First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

BBQ (Optional)
Baking Tray
Oven
Pan
Bowl

1 Prepare Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Coat chicken in BBQ marinade for at least 10 minutes. Peel and mince garlic. Remove the husks and silks from the corn. Using a knife, cut the kernels off the cobs. Pick parsley leaves and roughly chop, discarding stems. Slice spring onion finely.

Tip! If you can marinate the chicken overnight, or even for a couple of hours, it will enhance the flavours. Alternatively, preheat the BBQ to cook the chicken.

2 Make Slaw

In a large bowl, combine the slaw, spring onion, parsley and a light drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to coat.

Tip! Use extra virgin olive oil if you have it.

3 Cook Chicken

Remove chicken from marinade. Place chicken on a lined baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast chicken in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

Tip! Alternatively, 10 - 15 minutes on the BBQ should do it.

4 Cook Corn

In a large pan, melt the butter on medium-high. Add the garlic and corn and cook 1 - 2 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from the heat.

5 You Plate It

Divide the coleslaw and corn between plates. Top each with the delicious BBQ chicken and parsley. Enjoy!
