Ingredients

BBQ Chicken

  • 300g chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon

Potato Salad

  • 400g baby potatoes, diced 3cm
  • 100g green beans
  • 50g baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Blackened Corn

  • 1 corn cob, peeled and cut into 3 pieces
  • 2 teaspoons corn spices
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

To Serve

  • 60g pottle sour cream
  • ½ lemon, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ grill to medium (if using). Prepare vegetables. Pat chicken dry and season. In a medium bowl, combine tomato and chipotle sauce, honey and first measure of lemon zest and juice. Mix well and toss through chicken to coat.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes each side, until golden and crispy. Set aside, covered, to rest for at least 5 minutes.
  3. While chicken cooks and rests, cook potatoes in pot of salted water for about 20 minutes, until tender. Add beans and cook for a further 1 minute, then drain well. Add to a bowl with spinach and mayonnaise, toss to combine and season.
  4. While potatoes cook, place corn in 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 in pan for about 5 minutes, turning regularly, until lightly charred.
  6. To serve, cut chicken into large pieces and serve on a platter with potato salad, blackened corn, sour cream and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
