Fresh corn on the cob (preferably pre-cooked)

2 tbsp vegetable oil

-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
½ tsp garlic powder (or 1 freshly grated garlic clove)

-
A pinch of chilli flakes (optional)

How to make the barbecue sauce:
-
Put all the ingredients in a small saucepan.

Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill over direct heat for 10-12 minutes. Turn as they cook and brush with extra sauce.

Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes until it has lovely grill marks.

Brush the corn with butter and sprinkle with a little sea salt before serving.
