Fried Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Remove and discard the bones from the chicken. Chop up the meat, with the fried skin, into small pieces (you should have about 6 cups).
• Set aside 1 tablespoon each of the celery, scallions and pickle.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, pickle brine, buttermilk, yellow mustard and a couple dashes hot sauce in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining celery, scallion and pickle.
• Add the chopped chicken to the bowl and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and more hot sauce if you'd like. Transfer to a large serving bowl and sprinkle with the reserved celery, scallion and pickle. Serve on potato rolls with a few dashes of hot sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Season the flour with some seasoning salt. Lightly dredge both sides of the chicken in the seasoned flour, and then dip in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, and then dredge in the seasoned flour again. Place the breaded chicken in the saute pan and fry until crisp and golden brown.
• In a large bowl, toss together the romaine, tomatoes, and red onions with some of the Sweet Dijon vinaigrette. Slice the fried chicken breasts and arrange on top of the salad.
• Combine the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper.
• Yield: 4 servings

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and place popcorn chicken on baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
• For dressing:
• Mix together ranch dressing and BBQ seasoning in small bowl and set aside.
• For salad:
• Place lettuce in large bowl. Add dressing and toss with tongs until lettuce is coated. Set aside. Cut each tomato into 8 wedges and the cucumber into 16 slices. Divide lettuce onto 4 cold plates. Arrange each salad with 4 tomato wedges, 4 cucumbers, and 4 baby carrots. Top each salad with 1/4 of the chicken pieces.

Steps:

• Cut the whole chickens into 4 breasts, 4 thighs, 4 legs and 4 wings and set aside.
• Preheat your oil, in either a heavy pan on the stove or a deep-fryer, to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
• Pour the buttermilk into another bowl large enough for the chicken to be immersed in the buttermilk.
• Prepare your dredging station. Place your chicken in a bowl. Next to that, your bowl of buttermilk, and next to that, your dry mixture.
• Take your breasts, lightly dust them with your flour mixture, then dip them in the buttermilk until they are coated, and then place them in the flour mixture.
• Take the breasts that are in the flour mixture and aggressively push the flour mixture into the wet chicken. Make sure that the chicken in very thoroughly coated, or you will not achieve the crust and crunch you are looking for. Gently place the breasts in your hot oil.
• Next, repeat the dredging steps with your other pieces of chicken in this order: thigh, leg then wing.
• When you place the last wing into the fryer, you should have 16 pieces of chicken in the oil. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, take a probe thermometer and check the temperature of a breast. If it reads 180 degrees F, all of your chicken is done. (Keep in mind that it will continue to cook after it has been removed from the fryer.)
• Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain for 5 minutes. Let cool for an additional 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, mustard, Italian seasoning, cayenne and lemon juice. Add the chicken, parsley, celery and green onions, and toss to coat in the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Let the chicken salad hang out for 30 minutes or so to allow the flavors to marry. Divide evenly among the croissants. Serve.

Steps:

• Chop fried chicken and mix with diced celery, onion, mayo, pepper and Jane's Krazy salt. Mix well and chill for a couple of hours before serving.
• We make sandwiches with it but you can also stuff tomatoes or use it any way you like. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Beat egg in a shallow dish.
• Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a shallow dish.
• Season chicken with Cajun seasoning. Dip chicken into beaten egg and dredge in bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly.
• Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook breaded chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain chicken on paper towels. Slice into strips.
• Divide lettuce, tomato, carrots, and hard-boiled eggs between 2 large pasta bowls. Top with sliced chicken; drizzle salad dressing on top.

Steps:

• Boil eggs and let them cool.
• Bake chicken tenders according to directions on package(I have also used leftover chicken in this).
• Tear or prepare lettuce as normal.
• Add cheese, tomato, and cucumber to lettuce.
• Cut chicken into bite size pieces and put into lettuce mixture.
• Dice eggs and add into mixture.
• Mix together ranch dressing and barbeque sauce(I use more than above since we love this dressing) and pour desired amount over salad.
• I do individual salads with this instead of mixing all together. The chicken tends to sink to the bottom.
• You can add whatever other veggies you want to it but my kids won't eat onions, peppers, etc so I skip them.
