• While the pasta is cooking chop half of a red onion, 5 stalks of celery, and half of a precooked whole chicken into equal size small pieces. Add all of these to a large mixing bowl along with the container of blue cheese crumbles.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the hot sauce and olive oil, I use an immersion blender as these two items are not easy to combine. If you are using a whisk slowly add the olive oil while mixing.
