Preparation
Chef’s notes
It's recommended to use boneless skinless chicken thighs for a juicier result.
The slaw's dressing may look gritty the next day but tastes as good as the first day.
Store chopped cabbage and vegetables separately from the dressing to avoid sogginess.
Consider using two serrano chiles for more heat as the other ingredients balance the flavors.
