But sometimes those summertime staples can use an upscaled refresh. Enter our recipe for a black sesame chicken burger and tahini yoghourt coleslaw. Like all the best BBQ recipes, these two are quick and easy; but their gourmet spin will have people thinking your a grillmaster du jour.
Black sesame chicken burger

On a chopping board, slice 1 large skinless chicken breast horizontally and diagonally, across the grain of the fibres, into four flat slices.

Put a frying pan over a medium flame and add a thin layer of vegetable oil.
