Prepare the Smoked Chicken
- Rub the chicken with chili powder, butter, lemon juice, and salt. Marinate for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer releasing liquid. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Remove the chicken meat from the bones, shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
Smoke the Chicken (Optional)
- For a smokier flavour, you can smoke the cooked chicken using a smoker or by placing it on a wire rack over burning charcoal. Smoke for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly smoky.
Assemble the Salad
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, green chilies, and chickpeas. Add the shredded smoked chicken, mayonnaise, and mirin. Stir gently to combine.
Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
