Fried Chicken Salad Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Boil eggs and let them cool.
• Bake chicken tenders according to directions on package(I have also used leftover chicken in this).
• Tear or prepare lettuce as normal.
• Add cheese, tomato, and cucumber to lettuce.
• Cut chicken into bite size pieces and put into lettuce mixture.
• Dice eggs and add into mixture.
• Mix together ranch dressing and barbeque sauce(I use more than above since we love this dressing) and pour desired amount over salad.
• I do individual salads with this instead of mixing all together. The chicken tends to sink to the bottom.
• You can add whatever other veggies you want to it but my kids won't eat onions, peppers, etc so I skip them.

• Make the Caesar dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the anchovies, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, McCormick® Garlic Powder, lemon juice, and canola oil. Blend until combined with a consistency similar to mayonnaise. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste, and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the fried chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, McCormick® Garlic Powder, and McCormick® Paprika. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

• Heat ½ inch of canola oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the chicken thighs to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Make the salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the Little Gem lettuce, tomatoes, and Caesar dressing. Garnish with fried chicken croutons and more Parmesan.
