This sticky pomegranate molasses chicken has a lovely sharpness and isn’t too sweet. I used chicken legs, but thighs, drumsticks or breasts would all work well. If you are using breasts, I would suggest reducing the cooking time to 25-30 minutes. Serve with roasted vegetable couscous and a leafy green salad.
