Im making BBQ Marinaded chicken with a salad, and was going to add some potato salad in there too. Is there anything else that might go nicely with this? BBQ Chicken breast, potato salad with spring onions, a bit of lettuce,cucumber etc....and.....?

The only thing you need to add is copious amounts of alcohol. Nuff Said!!

Ahh bless you Brian - you seem really excited about this meal. I believe this your second thread

I think it sounds fine as it is.... I'd personally have salad and new potatoes (as opposed to potato salad and salad) but it sounds delish! Enjoy.

And yep crack open a few beers too

Make sure you don't overcook the chicken Brian or it'll be dry. For experienced and inexperienced cooks alike I would recommend a digital meat thermometer. Under a tenner and ensures perfectly cooked meat every time.

Brian could probably get one off his chef brother

Seriously though, that meal sounds nice as it is already. Corn on the cob idea is good though. Boil for 15 mins, then empty pan, and melt butter onto it. Delicious

Can i get one from Sainsburys? How do i use it, do i just occassionally prod it in and check the temperature? And what temp does it have to be for it to be ready to eat?

Any kitchen shop will have them, maybe Sainsbury's homewares dept. It will have the recommended temperatures with it. When you use it, insert it half way into the thickest part of the meat and try and guage the middle. You only need to do this towards the end of the cooking time. If I am "resting" the meat I take it out when it's about 5c from the desired temp as it will carry on cooking for a bit when out of the oven.

Or alternatively use a knife or fork to pull a piece of the meat apart and have a gander at whether it's cooked or not.

or make a hole with the knife and stick your finger in it to see if it's hot!

My mum would tell you to have some rice with that. My mum would tell you to have rice with pretty much anything though.

Coleslaw. Home-made though. Not of that slop out of a pot.

That might be the Antipodean culinary technique Pamela. I however, am trying to put the lad on the right track with something a little less vulgar!!

Do you mean coleslaw in general? Or just the slop out of the pots? I love coleslaw, and it goes very well with barbecue chicken.

Coleslaw in general, I've never been a fan. I think it's the raw cabbage.
