Cook in a preheated oven oven for approximately 11/2 hours, start high at 220C then reduce to 180C/350F/gas 4.

Sauce: Dilute a little cornflour and keep aside. Bring all the other ingredients together in a pan and boil. Add the cornflour mix and stir thoroughly until thickened. Serve with the chicken.
