Crispy Hot Honey Chicken Salad With Yogurt Dressing

ingredients & substitutions

All substitutions are a 1:1 substitute unless otherwise noted. See recipe card for quantities.

• Honey: If you are using hot honey, you can omit the cayenne pepper
• Corn: I use canned corn for the ease of it, but frozen corn or diced bell pepper will work too
• Avocados: It’s very helpful to use perfectly ripe or slightly underripe avocados so they don’t soften too much while the salad is out. We love Avoha avocados, Fuerte or Hass. The lime juice also helps to keep them from turning brown.
• Chicken tenders: I like tenders because there is less breading and more meat while still having that delicious crunch, but you can use grilled chicken strips, rotisserie chicken, or 24 chicken nuggets. You can also make your own crispy chicken using chicken thighs, tenders, wings, etc.
