Servings: 2 people

Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast (medium to large in size)
- 1 tablespoons Ultimate Dry Rub (link in notes below)
- 2 pieces bacon
- 1 corn on the cob (optional)
- ½ cup Franks RedHot hot sauce (or your favorite wing sauce)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the Salad and Optional Toppings
- 1 head romaine lettuce chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- ¼ red onion sliced thinly
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 celery stalk, sliced
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- ranch dressing (pour to your preference)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For the Chicken and Grilled Bacon and Corn
- Prepare grill for two zone grilling and target 450 degrees Fahrenheit. While grill is warming up season the chicken liberally with the seasoning.
- Grill: Place chicken over direct heat, and grill, roughly 6 minutes each side or until an instant read thermometer reads 160 - 165 degrees F using a good instant read thermometer.
- Grill: At the same time, add bacon and corn to the direct heat of grill and grill bacon for 6 minutes per side or until crispy. Watch for flare ups due to grease, keep lid to grill closed or move bacon around outer edge of grill. Grill corn until soft.
For The Sauce
- Combine: In a small saucepan on low heat combine the hot sauce and butter and stir until butter is melted into sauce. About four minutes.
For The Salad
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl except chicken and stir to combine. Add sliced chicken to a large bowl and then toss with the wing sauce. Plate the salad and top with the chicken and some of the blue cheese.
Notes
Note: I also like to add a bit more of the hot sauce/butter mixture drizzled over the top of the salad for added flavor.
