H-06 LIFTOFF
GARLIC GHOST
CHICKEN TACOS.
Charred chicken thighs piled into warm tortillas with crunchy slaw, avocado, pickled onion and creamy H-06 LIFTOFF sauce. Fresh, messy and properly hot.
HOW TO MAKE IT
METHOD.
MAKE THE MARINADE.
Combine H-06 LIFTOFF, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and black pepper in a large bowl.
MARINATE THE CHICKEN.
Add the chicken thighs and turn until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Two to four hours will give the chicken even more flavour.
MAKE THE SLAW.
Combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot and spring onion. Add the mayonnaise, lime juice and salt, then toss until lightly coated. Keep refrigerated until required.
MAKE THE H-06 CREAM.
Stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, H-06 LIFTOFF, lime juice and salt. Add another spoonful of H-06 if you want a stronger garlic flavour and more heat.
HEAT THE GRILL.
Heat a barbecue, grill plate or heavy frying pan over high heat. Allow it to become properly hot before adding the chicken.
CHAR THE CHICKEN.
Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes on the first side, then turn and cook for another 4–5 minutes. It should be deeply coloured and reach an internal temperature of 75°C.
REST AND SLICE.
Transfer the chicken to a board and rest for five minutes. Slice it across the grain, keeping any resting juices with the meat.
WARM THE TORTILLAS.
Warm the tortillas over the hot grill or in a dry frying pan for approximately 20 seconds per side until soft and lightly charred.
BUILD THE TACOS.
Fill each tortilla with slaw, sliced chicken, avocado and pickled onion. Drizzle generously with H-06 cream and finish with coriander.
FINISH AND SERVE.
Serve immediately with lime wedges and extra H-06 LIFTOFF. Napkins are less optional than they appear.
HARRY'S TIP
USE CHICKEN THIGHS.
Chicken breast dries out quickly. Thighs stay juicy, take on more colour and hold up properly against the slaw, avocado and H-06 sauce.
THE IMPORTANT PART
DRIZZLE THEM WITH
H-06 LIFTOFF.
Roasted garlic flavour and ghost pepper heat cut through the avocado and creamy sauce while keeping the charred chicken at the centre of every taco.
