Grilled Buffalo Chicken Salad Recipes

GRILLED BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare grill for direct heat.
• Season chicken breasts liberally with dry rub.
• Place chicken over direct heat, and grill, roughly 6 minutes each side or until an instant read thermometer reads 155 degrees. Glaze the hot sauce onto both sides of the chicken and then continue cooking until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F (this should only be another 2 minutes or so).
• At the same time, add bacon and corn to the direct heat of grill and grill bacon for 6 minutes per side or until crispy. Watch for flare ups due to grease, keep lid to grill closed or move bacon around outer edge of grill. Grill corn until soft.
• In a small saucepan on low heat combine the hot sauce and butter and stir until butter is melted into sauce. About four minutes.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl, add sliced chicken, add preferred dressing, toss together, and serve.

GRILLED BUFFALO CHICKEN COBB SALAD

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Combine the garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Place the chicken cutlets on a large plate or baking sheet and drizzle each piece lightly with the oil. Season both sides of the chicken with the garlic powder blend.
• Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through and grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean platter to rest for 10 minutes, then slice into thin strips and place in a medium bowl.
• Place the butter and hot sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat, either on the grill or on a stovetop. Whisk to combine the hot sauce with the butter until melted and smooth. Add to the bowl with the sliced chicken and toss to coat.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, chives, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl and mix well.
• For the salad: Arrange the iceberg lettuce on a platter or in individual bowls. Top with rows of the cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, bacon, carrots, celery, eggs and avocado. Sprinkle the corn chips over the top and spoon over the sliced chicken. Finish with a drizzle of the dressing.

GRILLED BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue to medium. Peel long ribbons from carrot into a large bowl, turning as you go. Add lettuce leaves and celery. Whisk milk with mayo, dill, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir hot sauce with butter and honey in a large bowl. Set both aside.
• Oil grill, then barbecue chicken, covered, until springy when pressed, six to eight minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 1/2 - inch thick strips. Add to hot-sauce mixture and turn to coat. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until coated. Top with chicken and cheese.
• I didn't happen to have romaine, so I used iceberg. Also, no blue cheese, so feta was substituted. We like things hot, so I didn't put the butter or honey in the hot sauce. I used Frank's Red Hot, right out of the bottle.
