Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.⁣ Place the chicken thighs in a bowl with half of the chillies, 1 tbsp of honey, 1 tbsp of the soy sauce, a glug of olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Leave to marinate for 10 mins.

  2. Step 2

    Place the chicken skins on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place another piece of baking paper on top, then top with another baking tray. Bake for 12 mins until crisp and golden.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the boiling water over the noodles and leave to sit for 1 minute. Drain in a colander and leave to dry for 15 mins, tossing occasionally to stop the noodles from sticking.

  4. Step 4

    Bring a pan of water to the boil. Salt, then add the sugar snaps. Boil for 2 mins until just tender, then drain and pop in a bowl of iced water to cool.

  5. Step 5

    Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5 mins on each side until tender. Then shred the chicken with two forks.

  6. Step 6

    Add the remaining chopped chilli to a bowl along with the remaining soy sauce, honey, lime zest and juice, and olive oil. Whisk to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

  7. Step 7

    Add the noodles, chicken, chicken skin, sugar snaps, radishes, most of the spring onions and dressing to a bowl. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onions and serve.
