Equipment

  • Large pot
  • hand mixer or food processor to shred the chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins Use 2 cups of shredded chicken if you are using rotisserie or chicken breast
  • ¾ cup Duke's mayonnaise you can use another brand but Duke's is what a lot of restaurants use and will give you a very close taste to CSC
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch celery salt
  • 1 pinch salt or to taste
  • 1 pinch black pepper or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce (mild) I recommend Frank's
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapenos diced
  • 1 tablespoon ranch dressing I recommend Ken's
  • ½ cup bacon bits
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar

Instructions

  • Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken tenderloins and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Chicken should register 165 degrees (Fahrenheit) with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken cool and gather your other ingredients.
  • Move the chicken to a large mixing bowl and shred with your hand or stand mixer. This will help the chicken get super fine just like the restaurant version.
  • Add the mayonnaise, seasonings, ranch, sriracha, and buffalo sauce. Mix well. Stir in the cheddar, bacon bits, and diced pickled jalapenos.
  • Serve with crackers, toast, or on a salad.
