4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ cup Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Sauce, divided plus 3 tablespoons
½ cup full-fat greek yogurt
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
⅓ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh chives, thinly sliced
4 oz crumbled blue cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more taste
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
3 celeries, thinly sliced, leaves reserved for garnish
3 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup grape tomato, halved
1 oz crumbled blue cheese
fresh chive, thinly sliced
fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken thighs and ½ cup (120 ml) Frank's RedHot® Buffalo sauce. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  • Make the buttermilk blue cheese dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, buttermilk, and chives. Whisk to incorporate before folding in the bleu cheese and seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to use. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut chicken into cubes and toss with the remaining 3 tablespoons of Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Sauce.
  • Assemble the salads: Add ½ cup (55 G) of the bleu cheese dressing to the lettuce and toss to coat. Divide the lettuce in between 4 bowls. Top with the chicken, celery, carrots, and tomatoes. Drizzle the remaining bleu cheese dressing on top. Garnish with the crumbled bleu cheese, chives, and dill. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

1 rotisserie chicken

Arrange the chips on a tray and warm in oven 2 to 3 minutes. Thinly slice or cut radishes into matchsticks using a box grater or mandoline, and do the same with carrots. Thinly slice celery on bias and add all the vegetables to the salad.
  • Top the salad with dressing, top the dressed greens with warm chips then with buffalo chicken and then top that with the scallions and pickled jalapenos.
