Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the chicken in a freezer bag with the mirin, soy, sake, brown sugar and 2 tbsp water. Seal the bag then shake so the sauce coats the chicken. Leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
step 2
To make the salad, put the kohlrabi, carrot, spring onion whites and rice vinegar in a bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and toss together.
step 3
Shake the chicken of excess marinade (but keep the marinade) and put into a roasting tin, skin-side up. Cover the tin with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, spoon over any left-over marinade and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is glazed and cooked through. Keep basting with the marinade as it cooks.
step 4
Stir the mayo, sriracha and the coriander into the kohlrabi salad. Serve the chicken with the salad alongside, scattered with the spring onion greens and sesame seeds.
