Firing up the barbecue this weekend? Barbecues are one of the healthiest meals on hot days but not if you're serving a charred snag (sausage/hot dog) or a burnt chop.

You're running late on your way home and there's nothing for dinner! The easiest thing to do is to grab a barbecued chook along with a few roast potatoes and a tub of cole slaw or salad. It's hot, tasty and looks more like a healthy meal than pizza, nuggets or laksa. But how healthy is it really?
