Method
Check off steps while cooking so you keep the flow.
Prepare the crispy chicken according to the KFC-style chicken strips recipe on the website, linked in the list of ingredients, in half the amount: take 2 chicken breasts of 250 grams and cut each one lengthwise, open in half and get a thin and uniform piece.
Soak the two breasts together in half the amount of batter, and cover them with half the amount of coating - a thin coating. For this salad you need one prepared breast, 250 grams.
Bake the chicken until the coating is golden and crunchy, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Meanwhile, cut the cucumbers lengthwise, drain the watery core with a spoon and slice into thin crescents.
Cut the carrot and the green apple into thin, even strips, and slice the chili into thin rings.
Chop the mint and basil into thin strips, finely chop the green onion and separate the coriander leaves.
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until you get a smooth and thick texture. If the sauce is too thick, add another teaspoon of hot water.
Arrange the cucumbers, carrot, apple, chili and herbs in separate piles in a bowl.
Slice the crispy chicken into strips and place on top of the vegetables.
Pour the peanut sauce on top, sprinkle with black sesame and mix well just before serving.
