chicken

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Skinless chicken is lower in fat; chicken thighs are often cheaper than breasts.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade barbecue sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar; ketchup is a budget-friendly alternative.

Make barbecue sauce by mixing 75 millilitres of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tablespoons of honey.

Coat 1.2 kilos of chicken thighs in the barbecue sauce and season with sea salt.

Cut 1.2 kilos of Maris Piper potatoes into quarters, drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then turn them skin-side down.

Place the potatoes in the oven and the chicken on top, cooking at 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit) for 45 minutes.

Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking.

Prepare a slaw with 2 carrots, 1 onion, and 1/4 red cabbage, finely slicing the vegetables.

Mix the slaw with a pinch of salt, pepper, a swig of vinegar, olive oil, and 100 grams of natural yoghurt.

Cook frozen corn in the oven alongside the chicken and potatoes, allowing it to char slightly.
