Kitchen tip
You can also cook your own chicken for this salad recipe. We rely on a seasoned rotisserie chicken to make the crispy skin extra-flavourful, but you can substitute the skin with crispy bacon if you’re not using rotisserie chicken.
To cook bacon:
Lay strips flat on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400F until crispy, 15 to 20 min.
