Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon
9 ounces cubed cooked chicken
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
4 radishes, diced
1 ½ cups chopped romaine lettuce
½ cup diced cucumber
1 stalk celery, sliced
2 slices red onion, chopped
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
3 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool.
  • Reheat chicken in the bacon fat, seasoning with salt and pepper, until just starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Drain chicken on paper towels and place in a large bowl. Add wing sauce and stir to coat all the pieces. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Break bacon into pieces and combine with chicken. Add tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, cucumber, celery, red onion, blue cheese, and dressing. Toss salad and divide between 2 plates.

This salad was a little too rich for my taste. The dressing was very heavy and the chicken was a bit greasy. I think I'll try a lighter recipe next time.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I'll stick to my old buffalo chicken recipe.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best buffalo chicken salad he's ever had.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. The chicken was a little dry, and the dressing was too bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
