    I’m in Germany, so the only proper hot sauce we have is Tabasco Original. I used one Tbsp to start. Ended up adding a few more dashes. I prefer Crystal Hot Sauce, but…The Tabasco worked, and the chicken salad was fabulous! I also shredded the chicken in my food processor. I am now making this every other week! Thank you!

    Delicious! I’m a spice wimp so I only used 2 tbsp mild wing sauce and it was perfect!
