    1 In a large shallow dish, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and place in fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour.

    2 In a second shallow bowl, combine vinegar and sugar. Add carrots and radishes, stir to coat then set aside to pickle for 20 minutes. Drain.

    3 When chicken has marinated, lightly spray a barbecue hotplate or chargrill pan with oil and heat to medium-high. Grill chicken for 3-4 minutes each side, or until lightly charred and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

    4 Cut each baguette portion down the middle. Divide lettuce, cucumber, pickled vegetables, chicken and coriander among baguette portions. Drizzle with chilli sauce, sprinkle with fresh chilli, if using, and serve.
