Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
In the meantime, tear the ciabatta into roughly 2cm chunks.
Pop the ciabatta onto a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat well. Set aside.
Meanwhile, halve the iceberg lettuce and thinly slice (see ingredients for amount). Cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the Central American style spice mix.
Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
When the potatoes have 10 mins left, bake the croutons on the middle shelf until golden, 8-10 mins, then remove from the oven and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the hot sauce, honey, cider vinegar, and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
When everything's ready, add the roasted potatoes, spiced chicken, iceberg lettuce and tomatoes to the bowl of dressing.
Toss together until everything's evenly coated in the dressing, then stir through your croutons.
Share the salad between your bowls and sprinkle over the hard Italian style cheese.
Drizzle over the mayonnaise (see pantry for amount) to finish.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The hot-and-sweet buffalo-style dressing paired with spiced chicken and crispy croutons delivers a bold, satisfying combination that surprises many who wouldn't normally choose a salad.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to make, with most of the work happening in the oven; cooking the potatoes in an air fryer is a handy shortcut that several found sped things up.
- Suggestions: Add the dressing just before serving and keep the lettuce separate until the last moment to prevent wilting; reduce the cider vinegar if you find the dressing too sharp, and consider halving the hot sauce for a milder result. Adding avocado, cucumber, or extra tomatoes is a popular way to bulk out the salad.
- Next-day meals: The salad is best eaten fresh, as the croutons soften and the lettuce wilts once dressed; one reviewer noted it worked well as a packed lunch when kept separately.
- Portions: A few found the lettuce and tomato quantity on the light side for two people, so adding extra salad leaves or a second tomato is worth considering.
