Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken into 2-inch bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches, fry chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Drain oil, leaving 1 tbsp in the pan. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in soy sauce.

  5. Step 5

    Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the glossy soy-garlic sauce, 1–2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Toss cabbage and carrots with rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Serve slaw alongside the glazed chicken.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet (12-inch)
