Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid (¾ cup for 4 servings), then drain.
Return potatoes to pot and cover to keep warm (you’ll finish them in Step 6).
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, half the vinegar (you’ll use the rest in Step 4), 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and pepper (2 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings).
Add coleslaw mix and toss to thoroughly coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with BBQ seasoning, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: Cover and lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly.
Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together jam, stock concentrate, remaining vinegar, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings).
Add glaze mixture to pan used for chicken over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted and combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Return chicken to pan with glaze and turn to coat.
To pot with drained potatoes, add sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Mash until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide mashed potatoes and coleslaw between plates. Top potatoes with chicken and spoon any remaining glaze over the top. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The BBQ-glazed chicken and peach glaze were widely enjoyed, with many praising the sweet-savory balance. The coleslaw divided opinions — some loved it, but many found it too salty, too vinegary, or too bland; cut the salt to a small pinch and adjust the vinegar to taste.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with most finding it a reliable weeknight meal. A few noted the glaze can stay watery if not simmered long enough — give it the full 3–4 minutes to thicken.
- Suggestions: Several reviewers found the coleslaw dressing too salty as written; use less than the recommended salt and taste as you go 🥗. A few added celery seed or extra seasoning to the slaw for more depth. One reviewer noted the BBQ seasoning can scorch in the pan before the chicken finishes cooking, so use a second pan for the glaze. If you'd like more peach flavor, consider doubling the jam in the glaze.
- Leftovers: The coleslaw doesn't hold up well the next day once it warms, so enjoy it fresh. The chicken and potatoes reheat nicely.
Reviews from our home cooks
On paper this recipe looks good. In reality, it is merely passable. For one, what bbq recipe doesn't have bbq sauce? I misread this lack when ordering, and the bbq rub mixture which came instead just tastes like paprika. Which...what bbq sauce uses paprika over chili powder? Combined with a too-acidic version of HF's ubiquitous "coleslaw," which doesn't mesh with the bland potatoes and chicken, and it's all just a fail. (I wish HF had better regional US recipes, because a decent bbq chicken recipe would be great.)
I liked the flavors, but the glaze did not come out right for me. The coleslaw had a bit too much vinegar for my tastes as well. The mashed potatoes were very good.
This was a very tasty dinner and everything turned out great. There is a problem only with the Coleslaw dressing. The 4 person recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of salt and, being hesitant to use that much I only used 1/2 tsp. But that was STILL too salty! You may want to recheck in your test kitchen again. Most recipes I've used in the past call for VERY little salt.
HF sauces are usually exceptionally delicious so the bar is high, this bbq sauce fell short. I used my own bbq sauce and also my own coleslaw dressing so wouldn't order this again although it was good. Even the worst meals are usually good, I think I only ever threw out two or three unfinished meals out of more than a hundred. Thank you!
Chicken glaze was very tasty the coleslaw and potatoes complimented well
Made the coleslaw which easy and delicious, plus the mashed potatoes (used milk and butter not sour cream) great side and great potatoes! Chicken next! Will update
So good! Loved the BBQ sauce and the potatoes turned out perfectly, too. Mine don't always.
Terrific!!! Would order again. What a great flavor on the chicken and the dressing on the coleslaw was amazing. Thank you, HF!
Tasty and easy. Should include some liquid BBQ sauce. The dry rub is not flavorful enough to call this dish "BBQ."
Delicious combination of flavors. The BBQ sauce wasn't very thick and had a nice light flavor "not too BBQ sauce-like"
