Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed – ensures juicy, tender pieces
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt – for balanced flavor
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper – adds subtle heat
  • 1/4 cup buffalo hot sauce – the core spicy kick
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter – softens the heat and adds richness
  • 1 tablespoon honey – balances spice with sweetness
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens – choose fresh crisp greens for texture
  • 1 cup grilled corn – adds natural sweetness and smokiness
  • 1 avocado sliced – creamy contrast to spicy chicken
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese cubes – use freshly grated for best flavor
  • 6 slices crispy bacon chopped – adds crunch and umami

Method
 

  1. Start by mixing hot sauce, melted butter, and seasoned salt in a small bowl. Drizzle in honey and stir until fully combined. This sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.
  2. Cube the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken with some of the honey buffalo sauce for full flavor. Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Blend yogurt, mayo, and pickled jalapeños until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. This creamy dressing pairs beautifully with the spicy-sweet chicken.
  4. In a large bowl, combine greens, grilled corn, avocado, cheddar, and bacon. Place skewers on top, drizzle with dressing and extra honey buffalo sauce. Toss lightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • I like to grill the corn separately for added smoky flavor.
  • Tossing chicken in sauce while hot makes every bite more flavorful.
  • Make extra dressing—it’s irresistible when drizzled generously.
  • Use a mix of fresh greens to enhance texture and flavor.
