Spicy Buffalo Chicken Salad Recipes

SPICY BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl stir together oil, vinegar, and the 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce. Pour over chicken in bag; seal bag. Turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Drain chicken, reserving marinade. For a charcoal grill, grill chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170°F), turning and brushing once with reserved marinade halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chicken on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as directed.) Discard any remaining marinade. Slice chicken diagonally.
• In a medium serving bowl stir together blue cheese salad dressing and the 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce. Add cabbage, carrots, celery, and three-fourths of the blue cheese. Toss to coat. Arrange sliced chicken on top of cabbage mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining blue cheese.
