Method

Prepare the barbecue for direct heat (for cooking right over the coals). For the potato salad, parboil the potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water for about 8 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside to steam-dry for 5 minutes, then toss with the oil and season with salt. Barbecue, turning regularly, until tender and charred, then toss in a large bowl with the rest of the salad ingredients. Set aside.

Meanwhile, for the chicken, mix the oil, gochujang, honey, soy, ginger and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Toss in the chicken, turning to coat, then cook on the barbecue, turning and basting with any leftover marinade as the wings cook, until cooked through, sticky and slightly charred (10-15 minutes).

Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and coriander if you like, then serve with the potato salad.

Quick wins, tips & make ahead

No barbecue? Cook the chicken in a 180°C fan/gas 6 oven on a lined tray, turning once or twice, for 18-20 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred. Cook the parboiled potatoes in a griddle pan over a high heat, turning regularly, for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Easy swaps: Gochujang is a Korean chilli paste. Find it in Asian grocers and larger supermarkets. Swap for another (Thai chilli paste, chipotle or harissa all work) or use sriracha.
