FRIED CHICKEN SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK-CHIVE DRESSING

Steps:

• For the fried chicken: Using a mallet, lightly pound the thighs to flatten. Combine the hot sauce and 2 cups of the buttermilk in a large re-sealable gallon bag. Slice the chicken into 1-inch thick slices and add to the bag. Marinate for 40 minutes in the fridge.
• In a large, deep cast-iron or heavy skillet, bring the oil to 350 degrees F.
