Instructions

Roast the Wedges
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).

Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the lemon and herb seasoning, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Char the Corn
2

Pop the sausages onto a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf until golden brown and cooked through, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through. Alternatively, cook them on the BBQ if you'd prefer. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw sausages. They're cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

Heat a large frying pan on high heat (no oil). Once hot, add the sweetcorn and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time - you want the sweetcorn to pick up some nice colour.

Tip the charred corn into a large salad bowl.

Caramelised Onion Time
3

While the corn chars, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 8-10 mins.

Meanwhile, grate the cheese. Zest and halve the lime.

When the onions are golden, add the sugar for the onions (see pantry for amount) to the saucepan and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.

Fry the Chicken
4

Pop the chicken thighs into a medium bowl with the peri peri seasoning and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper, then turn to coat the chicken in the spice.

Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) corn frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, lay the spiced chicken thighs flat in the pan. Fry until browned on each side and cooked through, 13-15 mins. Turn every 2-3 mins.

Alternatively, cook on the BBQ if you'd prefer. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Bring on the Slaw
5

Meanwhile, squeeze the lime juice into a small bowl. Add the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper, then mix well. 

Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl of charred corn. Pour in the lime dressing and toss to coat.

When the chicken is cooked, remove from the heat. Drizzle with the honey, turning the chicken to glaze it. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

Slice the buns top down through the middle (but not all the way through) and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

Once the wedges are cooked, sprinkle over the lime zest. Toss to coat.

Spread the ketchup (see pantry for amount) inside the buns and spoon in the caramelised onions. Top with the sausages and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Sandwich together.  

Serve your peri peri chicken and sausages in buns with the charred corn slaw and wedges on the side.

Enjoy!
