Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Main course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

zest and juice 3 limes
3 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp soft light brown sugar
2 hot red chillies , thinly sliced (see tip, below)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 tsp turmeric
handful coriander stems, finely chopped
8 chicken leg or thigh pieces, skin on
bunch spring onion , shredded lengthways
½ cucumber , halved, deseeded and cut into long strips
200g baby tomato , halved
handful coriander
handful Thai basil leaves
2 ripe avocados , sliced
handful toasted cashews or peanuts

Steps:

  • Whisk together the lime zest and juice, fish sauce, sugar and chillies until the sugar dissolves. Pour 1/3 of this mix into a bowl, add the oil and set aside (this will be the dressing). Put the remainder into a large food bag with 1 tsp salt, the garlic, turmeric and coriander stems. Slash each piece of chicken down to the bone a few times, then add to the marinade and squish it around well in the bag. Chill for at least 2 hrs, or ideally up to 24 hrs.

  • If you're barbecuing, transfer the chicken from its tin to a hot barbecue for 10 mins more, turning once crisp (otherwise continue roasting in the oven). Spread the spring onions, cucumber and tomatoes over a platter, add the chicken, then finish with the herbs, avocados, nuts and dressing.

HOT CHICKEN SALAD



Hot Chicken Salad image

This quintessential American casserole epitomizes timeless comfort food. The "hot" in this chicken salad refers to temperature, not spice. This casserole takes the components of a classic chicken salad, tops it off with crunchy classic potato chips and bakes in the oven until warmed through. While the filling and toppings vary by region and recipe, the main ingredients, like the version here, include cooked chicken, celery, mayonnaise, grated cheese and slivered almonds. You can poach your own chicken or save time and use a cut up rotisserie or poached chicken. Hot chicken salad does precisely what is asked of a casserole: to soothe, lift up and spread joy.

2 pounds cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces
