Directions
Combin the cooked chicken, blue cheese dressing, crispy bacon, mayonnaise, and chopped pecans in a big bowl. Add in some diced onion and celery for a nice crunch. Next, pour in the hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice to give it a little zing. Sprinkle in Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of black pepper, salt, garlic, parsley, and paprika to bring all the flavors together. Give everything a good mix until it’s well combined. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors can really meld. When you’re ready, give it a quick stir and it’s good to go!
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve on a bed of crisp lettuce or mixed greens for extra crunch. Add some sliced celery or carrots for a refreshing bite. This salad also pairs well with crusty bread or tortilla chips for scooping.
Reheating And Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate if possible to prevent the greens from getting soggy. Reheat the chicken gently before mixing if you prefer it warm.
