SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN WITH RANCHSLAW AND RICE

RECIPE: @_STEPHPEIRCE
Directions

Preheat the oven to 220°C fan bake. 

Prep the Chicken: 
Toss diced chicken with cornflour, onion or garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a lined baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and cooked through. 
 

Make the Sweet & Spicy Sauce: 
In a small saucepan, combine sriracha, honey, butter, smoked paprika, and white wine vinegar. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring until thickened and glossy. 
 

Cook the Rice: 
Prepare 1½ cups of rice according to packet instructions. Set aside and keep warm. 
 

Make the Slaw: 
In a large bowl, toss together the LeaderBrand Ranchslaw, spring onions, coriander, and toasted sesame seeds. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, and sugar. Pour over the slaw and toss to coat. 
 

Toss the Chicken: 
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a bowl, pour over the hot sweet & spicy sauce, and toss until well coated. 
 

Serve: 
Divide rice between bowls, top with saucy chicken and slaw. Garnish with extra coriander and a wedge of lime.
