Method

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Mix the chilli with the rice vinegar and sugar.
- STEP 2
For the satay sauce, whisk the ingredients in a bowl with 2-4 tbsp of water until smooth.
- STEP 3
Halve the chicken breasts lengthways so you have two long strips.
- STEP 4
Cover with clingfilm and use a rolling pin to bash out the thicker end so it evens out the thickness.

Put the flour and some seasoning onto a plate and toss with the chicken.
- STEP 6
Put the eggs onto a separate plate, and the breadcrumbs, peanuts and oil onto another.
- STEP 7
Rub the oil into the crumbs so everything is well mixed.
- STEP 8
Dip each chicken strip first into the egg to coat, then roll in the nutty crumbs.
- STEP 9
Put on a baking sheet and cook for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, turning halfway through. Slice.
- STEP 10
Split the baguettes in half and stuff each with coriander leaves and carrot matchsticks.
- STEP 11
Add pieces of sliced chicken schnitzel to each, then drizzle with satay sauce.
- STEP 12
Drain the pickled chilli and sprinkle over with the crispy onions.
