For this recipe, you will need:

To shred the chicken up really fine like the restaurant version, you will need a hand or stand mixer.
⏲️ Recipe instructions (step by step guide)
Begin by adding water to large potting. Boil the water and add your chicken tenderloins. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You will also be able to tell the chicken is done when you shred it.
Set it aside to cool and gather your other ingredients. Use a hand or stand mixer to shred the chicken into fine pieces (image 1).

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!
