Ingredients for BBQ Chicken Taco

Method

Directions for BBQ Chicken Taco

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

2

Batter the Chicken

In another bowl, mix flour, egg, and milk to create a batter. Dip the seasoned chicken pieces into the batter.

3

Fry the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the batter-coated chicken until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Make the Slaw

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well to create the tangy slaw.

5

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet. On each tortilla, place some fried chicken, top with the tangy slaw, jalapeño caps, a drizzle of orange habanero BBQ sauce, and finish with chopped cilantro.
