Steps:
- 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.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then again in the flour mixture.
- 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.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- For a crispy chicken, cook it over high heat until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Use a variety of lettuces in the salad, such as romaine, iceberg, and arugula, for a more complex flavor and texture.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh for the best flavor.
- To make a creamy Caesar dressing, use mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard as the base.
- Add some anchovies to the dressing for a more authentic flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, so the dressing doesn't wilt the lettuce.
