What Makes This Recipe So Good
This platter is perfect for game day because it offers a variety of flavors and textures that everyone can enjoy. It’s easy to share and keeps guests satisfied without much fuss. Plus, it’s colorful and inviting, making your party table look fantastic.
Step 1
Break the ramen noodles into small pieces right into a bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning packets over the noodles. Then, pour enough boiling water to just cover the noodles. Cover the bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are soft.
Step 2
Once the noodles are ready, stir in the mayonnaise, cooked chicken, jalapeño peppers, and a splash of hot sauce. Give everything a good mix to combine all the flavors. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill for about an hour before serving.
