Step 1
Cut chicken into 2-inch bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 3
Working in batches, fry chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Drain oil, leaving 1 tbsp in the pan. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in soy sauce.
Step 5
Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the glossy soy-garlic sauce, 1–2 minutes.
Step 6
Toss cabbage and carrots with rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Serve slaw alongside the glazed chicken.
