Cooking Steps

Bake the wedges
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1cm wedges. Spread on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Cut the sweet potato to size so it cooks in time.

SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but if you’re sensitive to heat, feel free to add less. While the wedges are baking, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Slice the corn cob in half. Slice the lime into wedges. Thinly slice the spring onion. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a medium bowl, combine the All-American spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and the chicken. Toss to coat.

Cook the chicken
3

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side. Reduce the heat to low and add the BBQ sauce and a splash of water. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and turn to coat. Heat until bubbling, then remove from the heat.

Boil the corn cobs
4

While the chicken is cooking, cook the corn cobs in the boiling water. Cook until tender and bright yellow, 5 minutes. Drain and spread with a little butter if you like.

Make the slaw
5

In a large bowl, combine the smokey aioli with a good squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add the slaw mix and spring onion (reserve some spring onion for garnish!). Toss to coat.

Serve up
6

Divide the American-style BBQ chicken, sweet potato wedges, rainbow slaw and corn cobs between plates. Spoon any excess glaze over the chicken. Sprinkle with the reserved spring onion and serve with any remaining lime wedges.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty BBQ-glazed chicken, though some found it too sweet or spicy. The smokey aioli in the slaw divided opinions.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though some found cutting sweet potato wedges and corn cobs challenging.
  • Suggestions: Try roasting corn in the oven to save a pan. Consider adding extra herbs or seasoning to boost flavour.
  • Portions: Several mentioned the chicken portion was small for four people. Some wanted more meat and less veg overall.
  • Texture: Some found the slaw too coarsely chopped. Sweet potato wedges needed longer cooking for some to avoid sogginess.
