• Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces. I sometimes use Southwest flavored chicken strips instead of grilled. Just depends on what I have on hand.

• 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.
• Add the pasta and sauce to the large mixing bowl and mix well but don't destroy the pasta. You are looking to get all the little bits of goodness to get into the ridges of the pasta.
