JERK TAVERNJuly 20, 2021

My husband and I have been loving us some Chicken Salad from Wendy’s on those days when you just don’t feel like cooking. But since we’re trying not to be so unhealthy, we usually just grab our favorite salads from Wendy’s. Normally I get the Southwest Avocado Salad and he gets the Jalapeño Popper Salad. His with fried chicken and mine with grilled. Check out our Chicken Salad-Two Ways Fried and Baked.

So we decided that hey we can definitely make this Chicken Salad-Two Ways Fried and Baked but make it better and make it our own. So we came up with the idea like why not combine our salad and make it one. And just add some of our favorites fruits on it. And am I the only one that think cuties tangerine and cranberries were just meant to be in a salads?

Comment below and let me know. We never really added mangos to the salads we make but, we were so happy that we decided to add the mangos. This Chicken Salad-Two Ways Fried and Baked was so delicious guys I’m so excited for you guys to try this recipe.

The method of scooping. folding and patting the flour into the chicken is a game changer. Along with using the water to crunch on a chicken breast like never before.

Baked chicken is more on the healthier side of this meal. It was so Delicious, tender, and juicy. Baked chicken is definitely on the easier side of cooking. You will enjoy this salad either way.
