Preparation

Step 1 — 🔥🌡👍

Preheat your grill to a medium heat setting.

Drizzle honey on the plum halves and sprinkle chili flakes over them. Grill each side for about 5 mins until slightly caramelized, then set aside.
Step 3 — 🧂🍗🔥

Season your chicken breasts with salt and brush with olive oil. Ensure your grill is clean, place the chicken on it, and grill each side for about 7-10 minutes until fully cooked.
Step 4 — 🍗🍶👩‍🍳

Baste the chicken with your homemade Spicy Plum BBQ Sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling.
Step 5 — 🍽🍖🍃

Serve your grilled chicken hot, accompanied by the roasted plums and freshly made Pico de Gallo salsa. Add an extra dollop of Spicy Plum BBQ Sauce and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

A final fox tip

For a vegetarian option, replace chicken breasts with firm tofu steaks. Children can help with preparing the Pico de Gallo salsa and basting the chicken. The spicy plum BBQ sauce can be prepared a day ahead to save time on the day. Enjoy this feast on a warm summertime evening!
