This salad is a flavour explosion that is easily pulled together with any ingredients you have in the fridge or garden. Perfect as a main meal or leave the chicken out as a side
salad to go with your protein of choice.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (boneless & skinless)

Dressing

Directions
- Season your chicken thighs with Man Grind and coat in Bourbon Maple BBQ sauce. Also coat your bacon in the Sweet Bourbon St. Maple BBQ sauce and set aside.
- Turn your BBQ or grill pan to a medium high heat and cook your chicken until golden and cooked through. Set aside to rest while you cook your bacon until cooked to your liking.
- Take your salad greens and assemble in a bowl or a platter. Lay the cucumber basil and red onion over the salad greens.
- In a small jug or jar mix together all the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad on the platter.
