Buffalo Chicken Salad

Buffalo Chicken Salad

Are you a buffalo wing lover?

I don’t know many people who aren’t. 

With the hot sticky days of summer upon us, this chilled chicken salad packs all the flavor of those beloved buffalo wings in a much cooler and lighter way. 

It’s a simple, economical recipe that uses a readily available super market rotisserie chicken so that you won’t be heating up your own kitchen.  Of course leftover chicken works well too.  

All you need is a few additional ingredients and you’re on your way to a delicious lunch.  And if you need a quick party appetizer just stuff this salad into celery stalks and they're ready to go.  It’s a new twist on Buffalo wings that gets them all dressed up for the summer season.
