Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.Heat Guide for Step 5 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/2 tbsp mild, 1 tbsp medium, 1 1/2 tbsp spicy and 2 tbsp for extra-spicy! Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.While the pan heats, pat corn dry with paper towels. When hot, add corn to the dry pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dark-brown in spots, 5-6 min.Transfer corn to a medium bowl. Add half the spicy mayo. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers.Roughly chop cilantro.Add vinegar, 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar and a pinch of salt to a small pot.Heat the pot over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Remove the pot from heat.Add cucumbers to pickling liquid. Set aside.Add 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) pickling liquid and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl.

Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan, carefully pound each chicken breast until 1/2-inch thick.Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.Coat chicken all over with remaining spicy mayo.Working with one chicken breast at a time, press both sides into panko to coat completely.When corn is done, heat the same pan over medium.
When the pan is hot, add 1/3 cup oil or enough to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Wait 30 seconds for the oil to heat, then add chicken. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook chicken in 2 batches, removing any bits from the oil with a slotted spoon before adding more oil for the second batch.)Shallow fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** (NOTE: Reduce heat to medium-low if chicken starts to brown too fast.)Transfer chicken to a wire rack, then sprinkle a pinch of salt over top.
