Preheat the oven Gas Mark 3, 170°C (325°F). 

To prepare the marinade: In a large bowl mix together the honey, soy, water, garlic, ginger and a little black pepper. Add the chicken and mix well.  

To cook: Line a roasting tin with baking parchment then place the chicken thighs in the roasting tin in a single layer. Place the roasting tin in the preheated oven and cook for 45-50 minutes. Baste the chicken a few times while cooking. For the last 15 minutes increase the heat to Gas Mark 5, 190°C (375°F). When the chicken is cooked remove the roasting tin from the oven, place the chicken on a serving dish and sprinkle over half the sesame seeds. Reserve the cooking liquid.  

To make the salad: Cook the noodles as per the packet instructions. Drain and place in a bowl. Stir through 2 tablespoons of the chicken cooking liquid, the lime zest and juice, red chilli, scallions, sugar snap peas, the reserved sesame seeds and the coriander leaves. Mix well, taste and season. 

To serve: Serve the chicken along with the noodle salad.
