Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine your cooked diced chicken with honey garlic sauce and buffalo wing sauce. Toss everything together until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the rich, sticky sauce. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add your chopped romaine lettuce and drizzle ranch dressing over it. Use tongs to gently toss the lettuce until it’s evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
  3. On individual serving plates, lay down a generous layer of the dressed romaine lettuce, then layer on diced red onions, sweet red bell peppers, and refreshing cucumber slices.
  4. Take the honey garlic and buffalo-coated chicken and pile it high on top of each plate. You can sprinkle fresh herbs or additional pepper for flavor if desired.
  5. Serve the finished Honey Hot Chicken Salad immediately for the best texture and flavor.
