Marinated chicken

Don't confine sugar to desserts. Set it free on main courses like marinated chicken with mango relish.

The secret life of sugar

Paul shows us a lovely Italian meringue, and a honeycomb to die for. In between he exposes the secrets of sugar.

Ingredients

  • 250g (9oz) demerara sugar
  • 250g (9oz) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup
  • 75g (3oz) butter
  • 60g (2½oz) glucose liquid
  • 2 tbsp baking powder

To serve

  • 200g (7oz) melted milk chocolate

Special equipment

  • deep baking tray

Method

  1. Line the baking tray with baking parchment.
  2. Put the sugar, water, golden syrup, butter and glucose into a pan and bring to the boil. When boiling, add the baking powder and shake rigorously. The mixture will puff up.
  3. Immediately pour the mixture into the lined baking tray and allow to cool.
  4. To serve, break the honeycomb into chunks and dip in melted chocolate.
