Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine the chicken, pepper sauce, salt, and pepper and 2 teaspoons of the Essence in a large sealable bag or shallow glass container. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the glass container, if using, with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to 2 hours.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Asian slaw and toss well. Adjust the seasoning, to taste, and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
  3. In a large, deep pot, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides to 360 degrees F.
  4. Combine the flour and 2 tablespoons of the Essence in a large mixing bowl and stir to blend. In batches, add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil and deep-fry, turning occasionally, until golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Lightly season the chicken with the remaining 1 teaspoon Essence.
  6. To serve, divide the slaw and chicken among 6 plates and garnish with the peanuts and cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately.
  7. Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
  8. 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  9. 2 tablespoons salt
  10. 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  11. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  12. 1 tablespoon onion powder
  13. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  14. 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
  15. 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  16. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
  17. Yield: about 2/3 cup
