Instructions

First make the coleslaw. Combine the cabbage, carrots, celery and red onion in a bowl. Place the celery seeds, blue cheese, soured cream, mayonnaise, vinegar and some seasoning in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and toss everything well to coat. Chill until ready to serve.

Heat the oil in a large pan or wok and put the oven on a low heat. Toss the chicken in the flour, celery salt, paprika and some seasoning. Test the oil temperature with a piece of bread – it's ready when the bread turns golden after 30 secs. Add the chicken pieces to the oil, cooking in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Cook for 8 mins until golden, crisp and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper, then transfer to a baking tray and put in a low oven to keep warm, until they are all cooked.
8 min - 3
Melt the butter, hot sauce, vinegar and honey together in a small pan until thick and sticky. When all the chicken pieces are cooked, toss in the sauce. Serve straight away with the coleslaw – and plenty of napkins!
