Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up). Break up your ramen noodles into small pieces and place them on the baking sheet. Toast for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown. You may need to turn on the broiler (for 1-2 minutes) for additional color. Watch it carefully!
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients and whisk. Place the dressing in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
In a large bowl, add the rotisserie chicken and toss with the Teriyaki sauce to cover.
Add the coleslaw mix, cilantro, diced water chestnuts, and mandarin oranges. Gently toss to combine. Top with the green onions, almonds, and the baked ramen noodles.
Just prior to serving, whisk your dressing again and pour over the salad to coat.
