DIRECTIONS:

To make dressing, in a small saucepan over high heat, add all ingredients except oil, and reduce until thick and syrupy, 5-10 minutes. Let cool. Strain into a bowl, add oil and stir to combine. Set aside.

To make slaw, in a frying pan over medium heat, add peanuts and roast, stirring occasionally, until nutty smelling. Add butter, sugar, salt, and chile flakes. Stir until sugar caramelizes, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper. Let cool, roughly chop.

In a large bowl, add cabbage and remaining salad ingredients, including nuts. Add dressing and toss together. Taste and add more salt, as needed.

Preheat oven to 400°.

To make chicken, in a small bowl, combine oil, sage, thyme, and season liberally with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Rub chicken with herb oil.

Roast chicken for 30 minutes. Lower heat to 350° and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thigh not touching bone registers 165°, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and let rest about 10 minutes prior to cutting and serving.
