Fried Chicken and Vegetable Salad

Posted on October 12, 2023October 12, 2023 By admin No Comments on Fried Chicken and Vegetable Salad

My kids were home all day today. And yesterday. Stormy weather. Classes were suspended. According to the latest news, they will resume tomorrow. Anyway, this dish made with fried breaded strips of chicken thigh fillets, romaine lettuce, and cherry tomatoes was today’s lunch. The idea was to make a salad a la KFC. Although my kids dug into the salad (Sam loved those cherry tomatoes!), what they did was eat the fried strips of chicken with fried rice. The salad was just a salad for them and not a main dish as it was for me.

The dressing for the salad is sort of a cheater’s Caesar’s salad dressing. See, when it storms here, we’re practically stuck in the house. It isn’t a good idea to venture to the wet market or the supermarket just to buy a few items. When it storms, we make do with what there is. Power was out yesterday and, not knowing for how long our water supply would last, we ate out of paper plates.

Place the chicken strips in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Work the salt and pepper into the chicken meat. Let rest for about 5 minutes. With the size of the chicken pieces, it won’t take them long to absorb the seasonings. Add the flour to the chicken and toss well, making sure that every piece is well covered with flour.

Heat the cooking oil in a fryer until it starts to smoke. Fry the chicken in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan; otherwise, the temperature of the cooking oil will drop and instead of crispy chicken strips, you’ll have soggy chicken strips. When the chicken strips are lightly browned, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on several layers of paper towels.

(Note that you can use a commercial breading mix if you prefer. As a rule, I stay away from them because I like total control over the amount of salt and pepper that goes into whatever I’m cooking. If you choose to use seasoned breading mix, omit the salt and pepper.) To serve, place the lettuce on a plate. Arrange the fried chicken strips on top. Add as many cherry tomatoes as you like and spoon some salad dressing over them.
