What are some of your favorite sauces for cold chicken? Given that it’s going to super hot here (SFBA) this week, cold chicken and salad are on the menu. Thanks!

I love Japanese sesame sauce like that which is used for shabu-shabu or Japanese sesame salad dressing. The ingredients are different, but either would work. Using bottled tahini as a base for either would make things easier.
I could post some recipes if you’d like.

Cobb salad usually works and platter style makes many portions.

Is there a TJs near you? Their Zhoug, chimichurri, and toum (garlic sauce) are all lovely with chicken.
The bottled harissa is also very good but needs a bit of help — puree it smooth and then thin with something (yogurt, sour cream, Mayo, whatever you have on hand).
Plain hoisin is also good with cold chicken especially in a faux peking duck situation with scallions and flour tortilla.
And the dressing for the Americanized ramen / asian slaw is good with chicken too — soy, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil (sriracha optional).

Ooh! I love tonnato & am always looking for reasons to make it. Using it with cold chicken had not crossed my mind yet.

We had a lovely roast broccoli dish at a Danish sushi chain that comes with goma. A lot of the sauces suggested here are highly versatile

Plenty of inspo in this thread, too.
I really like “goma ae” for greens and brassica vegetables. Here’s a somewhat easy recipe.

Thank you so much! I love broccoli almost every which way, but sauces make it even better.
