That sounded delicious to me. So I assembled bought some KFC, ate a drumstick (I couldn't resist!) and stuck the rest in the fridge for a couple days.
And then it was chicken salad making time!
Tore my chicken apart, kept all the skin, and tossed in three or four chopped scallions.
Cut about a third of a green apple like this
Discovered my bowl was too small for all the ingredients, couldn't find my larger mixing bowl, put all the ingredients in a sauce pan, added an appropriate-looking amount of Kewpie mayo followed by an appropriate-looking amount of sriracha. Took pride in my ingenuity, felt shame over my paucity.
Mixed it all up, transferred it to my bowl.
The Verdict: Oh geeze. Wow. I mean, was there ever any doubt about the deliciousness of cold fried chicken with lots of Kewpie mayo and sriracha? Apple, lime, scallion, they just make it even better. I might be keeping fried chicken on hand from now on for whipping this one up when the mood strikes.
And for the record: Not all the recipes in the magazine call for cookies as bread or fast food fried chicken as main ingredients. Just the first two recipes I tried.

I want to make this. And the cookie sandwich. And I want that magazine. It seems like I HAVE to come out to New York, right? :)
So, where's the best place to get the Kewpie mayo?
Pearl: Yup, no choice. You got to.
Dave: M2M and Sunrise Mart, for starters. It's a couple bucks cheaper at Sunrise. I shouldn't have even mentioned M2M.
That fancy mayo sounds like it would be delicious.
It's not fancy mayo, it's Japanese mayo. I used to put it on scrambled eggs and lots of other things when I was serving in Japan.
