Recipe Tips
- Use cooked and cooled chicken: Make sure your chicken is fully cooked and cooled before mixing to keep the salad creamy, not watery.
- Shred chicken finely: Finely shredded chicken mixes better with the dressing and gives a smoother texture.
- Choose a good buffalo sauce: A high-quality buffalo sauce makes a big difference in flavour—pick one you love!
- Chill before serving: Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to help the flavours blend well.
- Adjust heat level: Add more or less buffalo sauce to make it as mild or spicy as you like. Taste and tweak!
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Buffalo Chicken Salad cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days.
