Preparation
1
Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Put the sweet potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over half the Indonesian style spice mix, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

2
Coat the Chicken

Meanwhile, put the flour (see pantry for amount) and remaining Indonesian style spice mix into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and turn them over in the flour to coat well. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

3
Get Frying

Put a large frying pan on high heat and add enough oil to completely coat the bottom of the pan. TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly - heat for 2-3 mins before you add the chicken.

Once hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan, reduce the heat to medium-high and fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 13-15 mins total.

Turn every 2-3 mins and adjust the heat as necessary. Discard any flour left in the bowl.

4
Finish the Prep

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

While everything's cooking, trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice. 

Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

5
All Together Now

In a large bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sambal, honey and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Stir the coleslaw mix into the dressing and set aside for now.

When everything's ready, add the cooked sweet potatoes and baby gem to the slaw mix and toss through the dressing.

Cut the chicken widthways into 2cm thick slices.

6
Serve

Share the salad between your bowls.

Top with the crispy chicken thighs. Drizzle the sweet chilli sauce over the chicken.

Finish by sprinkling over the crushed peanuts.
