INSTRUCTIO­NS

1 Preheat your oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas Mark 5. Combine the butter, marmalade, chilli and sea salt flakes, then spread underneath the skin of the chicken. Place the orange half in the cavity of the bird, squeezing it a little. Place the chicken on a baking tray, cover with foil and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear when the skin is pierced around the thigh. Remove from oven and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C/gas Mark 3.

2 For the marmalade drizzle, combine all the ingredient­s and adjust the spice to your preference.

3 Combine all the slaw ingredient­s, except the vinegar, and thoroughly mix. Add the vinegar just before serving, to retain the crunch. 4 Combine the garlic mayonnaise. 5 Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm through in the oven or griddle on a piping hot skillet.

6 Serve on one large platter (as pictured) and let everyone dive in and build their own tacos.
