Rotisserie Chicken Salad on Pretzel Buns
Inspiration is a fickle thing.
Sometimes it won't bonk you over the head even if you want it to. And sometimes it's just handed to you as a sample at Costco.
The latter was the case when the warehouse store had a sample of Rotisserie Chicken Salad on Pretzel Buns one weekend. We tried it and loved it; it inspired us to make our own recipe.
Soft, chewy pretzel buns. Crunch from celery and onion. Sweetness from lemon juice and mayo. And just a hint of smokiness from the rotisserie chicken.
Yep, fabulous. (And fabulously easy.)
