Method
 

Choose Your Sides
  1. Start by selecting your favorite chicken BBQ side dishes. Options like coleslaw, grilled corn, or a refreshing quinoa salad are excellent choices.
Gather Ingredients
  1. Collect all necessary ingredients. For coleslaw, you’ll need cabbage, carrots, and a creamy dressing. For grilled corn, just grab fresh corn on the cob and some butter.
Prepare the Coleslaw
  1. Shred the cabbage and carrots. In a large bowl, mix them together. Then, add your dressing and toss until everything is well coated. This step can be done ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld.
Grill the Corn
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and brush it lightly with butter. Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until it’s tender and slightly charred.
Make a Quinoa Salad
  1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and let it cool.
Add Fresh Ingredients
  1. To the cooled quinoa, mix in diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice for a refreshing flavor boost.
Prepare Garlic Bread
  1. Slice a baguette in half lengthwise. Spread softened butter mixed with minced garlic on each half. Wrap in foil and place it on the grill for about 5-7 minutes until warm and toasty.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Arrange your chicken BBQ side dishes on a large platter. Serve the coleslaw, grilled corn, quinoa salad, and garlic bread alongside your BBQ chicken. This colorful spread will surely impress your guests!
