About this Recipe

The salad starts with an easy sheet pan chicken, pulled from a quick two-ingredient marinade of buttermilk and Buffalo Spice. Stay with the recipe proportions for a satisfying medium heat or fire it up with more Buffalo Spice. 


The heat is complimented by the tang of apple cider vinegar and a pep of lemon crystal for a lively and versatile flavor.


This chicken is sure to be a staple around our house this summer and will do equally well on the grill. Then toss it together with all the other goodies and you've got a salad that really satisfies.



And just for fun: is it blue or bleu cheese?

Instructions

For the Chicken: 

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and Buffalo Spice. Add the chicken thighs, turning each one in the marinade to thoroughly coat all the nooks and crannies.

3

Arrange the marinated thighs on the sheet pan and cook for 35 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat reached 165 degrees.

4

Adjust the oven to broil, and blister the chicken for a few blackened bits, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and chop into bite sized bits, then drizzle them with the pan juices and set aside.

5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad.

For the Salad:  

6

Wash, dry and rough cup the Romaine lettuce. Transfer the greens to a platter and toss with the chopped parsley.

7

Add the tomatoes around the edge of the platter, and arrange the Buffalo chicken in the center.

8

Top with green onions, bacon and blue cheese crumbles, a sprinkle of Provencal Salt and more parsley to garnish.
