Best 6 Fried Chicken Dinner 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.

Steps:

• Remove and discard the bones from the chicken. Chop up the meat, with the fried skin, into small pieces (you should have about 6 cups).
• Set aside 1 tablespoon each of the celery, scallions and pickle.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, pickle brine, buttermilk, yellow mustard and a couple dashes hot sauce in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining celery, scallion and pickle.
• Add the chopped chicken to the bowl and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and more hot sauce if you'd like. Transfer to a large serving bowl and sprinkle with the reserved celery, scallion and pickle. Serve on potato rolls with a few dashes of hot sauce.

• Preheat oven to 150°F. In heavy large pot, heat 3 1/2 inches oil until deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F.
