Servings: 8 Tacos

Ingredients

Goat Cheese Radish Slaw

  • 1 bunch of radishes
  • 2 Tablespoons cilantro
  • 1 pickled jalapeño
  • 1 ounce Laura Chenel original goat cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Crispy Chicken

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Other

  • oil for frying
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  • Prep the spicy goat cheese radish slaw by julienning the radish, chopping the cilantro and green onions, and dicing the pickled jalapeno. In a bowl add the goat cheese, sugar and thin it out with a splash of milk. Add the prepped ingredients to the bowl and toss. Set in the fridge until ready to top.
  • Heat oil 2 inches above the bottom of the pot over medium high heat. Cut both chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces. Set up the dredge station with milk in one bowl and the mixed dry ingredients in another bowl.
  • Once the oil reaches 350 degrees take a piece of chicken and dip in into the flour, then milk and repeat. In small batches fry each nugget for about 4 minutes. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
  • Time to build the tacos! Add chicken pieces to a warmed tortilla and top with spicy goat cheese radish slaw. Drizzle over some lime and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you have a lower spice tolerance make sure to deseed the jalapeño.
