- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- To make the slaw, combine the mayo or crème fraîche, mustard, honey and lemon juice in a jug; season well. Put the shredded veg in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss to combine.
- Crumble over the blue cheese, then scatter over the parsley. Give everything a good stir, then cover and chill for up to 5 hours.
- Cook the chicken on a preheated barbecue for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and sticky but cooked through with no pink meat remaining. Alternatively, spread out on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C for 45 minutes, turning halfway, or until cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Serve with the blue cheese slaw.
