The sun is shining and there isn’t a cloud in the sky. So it must definitely be time for a BBQ. I’ve been working with Heinz to create some delicious marinade perfect for using on chicken kebabs and sausages. We use this for a range of BBQ meats and it’s a really easy go to recipe for when we want a barbecue.

Using the Heinz barbecue sauce I added a few extra flavours to get the best out of the sauce. Fresh lemon and chilli really compliment the smokey taste. It’s easy to make and can be used on chicken, beef and even tastes amazing with wild boar sausages! If I have a little extra time on my hands I also finely chop up an onion and soften it in a pan first and mix the sauce together with it. Delicious!

What is so versatile with this recipe is that it can be adapted to be used on all sorts of barbecue meats. Plus it can even be used on vegetable dishes, vegan burgers and tastes lovely with falafel too.

Vegetables that work really well with this marinade include;
asparagus
carrots
peppers
onions
sweetcorn on the cob
even over potatoes and chips.

For vegetables I would recommend using slightly less sauce so it’s bit more runny. It will coat the vegetables more easily and keep them juicy.

Leave the marinade on the chicken for as long as you can – 1 hour is perfect, if you are more forward thinking and a better than planner than me you can do it the day before you need it.

You can also use extra for a dipping sauce when the meat is cooked (as long as it hasn’t touched any raw meat). Marinading meat is such a beautiful and easy way to take a BBQ to the next level. It’s also a great way to get the prep for a party done early.

So simple but so delicious! Sometimes I add a few slices of onion too but pepper and chicken is definitely my favourite. I love how on the BBQ you get the odd chargrilled pieces which go a little burned while the main part of the pepper flesh is soft is hot.

Absolutely! As I have used in this recipe it’s easy to turn it into the Heinz BBQ sauce as a marinade. It doesn’t take much to make it from sauce to marinade. It’s delicious both ways!

Is Heinz Barbecue Sauce vegetarian?

Indeed it is. Suitable for vegetarians, so if you want to make this recipe and use for it quorn pieces. Or even brush it over a range of vegetables ready to roast on the BBQ. I’d recommend chopping up some peppers in a chunky way and adding them to a kebab stick. Brush over the marinade and cook on the BBQ. I love BBQ pepper kebabs. There is something delicious about that charcoal flavour!

Can you use Heinz BBQ sauce for steak?

Yes you absolutely can use the Heinz BBQ sauce for steak. When using this recipe for steak try adding a bit more sauce to make sure you coat the steak and give it a stronger flavour. You don’t need as much of the BBQ sauce with the chicken as it’s a more subtle flavour.
