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.

2
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.

3
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.

For dressing, combine sweet Thai chili sauce, Sriracha, soy sauce, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, and sesame oil in a pint jar. Cover jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until dressing is well blended. Set aside.

For salad, place broccoli slaw, matchstick carrots, chopped snow peas, and grilled chicken pieces in a salad bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss.
