2 tbsn maple syrup
2 tbsn Gochujang paste
2 tbsn - rice vinegar

- Submerge the chicken drummies and thighs into the marinade, cover and leave to marinate 4 hours (or overnight for best result)
- pre-heat the oven to 180deg C
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and remove the chicken from the marinade, lay them out onto the baking tray
- Reserve the marinade for basting during the cook
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes
- After 20 minutes, take out the chicken and spoon over the marinade (a couple of spoons should do)
- Repeat this process so it's 40 minutes total cooking time with basting
- Remove the chicken and carefully place onto a plate
- To serve, plate the chicken and sprinkle the sesame seeds and chives all over the chicken
