There's nothing better than firing up the BBQ on a warm evening, and this chicken with charred corn is one of my go-to summer dinners.

The trick is to let the chicken thighs marinate in the BBQ sauce for as long as you can before they hit the grill, the longer they sit, the more flavour they soak up.

It's quick, it's fresh, and it's perfect for eating outside in the sun. Give it a go!

Method

In a large bowl add the chicken thighs and the BBQ sauce. Leave to marinate for as long as you can.

Add the avocado, tomatoes lettuce and cabbage to another bowl. Whisk the dressing ingredients together then mix through the salad and season to taste.

Place the corn in a covered bowl with a splash of water and microwave for 4 minutes.

Heat a griddle pan over a high heat, or get the BBQ nice and hot. Wait for the flames to die down then cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Cook the corn for 5 minutes, turning every so often until each side is lightly charred.

Serve the barbecue chicken with the salad and corn, adding the butter to the corn along with a sprinkle of salt.
