Alternatively, cook chicken on BBQ grill. Brush grill with an oiled paper towel, place chicken onto grill, skin-side-down, for about 8 minutes until browned. Turn chicken and cook for a further 25-30 minutes, turning every 8−10 minutes. If the skin is darkening too quickly, reduce temperature and cook a little longer.


Ingredients

BBQ Butterflied chicken

  • 1 butterflied chicken
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon

Potato Salad

  • 800g baby potatoes, diced 3cm
  • 200g green beans
  • 1-2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Blackened Corn

  • 2 corn cobs, peeled and cut into 3 pieces
  • 1 tablespoon corn spices
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

To Serve

  • 125g sour cream
  • ½ lemon, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a roasting dish with baking paper. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ grill to medium (if using). Pat chicken dry and lay, skin-side-up, on prepared tray. Season well. Combine tomato and chipotle sauce, honey and first measure of lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Mix well and brush over chicken.
  2. Roast chicken for about 35 minutes, until cooked through. Once cooked, move chicken to top rack of oven and turn to high grill. Grill chicken for 1-2 minutes, until golden and crispy. Set aside, covered, to rest for at least 5 minutes.
  3. While chicken cooks, cook potatoes in pot of salted water for about 20 minutes, until tender. Add beans and cook a further 1 minute, then drain well. Add to a bowl, along with spring onions and mayonnaise. Toss to combine and season.
  4. While potatoes cook, place corn into a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover and set aside for about 3 minutes, until bright and tender. Drain well and toss with corn spices, salt and olive oil. Heat a large, dry fry-pan on high heat.
  5. Cook corn for about 5 minutes, turning regularly, until lightly charred. Combine sour cream and parsley in a small bowl and season to taste.
  6. To serve, cut chicken into large pieces and serve on a platter with potato salad, blackened corn and parsley sour cream. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
