FRIED CHICKEN CROUTON CAESAR SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD WITH HOMEMADE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place bread on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Whisk together oil, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper in a liquid measure. Pour mixture over the bread and toss with your hands until evenly coated. Spread bread mixture into a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and toasted, yet slightly soft in the center, 15 to 18 minutes, tossing croutons a few times during baking. Remove from the oven and let cool completely while you prepare the salad.
• Place garlic, anchovies, and salt in a large salad serving bowl; press the mixture with a fork until a paste forms. Stir in egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Slowly whisk in olive oil until all is incorporated and mixture is well blended and smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove about 1/4 cup of dressing and set aside for another use.
• When ready to serve, add lettuce and 1/2 of the croutons to the bowl with the remaining dressing; toss until well coated. Reserve remaining croutons for another use.
• Sprinkle salad with additional Parmesan and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
