Ingredients

  • 700g boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 75g cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 120ml vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 tangerines, juiced (about 180ml juice)
  • 1 tangerine, zested
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 6 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced
  • 200g red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar for slaw
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil for slaw
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1

For the slaw, combine shredded red cabbage, julienned carrot, and half of the sliced spring onions in a large bowl. Whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and sugar. Toss with vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and refrigerate while preparing the chicken.

2

Season chicken pieces with salt and white pepper. Dip each piece into beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in cornstarch, shaking off excess.

3

Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 180°C). Fry chicken in batches for 5-6 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 75°C. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.

4

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan. Add minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5

Add tangerine juice, tangerine zest, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, honey, and chili flakes to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.

6

Stir the cornstarch slurry and add to the sauce, stirring constantly until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon sesame oil.

7

Return crispy chicken to the pan and toss thoroughly to coat in the tangerine glaze.

8

Divide the spring scallion slaw among four plates, top with glazed crispy chicken, and garnish with remaining sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
