Can I Prep Jerk Chicken Salad Ahead of Time?

[NMmommy]

Can I do the chicken part the night before the show? Will it taste good cold?

I always serve my salad semi cold. I haven't made the boats yet, I always do it w/ the pasta and cold. I think it tastes better the next day personally. I have gotten rave reviews on this salad at my shows.

I think it would be fine. I tried the boats but have gone to just cutting the lettuce with the pink nylon knife. The boats look great but they were messier for the guests so I had a host who asked to just have it cut up. I like to have the chicked cooled down well anyway.

I think the chicken almost test better the next day. It is great either way. I also use my salad chopper to cut the lettuce instead of the boats. It is much easier. Plus it sells another product.

I served it warm and cold. People have said it is much better cold. I like to have mine after if has set in the frige overnight, all the flavors that you miss before are more present.

I evenwent so far as to purchase a grocery store rotiserrie (sp?) chicken the day before. I simply pull it apart, put the seasoning on it and let it sit over night by itslef. It was a hit so...

Thanks!!! I would prefer not to do the boats. So you just cut it all up and mix it together and serve it that way?

I think it would taste better cold myself. I would go for it! You can also have the host buy the seasoned cut up chicken by tyson or perdue. This is really good, too.

GREAT IDEA! I always cook a bunch of chicken at one time sliced in to strips, and then freeze it until I need it for a show. I was thinking that I would have to make different chicken with the jamaican jerk rub..but I'll just let it sit with some of the seasoning on it for the night! PERFECT, thanks

I've made this for my family and had leftovers, eaten them cold from the fridge over the next few days (if it lasts that long). It really is delicious and I think you'd be fine cooking the chicken the night before.
