Colin Fassnidge’s best BBQ chicken sauce recipe

What you’ll need for your BBQ chicken sauce:

• Tomatoes (ideally on the vine)
• Red capsicum (or peppers)
• Spring onion
• Mixed leaves
• Lemon
• Capers
• Parsley
• Basil
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chicken

Directions for your BBQ chicken sauce:

1. Take tomatoes and peppers and throw them straight on the BBQ “to get a little char on there”. Fassnidge recommended roasting tomatoes on the vine if you can.
2. Get mixed leaves to build a salad base and toss that in a bowl.
3. BBQ your chicken to your taste.
4. Mix capers, parsley, basil, caper juice, spring onion tops, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mash in your tomatoes and capsicum, and add in a healthy squeeze of lemon juice.
5. Mix together well and pour over your chicken.
