Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3- to 4-pound chicken, cut up and skinned
Juice 1 lemon
1 teaspoon Creole pepper (or substitute chili powder)
Coarse salt to taste
Flour for dredging
Vegetable shortening for deep frying
1 cup mayonnaise (preferably homemade)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or half teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (or half teaspoon dried)
1 jalapeno chili, minced
6 scallions, chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
1 small head red-leaf lettuce (or bibb or Boston)

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken in a mixture of the lemon juice and Creole pepper for a couple of hours.
  • Heat the shortening until smoking. Season the chicken pieces with salt and dredge them lightly with flour. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise with the thyme, tarragon, chili and scallions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix the olive oil and vinegar in a separate bowl and season. Toss the lettuce leaves in the dressing and arrange on a platter.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it in slices. Coat with the mayonnaise and place in the center of the lettuce leaves.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then eat it for lunch throughout the week.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fried chicken. I always have some leftover chicken after a fried chicken dinner, and this salad is a great way to use it up.

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add some chopped avocado and black beans to mine.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the crispy chicken and the creamy dressing, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I used rotisserie chicken in this salad instead of frying my own. It turned out great! The chicken was still moist and flavorful, and the salad was just as easy to make.

I added some chopped bacon to the salad and it was amazing! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor and it really took the salad to the next level.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It turned out great! The dressing was still creamy and flavorful, but it was a little bit lighter.
