer to a dish and serve.

Step 2

If cooking in the oven put in oven proof dish and cook in a preheated oven for 35 minutes at 220°C/Fan 200°, 425°F, Gas 7.

TOP TIP

We recommend serving your sticky barbecue chicken with Mediterranean vegetables, a pasta salad, or other meats. Halloumi is also usually a popular and welcome addition, particularly if you already plan to use the barbecue for your sticky chicken.

Beautiful, quick desserts that look great without any baking required... (Recipe links in bio.)
Forget the cherry, there's much better things you can pop on top of a cake these days!

Things like these personalised fondant cupcake decorations - an ideal way to turn your baking gifts up a notch.

Just follow the steps from @elliebakess to make your own...

Step 1: Dust your surface in icing sugar, I used @tateandlylesugars as this icing sugar
ensures your fondant doesn’t stick to the surface or your hands! (It’s also great for use
in everyday baking such as in buttercream or glace icing)
Step 2: Take your fondant icing and add a few drops of food colouring. Mix this
together with your hands until you have achieved your desired colour - I like to mix
until I get a marble effect.
Step 3: Take an outbosser stamp of your choice and firmly press this onto the fondant
icing. A rolling pin helps with this too.
Step 4: Carefully peel the fondant icing away from the stamp and use a cookie cutter
to cut it out into your desired shape - circles always work well for cupcake toppers.
Step 5: Paint the raised text in any colour (You can use edible paint for this or mix
lustre dust and alcohol to create your own) Enjoy!

Passionate preservers where are you!?

As well as marmalades and jams, our Pure Cane Preserving Sugar is a gateway to delicious jars of peaches, plums, gooseberries and all-sorts!

What would you make with this bag of Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Preserving Sugar?
Never let buttercream get the best of you... 

Once you know the basics, this classic filling and decoration is easy to master, as proved by the brilliant @elliebakess!

500g Tate & Lyle Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
1tsp Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Splash of milk (if needed)

 Mix the butter on medium speed for 5-10 minutes! (This is the most important part) the butter should go from pale yellow in colour to pale white
Add in your icing sugar a few tablespoons at a time. Add this gradually until all is combined.
Add in your vanilla extract and pinch of salt
If your buttercream is too stiff add in a splash of milk (only a little as you will not need much!)

TOP TIPS:
 Make sure your butter is softened! You can do this in 10 second bursts in the microwave
Add splashes of milk if it’s too stiff
We had to spoil things for you. But it isn't the carrots that make it taste so good...

For stronger notes of caramel and a softer, sticky texture, you can always count on our Light Muscovado.

We could have just popped some strawberries and cream in a bowl for Wimbledon... but that would have been too easy! 

So instead, we thought we'd introduce you all to Syllabub - an old favourite from the 16th century! Made by curdling sweet cream or milk with an acid such as wine or cider, it's like a sweet, sophisticated trifle.

Especially if you make it with Pimms like we have... 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

200 g strawberries 

100 ml Pimms

1 lemon

1 orange

For the Syllabub:

300 ml double cream

4 tbsps Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Cane Icing Sugar

Method:

1. Chop your strawberries into quarters and put into a large bowl, add the Pimms and juice of the lemon and orange to the bowl. Cover and chill preferably overnight at a minimum.
2 Take your strawberries and Pimms out of the fridge and spoon into trifle glasses.
3. Whisk your double and cream and icing sugar until it holds its shape but is still spoonable.
4. Top your trifle glasses with the cream mixture and pop some strawberries on top to garnish if you fancy. Best enjoyed on a summer afternoon with the match on the tv!
