These are the essentials!
Sauce:3/4 cups brown sugar
1/8 cup water
2 or more T. Frank's Original Hot Sauce (must be Frank's, no two hot sauces are created equally and it's found by the BBQ sauces at most supermarkets. I've never found it by the Tabasco!)
1 T. light corn syrup
Whisk together in small saucepan and boil for about a minute. It should look like a glossy sauce and no longer sugary. I use 2 T. Frank's for my kids and usually add 1 more T. for my husband and I. Sometimes we double the sauce.
Chicken:
I use the kind shown, found at Costco. Tyson has one, but it's pricey! It's important to use breaded chicken, but not the kind that's peppered! I've tried it and it's gross. I've also tried to bread the chicken myself and it doesn't taste right either. Anyway, I bake them on a cookie sheet and cook them a little longer than the pkg. says so that they're just a little crispy, but not overdone. You can fry them in oil, but that's way more work and too many more calories! When they're done, pour the sauce over!
Ranch:
I use the Hidden Valley Ranch Original, but mix it with buttermilk instead of milk and of course mayo! It's the closest thing to restaraunt ranch I can find. If I don't have buttermilk, I use milk and it's great, but it takes 2nd place in my opinion!
Basic Salad:
lettuce
tomato
cucumber
green bell pepper
purple or green onions
Assemble:
Put your salad on your plate. Put chicken with sauce on top. Pour on the Ranch and wa-la!
We love this and I've tried several mock recipes and have tweeked them into this and we're never disappointed. I love that the sauce is versatile and you can make it mild or very spicy! It's whatever you're in the mood for. I still can't figure out how to do the wings! We've experienced several failed attempts. I like this better myself anyway.

I made this last night and there is nothing left! It was devoured!
SO good!
I saw this recipe and have been wanting to try it. Haven't yet but it is on my 'for sure' list!
Wow! This is good. I followed your recipe because it looked better and it was awesome. We loved it. Unfortunately we have not been able to train our children's tongue's for spicy food and they squirm with the slightest hint of heat so I didn't put any sauce on their chicken but I was actually surprised how much it tamed down in the salad. Thanks for posting. It is definitely a keeper.
I'm so glad you liked it!
i tried this awhile ago, too! it was awesome. spencer was a little hesitant about all the veggies, but got really into it after a couple bites. thanks!
