Honey BBQ Ranch Rotisserie Chicken Salad

Chicken salad is one of my favorite lunches; especially now that I'm homebound recuperating from double ankle surgery. I tend to eat three smaller meals per day instead of a larger breakfast, snack and dinner. 

My body is craving protein; which helps with the healing process. Most of the time I'll just make regular rotisserie chicken salad, but every now and then I like to mix it up a bit and add different flavors.

Some of my other favorites are Napa Almond Chicken Salad, Greek Chicken Salad and the classic Waldorf Chicken Salad. Plus, emptying out the fridge is always a plus too; which is how this Honey BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad came to be. 

Since I can't drive, my girls have been doing most of the food shopping and a rotisserie chicken is always on our weekly shopping list.

They come in handy to make salads, soups and even repurposed into different meals like I shared in this post for 10 Rotisserie Chicken Dinner Recipes. You'll definitely want to check that out! 

Honey BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad

What type of chicken is best?

Personally, I prefer using all white meat when making chicken salad. If utilizing a store bought rotisserie chicken like I did, I save the dark meat for pot pie or chicken soup. 

You can also use leftovers from a whole roasted chicken, grilled or boiled chicken breasts. 

How do you make Honey BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad?

For this recipe you'll need precooked chicken, celery, scallions, honey bbq sauce, Ranch salad dressing, Kosher salt and black pepper. 

Shred the chicken with your fingers or dice into small pieces with a knife; then place in a medium bowl. Next, add the diced celery and scallions.

In a small separate bowl, combine the bbq sauce and dressing until well blended; then add it to the chicken and mix well. Season with salt and pepper; then keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

What is the best kind of bbq sauce to use?

Everyone has their favorites, but mine is Honey BBQ Sauce. You can substitute your favorite regular bbq sauce and add some honey to it if you'd like also. 

If you're feeling ambitious, you can even make your own bbq sauce and switch up the flavors in this chicken salad.

Here are a few to try: 

  • Sun Dried Tomato BBQ Sauce
  • Honey Maple BBQ Sauce
  • Whiskey Maple BBQ Sauce

How do you serve chicken salad?

You can serve chicken salad by itself, with crackers, as a sandwich on bread or a roll, or place a scoop on top of your favorite salad. You can even stuff it inside of celery too!

This Honey BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad was tangy, smokey and delicious! ~Enjoy!
