Served on a bed of coleslaw with a spicy peanut sauce, then garnished with sliced avocado, lime and cilantro, this meal is an exotic trip without leaving home.

Ingredients

  • Chicken and marinade
  • 1.1 kg chicken thighs (bone-in with skin)
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) ginger garlic paste,or fresh minced ginger and garlic
  • 2 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

 

Coleslaw

  • 225 g red cabbage, finely sliced
  • 175 g bean sprouts
  • ½ red chili pepper, finely sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienne
  • 30 g fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

 

Spicy peanut dressing

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 175 ml mayonnaise
  • ½ tbsp sriracha sauce
  • ¼ tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tsp (5 g) ginger garlic paste

 

Garnish

  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 lime quartered
  • Extra cilantro and red chili pepper, finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Place the chicken in a ziplock bag, and add the marinade to completely coat the chicken. Set aside for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Place the chicken thighs, skin-side up on a broiler or baking pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 74°C, and the chicken is golden brown. Set aside to cool and then slice into 2″ x 1″ (5-2,5 cm) slices.
    Add the coleslaw ingredients to a large bowl, and in a smaller bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Pour it over the coleslaw, and give it a good mix!
  4. Divide the coleslaw into individual serving bowls, or leave in the current bowl. Garnish with the sliced chicken, diced avocado, chili, and a lime wedge. Another option: Serve the chicken thighs with the coleslaw on the side.
