Tips

  • Mix the chicken until you lose patience for maximum flavor absorption.
  • Store coleslaw separately in a container to keep it fresh and crisp for the week.
  • Rest the chicken for 5 minutes after cooking before slicing and mix in all the resting juices to retain flavor.
  • Add salt to fries after cooking to prevent moisture release and maintain crispiness.
  • Reheat chicken and fries in an air fryer for 5 minutes at 190C.
