Buffalo Chicken Salad Recipe • Fresh and Tasty! | Club Foody

 

I love salads 💖! They’re simple and yet so delicious! Before I met my husband David, I used to have at least a couple meals of salad per week. It could’ve been a Caesar Salad, Israeli Salad, Quinoa Beet Salad, Greek Salad, Winter Citrus Salad, etc.
 
Not all salads 🥗 are created equally therefore when adding protein, it can turn into an amazing and substantial main dish. I think of a nice Julienne Salad with turkey leftovers, Crab Louie with delicious poached prawns, Salade Niçoise with tuna and anchovy filets, and so on.
 
Another one that is incredibly tasty is my Buffalo Chicken Salad! Colorful and easy to make, this is a salad that will please everyone including those little “picky” eaters 👧👱‍♂️! Loaded with fresh ingredients along with homemade dressing, these crispy little chicken bites are a mouthful of yumminess!
 
We love our wings night but I have to say, this became another one of our favorites! It’s like eating chicken wings well… without the wings! This is another way to enjoy this famous finger food without having sticky, orange fingers 🖐.
 
Buffalo Chicken Salad is pretty quick to make. Before starting, make sure your “mise en place” is done which means all the veggies are cut 🔪 including the lettuce. I use my Buffalo Wing Sauce which has some serious flavor to it, hence, it’s made ahead as well.
 
As mentioned, the recipe goes pretty fast. After the chicken cubes are dredged in a flour mixture, they’re placed on a baking sheet. To get them crispy on the outside, I use cooking spray to coat before transferring them to the oven.
 
From there, they’re quickly baked for 7 minutes ⏰, removed from the heat, flipped over and returned to the oven for 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF . They go into a large bowl where I pour my Buffalo Sauce over and stir until well coated.
 
The next step is not necessary but I like doing it. I put them back on the baking sheet in a single layer, return the coated chicken 🐓 to the oven for 10 minutes WITHOUT the heat on. This helps the sauce to dry out a little bit. I do the same when making my regular wings… out of force of habit I presume!
 
I prefer using Romaine lettuce over iceberg. When it comes to dressing, most of the time, I go for my Zippy Ranch recipe as it gives a nice balance to the dish. You can opt for my Blue Cheese if you want but remember that there’s already some crumbled blue cheese that goes on top of the salad 🥗.
 
With fresh ingredients along with your favorite dressing, this delectable Buffalo Chicken Salad is totally a must try! It’s a nontraditional tasty meal to enjoy anytime! I like serving it during any sporting event like the Super Bowl 🏉, the Masters 🏌️‍♂️, World Series ⚾, etc. or parties… even potlucks!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
