Chicky Vicky Instructions
Prepare the following the day before serving.
Cut up fresh rotisserie chicken and add celery, red onion, scallions and cherry tomatoes.
Pour 2 bottles of salad dressing into a large measuring cup or bowl.
Add orange rind, orange juice and honey and whisk well.
Pour salad dressing over chicken in desired quantity. Note if you make a smaller chicken or want a milder taste, use less dressing. However, reserve the rest of the dressing to freshen chicken since a lot of the dressing will be absorbed.
