Bacon-wrapped asparagus with oven barbecued chicken

Thank goodness the weather has cooled down a bit. It's almost perfect chicken roasting weather.

At the last minute I decided to joint the chicken and powdere it down with rub. Popped the pieces in the oven and basted in chipotle barbecue sauce.

With it, I had:
- a warm potato salad--olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and rosemary (I think it's been a year since I last made it).
- bacon-wrapped roasted asparagus
- corn

Yummy yummy.

Dessert was this month's DB challenge dish.
