Cooking Steps
If you’re not using a BBQ, preheat your oven to 200°C. Pop the chicken thighs into a bowl and add the Mississippi style spice mix and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Rub the spice into the chicken, making sure to coat it all. Cover with cling film and set aside in the fridge until you're ready to cook it. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging.
Halve the potatoes. Pop them onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on the top shelf of the oven until golden, 20-25 mins, turning halfway through. Peel the garlic, pop into foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it. Roast the garlic on the potatoes' baking tray until soft, 10-12 mins. Then leave on the side to cool.
If you're not using your BBQ for your chicken or sausages, pop the sausages onto a baking tray. Roast in your oven for 18-20 mins. IMPORTANT: The sausages are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil). Lay the chicken thighs in the pan and fry until they are starting to char on the outside and are cooked through, 6-7 mins each side. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Alternatively, you could BBQ the meat... weather permitting!
While everything cooks, finely snip the chives with scissors. Mash the roasted garlic with a fork until smooth. In a small bowl, mix half of the soured cream, the roasted garlic and half the chives. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Halve the baby plum tomatoes. Trim the root from the baby gem, halve lengthways then thinly slice widthways.
In another bowl, combine the slaw mix with the remaining soured cream, the baby gem and baby plum tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and pop into the fridge until ready to eat. A few mins before everything is cooked, slice the brioche buns through the middle (but not all the way through) and pop them into the oven until warmed through, 2-3 mins.
Pop the chicken onto a serving plate. Serve the BBQ sausages in the buns with the BBQ sauce and mayonnaise on top. Pop the potatoes into a serving dish and drizzle over the soured cream and garlic dressing. Sprinkle the remaining chives over the potatoes. Serve with the slaw alongside. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The Mississippi spice rub is a real highlight, giving the chicken bold, smoky depth; the garlic soured cream dressing on the potatoes also drew plenty of praise.
- Ease of prep: The recipe is straightforward to follow, though the number of elements requires some coordination and timing to bring everything together at once.
- Suggestions: Add apple cider vinegar to the slaw to lift the flavour, and consider extra garlic in the soured cream dressing; American mustard works well as an alternative to mayo in the hot dog buns. If the soured cream feels overpowering across multiple components, use it more selectively.
- Next-day meals: The generous spread lends itself well to splitting into two separate meals — for example, hot dogs with slaw one evening and chicken with potatoes the next.
- Portions: The meal is substantial and very filling; some found it worked well for more than the stated number of servings.
