# How to Prepare:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine buffalo sauce and honey, stirring until fully incorporated.
02 -
In a separate large bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, seasoned salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Pour in 60 ml of the prepared honey buffalo sauce and turn to evenly coat the chicken. Thread the coated chicken pieces onto skewers.
03 -
Preheat grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Place prepared chicken skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly charred and cooked through, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
04 -
While the chicken grills, add sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, pickled jalapeños, fresh cilantro, basil, dill, garlic powder, a pinch of kosher salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
05 -
In a large serving bowl, gently toss shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, sliced cherry tomatoes, grilled corn kernels, and chopped peperoncini with half of the herb dressing.
06 -
Top the salad with the grilled chicken skewers, crumbled blue cheese or cubed cheddar, crumbled bacon, and diced avocado. Serve alongside remaining dressing and extra honey buffalo sauce.
# Extra Tips:

For optimal flavor and juiciness, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after grilling before topping the salad.
