Method

6 steps. Read it through before you start.

01
Thaw and trim
Thaw the chicken in the fridge overnight, about 12 hours, still in its pack. Never thaw on the counter. Pat dry before cooking. Trim any sinew or green patches. Cut the liver into bite-size pieces and pat very dry.
02
Make the slaw
Toss the cabbage, carrot, onion, lime juice, coriander and salt. Rest.
03
Coat
Toss the liver in the flour and spices.
04
Fry
Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high. Fry the liver in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until no pink remains. Cook until no pink remains and the juices run clear, or 74 °C at the thickest part if you use a thermometer.
05
Warm the tortillas
Warm in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side.
06
Build
Fill with liver and slaw. Top with curd and hot sauce.
