Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 400F. For easier cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment.
2
|
Place ½ cup barbecue sauce in a bowl (reserve the rest for later), and brush it onto both sides of the chicken thighs.
3
|
Bake the chicken for 30 minutes or until the internal temp is 165F. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest before cutting it into bite sized pieces.
4
|
Add the shallots to a microwave safe bowl and cover them with oil. Microwave the shallots for 5 minutes, then stir them and microwave for another minute. Stir again, microwave another 30 seconds to a minute, stir, and so on until shallots are golden brown but not burnt (about 7-8 minutes total).
5
|
Using a slotted spoon, remove the shallots and place them on a paper towel lined plate to cool and crisp. Season the shallots with salt.
6
|
Mix the ranch ingredients together.
7
|
Place the lettuce, diced cooked chicken, corn, tomatoes, black beans, and green onions in a large salad bowl.
8

Toss the salad with your desired amount of ranch dressing and all of the reserved barbecue sauce.

Top the salad with the crispy shallots and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ranch Dressing Hack 🥗Let ranch ingredients sit for 30 minutes before mixing to allow dried herbs to rehydrate and intensify flavor profiles.
- Crispy Shallot Pro Tip 🧅Slice shallots uniformly thin and soak in ice water for 10 minutes before frying to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent burning.
- Chicken Marinade Trick 🍗Marinate chicken thighs in half the barbecue sauce for 2-4 hours to infuse deep flavor and ensure juicy, tender meat.
- Corn Roasting Secret 🌽Pat frozen fire-roasted corn completely dry before adding to salad to prevent excess moisture and maintain crisp texture.
- Salad Assembly Technique 🥬Layer ingredients from heaviest to lightest, with chicken and beans at bottom and delicate lettuce on top, to prevent wilting.
