Crispy Chicken with Asian Coleslaw

By Jen Paleracio | February 9, 2021

Quick chicken dinner with a refreshing side of Asian slaw. The chicken is lightly coated with flour and seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of red chili pepper flakes. Fried until golden brown and crispy.

Let’s start cooking!

The chicken is fried in hot oil. To check if your oil is hot enough, use a wooden spoon and dip the tip of the spoon into the oil, if you see bubbles, then the oil is ready. Or use a thermometer, if it reaches 300-350ºF then it’s ready.
For the Asian Coleslaw, I used shredded carrot, radicchio, Napa cabbage, radish, and thin sliced cucumber.
For the sauce, combine, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, sesame oil, grated ginger, and grated garlic.
