Buffalo Chicken Salad! Creamy, flavorful, delicious and has a kick! Eat this in a sandwich, in a wrap, with crackers, tortilla chips or by the spoonful. It’s good!

Friends! I’m back with another chicken salad recipe. I made the deli style chicken salad, the curry chicken salad and now we’re making the Buffalo Chicken salad. If you’re on TikTok and follow Bethany Frankel, you know about the chicken salad saga. I’m not 100% sure how it started but I know for sure she made the chicken salad at Round Swamp Farm popular. They have a East Hampton, Bridgehampton and Montauk location. I don’t know about you, but most of us can’t get to the Hamptons easily so I made the recipe so we could all have chicken salad!

In her latest TikTok video, she introduces a Buffalo Chicken salad from De Cicco and Sons. After seeing her take a bite, I knew I had to make a recipe of my own. I already had everything at home with the exception of the Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wings sauce. For me, this was the only hot sauce to get. Try this recipe and let me know what you think! Eat this in a sandwich, wrap, with chips or by the spoonful. Let me know if you try it!

Buffalo Chicken Salad

For more flavor, add some fresh diced green onions or scallions and use fresh minced garlic! *I'm told that adding gorgonzola cheese (or any blue cheese crumbles) would be an excellent addition.

Equipment

  • stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or electric hand mixer optional

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast  boneless, skinless
  • 3/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Wings Buffalo Sauce + more if desired
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup red onions finely diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions or scallions finely diced; optional
  • 1/4 cup celery finely diced
  • gorgonzola cheese* or any blue cheese crumbles
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the chicken:

  • For the chicken: chop chicken breasts into 2 to 3 inch pieces. Bring a pot of water to a boil and once boiling, carefully place the chicken into the boiling water. Turn the heat down to medium high. Let cook for about 8 to 9 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.**
  • Using your stand mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment, place your cooked chicken into the stand mixer and starting at a low speed, let the mixer go, then slowly increase the speed to high and your chicken should be all shredded up (like the photo above) in about 30 seconds. If you don't have a stand mixer, shred up your chicken using two forks. Set aside.

For the chicken salad:

  • Using a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, Mayonnaise, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (start with 1 teaspoon), buffalo sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix until all combined. Taste and adjust any seasonings as needed.
  • Add in the diced red onions, green onions or scallions (if desired) and celery and season with salt and pepper. Mix until everything is combined and everything is nicely mixed. *I'm told that adding gorgonzola cheese (or any blue cheese crumbles) would be an excellent addition. Taste one more time and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Transfer your buffalo chicken salad to a bowl (covered) or airtight container with lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (if desired) so that the flavors can meld together.
  • MAKE AHEAD: if you are making this chicken salad for an event, brunch or lunch, you can make in advance and chill in the fridge overnight. The chicken salad tastes even better the next day! Enjoy in a sandwich, with some greens, in a wrap, with crackers or chips, or just on its own!

Notes

*I'm told that adding gorgonzola cheese (or any blue cheese crumbles) would be an excellent addition. Bethenny Frankel entered the chat and said so. 
**I find that the chicken shreds up easier in the stand mixer when it's freshly cooked and moist; not cold and hard.

      Hello, yes you can but I would adjust the salt as most rotisserie chickens are already salty.
