Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
Yes! But keep everything separate until you're ready to eat. Store the fried chicken, toasted buns, and salad (with out the dressing) ingredients separately. Put dressing on the salad and warm the bread and fried chicken up in the oven when you're ready to assemble just before serving to keep it crispy.
