A variation on a Mexican caesar paired with sweet and smoky fried chicken
This is essentially a take on a Mexican caesar, with inspiration borrowed from an old fave Portland restaurant who has since removed the dish from their menu—Ok Omens, for inquiring minds. The salad is made complete with an herby, velvety Cotija dressing, corn nuts, and of course, fried chicken. I missed this dish so much that I came up with a recipe as soon as I moved to LA back in 2021, and while it’s fairly time-consuming, it’s worth it every time. Hope you enjoy!
Prep includes at least an hour of marinating + an hour of refrigeration time for the dressing, and it’ll take about 40 minutes to fry all of the chicken.
