1 garlic clove, crushed

½tsp celery salt

3 level tsp Schwartz Classic BBQ Seasoning

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 skinless and boneless chicken thighs, all visible fat removed

1 level tsp extra-light mayonnaise

2 tsp fat-free natural fromage frais

4 x 60g wholemeal rolls, halved and toasted if you like

Lettuce, shredded, to serve

2 tomatoes, sliced, to serve

1 red onion, sliced

Salad, to serve

For the fries

250g floury potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries

Low-calorie cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.

First make the marinade. Put the rice vinegar, soy sauce, Worcesters­hire sauce, honey, passata, garlic, celery salt, ground coriander, chilli powder, 1 teaspoon of barbecue seasoning in a bowl and season and mix well.

Make a few cuts in each chicken thigh using a sharp knife and toss them in the marinade to coat evenly. Tip into a non-stick roasting tin and sprinkle over the remaining barbecue seasoning. Cook in the oven for 2530 minutes, or until cooked through, basting with the juices occasional­ly.

Meanwhile, cook the fries in a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 1-2 minutes then drain and spread out on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Spray with low-calorie cooking spray and cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Season with salt.

Shred the chicken with two forks and reheat thoroughly in the microwave on high for 1½ minutes. Mix the mayonnaise and fromage frais together, season to taste and spread on to the roll. Fill the roll with the lettuce, tomato, onion and shredded chicken. Skewer with a cocktail stick if necessary and serve with the fries and extra salad.
