Okay so last night my sister and her family came over, and I threw some chicken leg quarters on the grill. When suddenly I remembered that I had to get the at the groomers, and they are closing in 15 minutes! So I asked someone to keep an eye out, I figured it was okay since it was on low... famous last words. On our way back I get the call that the chicken is charcoal and something about flames and having to move the bbq! I wasn't to sure if it was a joke at first, but then I realized that it wasn't. Hence the picture, to the right, funny how this chicken is not as bad as the rest.
I wasn't mad, in hindsight I usually am when things like this happen but this time not so much. I stopped at the store and got a big pack of chicken thighs. When I came home I discovered my sweet husband had popped them in the oven, which I was glad, cause I wasn't sure what I was going to do but I couldn't have 10 pounds of chicken go to waste.
Fast forward to today. So this afternoon when I remembered that we had a potluck birthday party to go to, I was oddly inspired by my chicken. I immediately chopped up some veggies in my fridge, tomatoes, olives, onions, cucumber and dill relish. De-boned and sorted threw the chicken. Tossed with mayo and made a salad. Which to my surprise was super delicious!
Here is the end result, I call it five alarm because the chicken was rescued from the flames!

Hey, so you used my potato salad recipe, glad to hear that. I'm just really thankful I didn't get the credit for the "5 alarm" part of the dinner. Really now, if you have invited me I probably would have made the potato salad and kept an eye on your chicken too! However then, how would we have a great new poster and delicious new recipe for chicken salad. I really think I want to try a grilled chicken salad with your recipe, minus the stress that is. This is my favorite place to visit. Kind of a for sure laugh store.
