Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slash the chicken with a sharp knife and toss with the barbecue sauce in a roasting tray. Season with black pepper and roast for 45 mins, basting every 15 mins with the sauce from the tray, until sticky and cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, make the slaw. Mix all the vegetables together in a large bowl, then toss through the salad cream and some seasoning. When the chicken is cooked, serve with the slaw and some crusty bread, if you like.

    Very nice - I used aioli instead of plain mayonnaise.

    I made the homemade BBQ sauce and marinaded chicken thighs in it overnight. We ate it tonight and the BBQ coating was absolutely delicious, so highly recommend making your own BBQ sauce with the recipe given. Also, it was very quick and easy to do.

    I also used the homemade bbq sauce and it was absolutely delicious, making the bbq sauce was less effort than going to the shops to buy some.
