4. Fill a large bowl with iced water, carefully lift the chicken from the water and put into the iced water.

Heat the vinegar, sugar, lemon, coriander and chilli together, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then pour through a sieve over the cucumber and leave to marinate in the fridge for one hour. Scatter rose petals and thinly sliced spring onion over the salad.
