Preparation
Start the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Peel and grate the ginger.
- Pat the chicken dry; rub with the spices, ½ the ginger, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, flipping halfway, 13 to 15 min., until partially cooked.
Make the pickled radishes
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, ½ cup water (double for 4 portions), the remaining ginger and S&P.
- Microwave, 1 to 2 min., until hot.
- Add the radishes; toss well.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
Mise en place
- Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; smash until slightly flattened. Cut into large chunks; season with salt then let sit for 5 min.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
- In a small bowl, combine the peanuts, white bottom of the scallion, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Finish the chicken & toast the peanuts
- When the chicken is partially cooked, add the peanuts and roast, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to brown and the chicken* is cooked through.

- Remove the excess liquid from the cucumbers with paper towel.
