Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 half chickens (about 4 pounds total)
Kosher salt
Juice of 2 limes, plus wedges for serving
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons Sriracha (Asian chile sauce)
3 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 Granny Smith apple
4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
3 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Place skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the skin begins to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix the juice of 1 lime with the allspice and 2 tablespoons each Sriracha and honey in a small bowl; set aside. Make the slaw: Whisk the juice of the remaining lime, 1 tablespoon each Sriracha and honey, and the mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Cut the apple into matchsticks and add to the mayonnaise mixture along with the coleslaw mix and scallions; toss to coat. Season with salt. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush with the glaze; return to the oven and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 7 to 10 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and cut each piece in half. Serve with the apple slaw and lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best in this recipe.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • Shred the chicken. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks or a food processor fitted with the shredding blade.
  • Use a variety of slaw mix. A pre-packaged slaw mix is a great time-saver, but you can also make your own using a combination of shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion.
  • Dress the slaw to taste. The dressing for the slaw is simple, but it's important to get the balance of flavors right. Taste the dressing before adding it to the slaw and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Chill the slaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Apple chicken slaw is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet apples, savory chicken, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this recipe a try!
