Green tea pickle: Combine hot water and green tea and let steep for 5 mins, strain and let liquid cool. Add vinegar, sugar, salt and cucumber and pickle for at least 3 hours.

Sriracha Mayonnnaise: Combine mayonnaise, sriracha & lemon juice; season with salt to taste.

Assembly: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour mix. In another medium bowl, combine batter. Working in batches, toss chicken in flour mix, ensuring it is well coated. Shake to remove excess. Dip chicken into batter mixture, allowing excess batter to drip off, and then coat in flour mixture, ensuring all crevices are coated; shake off excess.

Cooking: Heat oil to 180. Working in batches, fry chicken until deep golden brown – 4-6 minutes per batch. Drain over paper towels.

Serve with green tea pickle, sriracha mayonnaise, shredded cabbage & lemon wedge.
