Ingredients

DIJON SLAW:

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, sambal, garlic, ginger, honey, soy, black pepper and lemon juice. Mix chicken in the bowl and let marinate at least 4 hours, preferable overnight. In another large bowl, mix together the panko, togarashi, paprika, sesame seeds and cumin. Pull the chicken out of the marinade and season lightly with salt. Place chicken in panko bowl and completely coat the chicken. Heat oil to 350 degrees and fry until brown. May have to do heat transfer on the larger pieces, (Pulling the chicken out of the fryer and resting for 3 to 5 minutes, before finishing the frying.) Drain on paper towels and season again lightly with salt.

DIJON SLAW:

Add the mustard seeds and lemon juice, pulse to mix and check for seasoning. Toss the 2 cabbages, scallions and 1/2 of the dressing. Add more dressing if needed and let slaw sit 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
