Barbecue Fried Chicken Salad Recipe

August 28, 2012 by Lisa Pinney

 Barbecue Fried Chicken Salad
I really don’t fry food too much anymore…you know that “not healthy for you” thing and such…sigh…
But, I really enjoy fried chicken from time to time.  
I also love to incorporate it into a salad…hey, doesn’t that negate the “not healthy” status…
you know…
 when you put it in a salad?  
 
Yeah, I know…I’m dreaming…
 
But this is a pretty, simple and scrumptious dish to serve as a 
full meal or to take to a pot-luck.  
 
Everybody will think you’ve spent all day creating the masterpiece but only you will have to know just how easy this recipe is! 
 Ingredients:
4-6 Frozen Breaded Chicken Tenders
Lettuce of your choice
Chopped Tomatoes
1 chopped Granny Smith Apple
1 can Mexicorn, drained
1 cup French’s Fried Onions
1 1/2 cup shredded Mexican Queso Cheese
1/2 cup Ranch Dressing of your choice
2-3 TBSP BBQ sauce of your choice
The Cast Of Characters…
 
I seem to be missing some from the list above…I’m not sure why they weren’t there for the photo shoot….sometimes ingredients are just temperamental…just saying..
 
 Combine the Ranch Dressing and the BBQ Sauce to make the lovely drizzling sauce…
Dust off that deep fryer you have in the back of the cabinet 
and fire it up…
You’ll next start placing your ingredients in a pretty pattern 
on the serving plate…
Lettuce….apples….
Chopped tomatoes…
Mexicorn….
 
 French Fried Onions…
 
 Chop up that lovely fried chicken…
 
 Place it on the lettuce…
(Right after you put the cheese on…)
 
 Next, right before serving, drizzle on that yummy sauce…
 



Perfection!!
Another thing that’s so great about this salad is that you can substitute the dressings–Honey Mustard, Ranch, etc. 
You can also change up the fruit or lettuce. 
If you don’t like your chicken fried, you can change it to grilled or change the meat all together…
 but…if you don’t enjoy your chicken fried…
what’s wrong with you??   
If you really want to go crazy, you can also add nuts…
but,  if you do…what’s wrong with you??  
I only like my pecans in a pie or a pan of brownies…just saying…
 
As you can see, crazy or not, many different combinations 
can be made–just have fun and enjoy–yum!
