This grilled bang bang chicken salad is a vegetable salad composed on top of spinach leaves, and tossed with a sweet-spicy bang bang sauce dressing. Surrounded by spicy grilled chicken, then garnished with green onions and sliced almonds, it is a delicious, crunchy, summer dinner.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons riracha
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.5 pounds skinless , boneless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions

1
For chicken, stir buttermilk, Sriracha, and salt together in a large bowl until well blended. Add chicken pieces to the bowl, turning to coat in marinade. Allow to stand at room temperature while the grill heats.

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat, and clean the grates. When the grill is hot, pour cooking oil on a folded paper towel, and use tongs to oil the grates.

Thread chicken onto metal skewers, then place on the oiled grates, and grill each side until no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch for flare-ups, and move chicken away from the flame, if necessary. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove chicken to a cutting board and tent with foil.
