BBQ Pulled Chicken
with cheesy wedges and tomato salsa
The process of 'pulling' chicken, beef, or pork is popular in BBQ style cooking. It's a way of tenderising the meat, giving it a new texture and unlocking more flavour. In this recipe, even more taste and texture are added by the tangy tomato salsa that tops this cheesy BBQ dish.

Instructions
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 the wedges onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat.
- When oven is hot, spread the wedges out in a single layer and roast on the top shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary—you want the wedges nicely spread out.

- Meanwhile, lay the chicken onto a lined baking tray. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast on the middle shelf of your oven until browned and cooked through, 18-20 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
3
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks and pop into a medium bowl.
- Add the red wine vinegar, ½ tbsp oil (double for 2p) and half the parsley.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper then mix together. Set aside.
4
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven.
- Use 2 forks to gently pull the chicken apart while still in the tray.
- Once chicken has been shredded, add the BBQ sauce and mix well to fully coat.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5
- Once the potato wedges are ready, remove from the oven and spoon the BBQ pulled chicken over the top.
- Sprinkle on the cheddar and pop back in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 4-5 mins.
6
- Divide the cheesy chicken wedges between plates and top with the tomato salsa.
- Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the top.
