I add a little Sweet Pickle Relish to My Chicken Salad and My Egg Salad or Dill Pickle Relish if You prefer. I think it's a just a Southern thing...But You don't want to add too much to become soupy. Many Blessings Y'all!✝️🙏💗🕊🎺🇺🇸
@@corrhall1 That is 'better than bouillon' . The basics are chicken and roasted beef flavors. There are others like the Italian blend - I use for recipes for soups like minestrone . But there is a chipotle blend that I go to for flavoring rice and beans for mex-tex recipes
The moisture in the onions, celery and pickles is what will make any salad wet after it’s been chilled in the refrigerator. If you’ll double up some paper towels and lay them on top of your salad and then proceed to cover the bowl with cling wrap you won’t have soggy salad. The paper towels will have absorbed all the excess liquid. I’ve been doing this for 40 years. It works.
@@PunkPunkMerc I squeeze the water out of the veg with paper towels. Works great. Avoids the sloppy mess of straining it next day only to add even more mayo….this is a much better way to eliminate too much moisture.
This is the reason I don't add any veggies into mine. I also use store-bought grilled chicken. If I want some onions I add (also store-bought) dried fried onions which add a new dimension to the flavour. No problems with excess liquid and the salad lasts for the whole weekend in the fridge like new and no soggy sandwiches : )
Your son is a phenomenal young man and I love how clear he is with his opinions. He really makes this whole channel feel so much more authentic. I decided to subscribe after his review of the salad, if your kids like your cooking, then you know you're good!
I am a long islander, born & raised, and a lover of chicken salad. Many years ago I was in the city having lunch with my sister and we ordered the chicken salad...it had dried cranberries in it, and it was amazing! From that day on, if I don't have the dried cranberries, I don't make chicken salad🤷♀
Worked in NYC mid town in the late 80's and early 90's. Best delis on the planet! Feel like I lived in the well known and other not so well known delis for 5 years. Miss them. Thanks for your informative videos on NY Deli salads, etc. James, as your son, seems unbiased in his critiques. Great kid! .
This can also be made with post-Thanksgiving leftover roast turkey! I use a bit of poultry seasoning and in addition to the chopped onion and celery, throw in some slivered almonds or other chopped nuts, some dried cranberries, and even a scoop of leftover stuffing mixed in fine for extra flavor/texture. Stupendous!
I grew up in Long Island as well and worked in an Italian bakery and a deli so I could totally relate. This looks amazing gonna give it a try. I love watching you and your son. You guys are such a great team. God bless you, Jim you’re a good dad.👍😊
something I do with 'loose' sandwiches like these: pinch out a little of the bread in the top bun, create a cavity the filling can sit in. Helps keep it from squeezing out the sides when you bite. (bbq pulled meat sandwiches, maid-rites, etc...)
Your NY deli chicken, tuna and shrimp salad recipes have completely changed the way I make these. I must add that I have been making these for about 50 years! You have honed the ingredients to the tee. I find no need to change a thing. The biggest most paramount method tip is to chill overnight and then drain and more mayo if necessary. That made the major shift in the taste and presentation of these salads. Thank you so much. I love your recipes AND, your son is awesome! Love him!!!!! The very best to all of you!!
You literally just showed up in my feed and I loved this video! You had me at the title, then the accent, then your wife chilling in the background and chiming in, then your son being the ultimate decider. It felt very organic and homey. I also appreciated the details and step by step.
I’ve made this 3x since watching this vid. I love chx salad and have tried many recipes/techniques. THIS IS INSANE. The major changes Jim recommends are: 1) boiling water, then remove from heat/cover. 2) better than bouillon in water 3) sugar 4) really massaging seasonings into chicken while warm. Amazing results.
Jim, My son is about the same age as James and absolutely loves chicken salad. When I told him about this he was super excited. Actually my wife & kids love your stuff... I have made at least 8-10 of your recipes, all more than 4+ times. This is the first one I actually tweaked a bit. Only because we had a rotisserie chicken and it was easier to shred it up, (I agree with Tara there).. So i just omitted the salt, & better than bullion. This is the first time I used sugar and can't believe how much flavor it adds. Thank you again to you and your family for another keeper recipe!
I love chicken salad that looks amazing! I used always used poached chicken. It's so versatile too, I just made chicken & cheese Quesadillas and poached the chicken for that also.
I made this but added a splash of Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar (white sugar was finished) and some celery salt. Also swapped out onion with red scallions.The colour changed slightly but it's so good, thank you so much for this. ❤
I’ve never thought about poaching chicken…I really like that. I could use that technique for other recipes as well. Awesome recipe and it seems relatively easy, being able to prepare it the night before. Thanks.
Hello, are used to always roast my chicken and then put them in the curry and they always shredded and didn’t look in nice big pieces but now I poach my chicken and put it in at the last minute when the onions and the peppers and the curry, I’ve all melted together Also my cat prefers her chicken poached as it is moister , if you are cooking it to put on sandwiches with stuffing it is good to poach it in salted water or a vegetable stock or a chicken stock for added taste
I I’m not a fan of poached chicken, so I cook the chicken in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot but add seasonings while it cooks. Then you have a nice chicken stock you can use for something else.
I made this recipe as written and it was an absolute success! I used Blue Plate mayonnaise and I doubt it changed the taste. I usually have to doctor recipes with spices, but I didn't need to this time! I will be making this chicken salad again!
I use dried cranberries and dehydrated onions (NOT rehydrated) to help absorb the extra juice that comes after sitting in the fridge. My family won't eat any salad if it is 'weepy'. I also cut the mayo in half and replace it with an equal amount of whipped cream cheese to help keep the chicken salad more dry. If I use sweet relish, I try to get it as dry as I can before adding to my chicken salad. Hope this helps for any other chicken salad makers out there who struggle with weepy chicken salad.
I just want to say that I made this last night, and it is hands down the best chicken salad I have ever made (I just made a sandwich for lunch). I added a little tarragon to mine because I like that as well as some sweet pickle relish instead of increasing the sugar. I could also see it being good with some fresh dill. Excellent recipe!
I grew up in north Jersey, and nothing - NOTHING - beats a fresh "hard roll". Taylor Ham and egg; burgers; or just buttered with your morning coffee. Gawd I miss them!
To prevent so much liquid, put the mayo after the meat cools. After. Like mix all the stuff, sans mayo and put it in the fridge. Next day put in the mayo and mix. Hot mayo separates into oil and water.
I’ve been trying chicken salad recipes for a while now, looking for a go-to. I just found it. I followed the recipe exactly, and this was the best chicken salad I’ve ever made. Thanks for sharing. Delicious!
I’ve been searching and trying different chicken salad recipes. I saw your recipe and gave it a try. I just found my go to recipe. OMG this was so incredibly good. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This was awesome to watch. I do agree it would be great in a wrap 🌯 it is what people are doing more nowadays to stay away from the bread and the carbs but this was a great video can't wait to try the recipe. 👍🏽
I absolutely love your videos. I'm from Connecticut, and love Hellmann's. I was down south once and bought a quart of their beloved Duke's. In my humble opinion, they can keep it. Not as thick or as tasty as Hellmann's.
I think they use yellow dye in it ! And besides, I think the only reason they use it is to piss off The Yankee's ! I'm sure stewed opossums tastes good as well, "To Them" !
I taste tested them side by side tonight. Hellmans won, but I can understand why some people prefer the added "tang" from Dukes. Also Hellmans is a bit creamier.
I watched this video yesterday and defrosted a boneless chicken breast overnight. I just put the breast in a big chief electric smoker as an experiment. This is the first time plugging in the smoker..it's brand new. I think I'll smoke for a couple of hours and then finish off the chicken by gently roasting or steaming to get it up to temp. I love NY deli salad sandwiches. I used to get a damned good shrimp salad sandwich on a fresh kaiser roll almost every other day back in the 80s. In the PNW now...not a kaiser roll in sight.... Anywhere. Id love to be able to make them. Ive tried a few recipes but haven't nailed it. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Love all your recipes!
I used to manage a tea room - I did all the cooking as well - and I didn't make chicken salad for a decade after I left that job 😄 I like a squeeze of lemon.
I used to be an assistant manager for KFC and it took me about 3-5 years before I ate at one, just the smell…. I have good memories of it, great family to work for but just happy to be doing something different.
I don't know if they're still around but years ago Sally Sherman sold most deli's their mac & pot salad and I hated it lol. I grew up in NY and there was a German deli in my town that I'm still trying to find a duplicate of their potato salad, it was fantastic. I make my own salads now but will say that Shop Rite makes their own chicken salad using the rotisserie chickens that didn't sell for the day, it's the best I've ever had. Great vid!
💝Live on the West coast and really have no knowledge of East coast cooking, so you are my guide. Thank you so much for the recipe and explanation of why the chicken salad is made the way it is. Look so good and I expect I will love it when made. Thanks again! ❇❇❇
This was great. I could never make great chicken salad and this video really shows me why. Unfortunately, I am vegan now but I cook for my elderly mother. I am definitely going to make this for her. Thanks!
I made this recipe this weekend and it was fantastic!! Not to mention it makes a ton and gives you great leftovers for weekday lunches. :) Huge hit at this household and we've never had NY Deli style chicken salad before!
As always, love your videos. I'm happy your looking into a video on making the hard roll/kaiser rolls that the Long Island delis have? I remember going to my aunts house and they would bring the rolls home and I would destroy the rolls.
Love your videos. I really enjoyed these deli salad videos. I like the idea of poaching the chicken with some bouillon. I bake mine, cut it up and put it in the fridge for at least an hour before I add the other ingredients. I use a bit of vegetable oil when I bake it and it doesn't seem to dry out. I've never added sugar but I use a honey dijon mustard. I'm actually making some today, so I may add a little bit of sugar to see how that does. I hate adding sugar but I like to try to improve my chicken salad, so we'll give it a try. But I do make sure to use Helen's, I mean Hellman's mayo cause quality matters!
Love chicken salad! Sometimes I put a little curry powder in, or Dill, or dried cherries and almonds. The liquid rehydrates the cherries for a pop of sweetness.
Now i will use the breast chicken without skin for chicken salad ( i was wondering how to use my leftover chicken until i saw this video). Yay! It looks so good!❤
Always a Delight. I always recommend your channel as one of if not, the Best Italian Recipe Channel on my various Social media accounts. I am now stoked to try the Soy Sauce along with Panko for breading in ny Tuna Salad. I like it bith ways as its a tie between Melt and regular. And I've been known to broil the Cheese over the Tomato and switch between Baby Garlic Dills finely chopped and Sweet Pickle Relish depending on my mood. Thanks for the Deli Style refinement.
Update: I did make it and I followed all of the instructions very carefully. For me, there was still an intensity from the onions, though it's a little less aggressive the third day (since I let it sit in the fridge for one day). Maybe i should have used more of the spices on the chicken after it came out of the poaching liquid. I've added salt but something still seems to be missing. But the recipe did inspire me to make it, and that's great.
Your NY Deli Chicken salad was right on point! We tried it your way and it came out wonderful. Just like we both remember. We tweaked the potato salad to our likening. Thank you, keep up the great recipes. We have tried your Peposo and other pasta dushes. This time I remembered to take a pic.
this is so similar to the recipe I use for chicken salad. one thing different is a 3 to 1 ratio of mayo (of course Hellman's!) to sour cream. will try adding sugar next time I make it. as always, thanks for posting.
I squeeze fresh lemon juice on the chicken. It’s important to let the seasoning soak into the chicken. I love the draining idea, especially after sitting for a day. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!

I add a squeeze of lemon to my salad. Makes it even better!
Ooh. I like your style James' recipes are great, but that's a very good add. Just a squeeze, for a background note.

Many years ago I was in the city having lunch with my sister and we ordered the chicken salad...it had dried cranberries in it, and it was amazing! From that day on, if I don't have the dried cranberries, I don't make chicken salad🤷♀
Try making it with curry powder and a little touch of chopped grapes. Amazing.
And walnuts. There's one in my local Costco that used to be pretty good and it had dried cranberries and walnuts.
I added diced garlic kosher dill pickle.
Dill finely chopped. Add scallions instead of onion.
A hint of paprika and nutmeg
Old family recipe. ❤
Interesting. I may have to try it one of these days. Thanks for sharing your family recipe!
I do like to add paprika too.
Is the pickle's religion really that important?
Nutmeg? 😮 noooo😊
Nice ideas! James is making authentic NYC Deli style, though. I think the only thing that would stay in that boundary is the paprika.
My heart melted when he immediately started mashing the chicken when wifey said she prefers it that way. He didn't even think twice or question it. ❤
My heart sank….
wifey?
It was cute
With such conviction..I hope he got a gold star for his efforts lol
A bit overly emotional response but I'm glad you find it relatable

Those type salads are always better the next day. Let the flavors mingle and marry. 😋
My favorite deli in Little Rock adds fresh tarragon to the salad and no celery. Fabulous!!
Also try adding golden raisins with tarragon 😊
Everything this guy makes is a 10 in my book! Can't wait to try this.
This can also be made with post-Thanksgiving leftover roast turkey! I use a bit of poultry seasoning and in addition to the chopped onion and celery, throw in some slivered almonds or other chopped nuts, some dried cranberries, and even a scoop of leftover stuffing mixed in fine for extra flavor/texture.

James eats like every meal will be his last. Such gusto! I love it.
I moved out NY 2 decades ago and STILL miss the deli's...and the chicken salad! TY!
Same here…2003. It amazes me what passes as ‘food’ here in Pa. 😂 the only thing i miss about new york is the food.
I smoke my chicken then used it to make a nice smoky chicken salad sandwich. It’s adds that extra layer of flavor and is so good!
FWIW - A drop or two of Liquid Smoke will do the same with less effort.
something I do with 'loose' sandwiches like these: pinch out a little of the bread in the top bun, create a cavity the filling can sit in. Helps keep it from squeezing out the sides when you bite. (bbq pulled meat sandwiches, maid-rites, etc...)
Thats what the better sub shops do as well, we call it "gutting" the roll.
Less carbs that way, too!! 😁

We were taught to add halved green grapes & chopped pecans in the South 😋😀
I guess you would call that a "South Deli Chicken Sandwich"
You literally just showed up in my feed and I loved this video! You had me at the title, then the accent, then your wife chilling in the background and chiming in, then your son being the ultimate decider. It felt very organic and homey. I also appreciated the details and step by step.

My go to is chicken salad on croissants just the best!
Me too!! 😋
My least favorite sandwich bread ! 🤷🏽♀️
@james, absolutely!
I add a small amount of chopped apple, walnuts and a few cranberries. The texture of that on the croissants is outstanding !
@@fposmithYum. That way you can skip the sugar.
Love to see a NY deli egg salad recipe as well.
He made a video of that. Hope you caught it.
You are totally right about the sugar. I've been adding sweet pickle relish to my mayo salads for years and the added sugar really makes them pop.
James could barely stop eating to give a rating. Says a lot - love it!!
I love how we are able to watch James grow ❤
This might be blasphemy for purists, but in the summer when my garden tomatoes are ripe, I add a nice slab of tomato for extra deliciousness.
Nice!
Nothing wrong with that 😊
Or an apple or walnuts ... kind of a waldorf chicken salad
If you are using those Beefsteaks like from Jersey, I'm in !
Absolutely!! 🍅
Your deli styles recipes are unbeateable. This content is second to none
Great tips on making a good deli chicken salad. I thank you for taking the time to show us how it’s done in New York!

As a native New Yorker I don't ever put sugar or onion but I do add toasted walnuts and dried cranberries with a pinch of cumin. It's so delicious!
mmm dang
One of my favorite ways too!
I occasionally put in cranberries and walnuts.
Your chicken salad looks amazing. Instead of sugar, we use cut up grapes.
I love that version AND with walnuts!
Or apples
I love chicken salad that looks amazing! I used always used poached chicken. It's so versatile too, I just made chicken & cheese Quesadillas and poached the chicken for that also.
Love your deli series. Miss the NY deli everything. Enjoyed them when i lived there. Thise and bagels!
I made this but added a splash of Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar (white sugar was finished) and some celery salt. Also swapped out onion with red scallions.The colour changed slightly but it's so good, thank you so much for this. ❤
I love the gentle “bickering” whenever his son doesn’t give a ten. You can tell it’s real life, I like that it’s not all polished for the camera.
I’ve never thought about poaching chicken…I really like that. I could use that technique for other recipes as well. Awesome recipe and it seems relatively easy, being able to prepare it the night before. Thanks.
I’ve never thought about it either, I live at high altitude so I’m going to have to figure out how many minutes to add but totally going to do it!
Decades ago I learned to poach chicken for sick pets. You can poach chicken in the microwave. So easy and tender.
Yes ! Poaching it keeps the chicken from becoming tough !
Hello, are used to always roast my chicken and then put them in the curry and they always shredded and didn’t look in nice big pieces but now I poach my chicken and put it in at the last minute when the onions and the peppers and the curry, I’ve all melted together Also my cat prefers her chicken poached as it is moister , if you are cooking it to put on sandwiches with stuffing it is good to poach it in salted water or a vegetable stock or a chicken stock for added taste

This looks really good! I use sliced sourdough and peperoncini’s on the side.

If I use sweet relish, I try to get it as dry as I can before adding to my chicken salad. Hope this helps for any other chicken salad makers out there who struggle with weepy chicken salad.
I love getting James’ opinion - totally adds to the whole process!
Given how much I love the deli coleslaw and will never make it any other way again... I'm looking forward to making this one!
The strainer trick is very useful.
Chicken salad recently became a fav and I fell in love with this one already… a million times thank you!
This plus black sliced olives and Balti seasoning from Penzeys. My fav.
I just want to say that I made this last night, and it is hands down the best chicken salad I have ever made (I just made a sandwich for lunch). I added a little tarragon to mine because I like that as well as some sweet pickle relish instead of increasing the sugar. I could also see it being good with some fresh dill. Excellent recipe!
I grew up in north Jersey, and nothing - NOTHING - beats a fresh "hard roll". Taylor Ham and egg; burgers; or just buttered with your morning coffee. Gawd I miss them!
I live in North Carolina and finding hard bread is exceedingly difficult
Love it. Ever try sweet relish as a sub for sugar. Swiss cheese and tomato. "Makes a Nice Sandwich"
If it wasn’t for James, I would question every dish!!! What a great kid. Love your channel.
I made this today exactly as the recipe stated. Came out great!
I used to go to a deli place where they served something similar but with pieces of peach and parsley . Sounds weird but it’s really good!!!
To prevent so much liquid, put the mayo after the meat cools. After. Like mix all the stuff, sans mayo and put it in the fridge. Next day put in the mayo and mix. Hot mayo separates into oil and water.
This is why I always make mine with leftover chicken
I made this exactly as you did, and it was honestly delicious! I really enjoy your video content!
Thank you for sharing the New York version on chicken salad 😊
I often take half the chicken and put it in a food processor then dice the other half. The combination makes a great texture for chicken salad.
Flavors are vibrant. Excellent recipie.

A trick to try for the diced onions:
Squeeze out most of the moisture into a paper towel, and rehydrate with few drops vinegar of choice.
I absolutely love your videos. I'm from Connecticut, and love Hellmann's. I was down south once and bought a quart of their beloved Duke's. In my humble opinion, they can keep it. Not as thick or as tasty as Hellmann's.

Love finding this channel. Just hard to find all these ingredients and expensive in SE Asia.
I love that you left the bloopers in the video, ie. hellmans mayo.
we need an onion roll recipe too!
Appreciate your channel, excellent recipes and cooking techniques. The sugar tip is gold!

I made this, and it was fantastic! My son and I loved it.

I just made this and holy cow it is great. So simple, really, and I don't know if I will ever buy pre-made chicken salad again. Thanks!
Cool rolls. Big, flexible, firm/not flimsy, soft, not dry. God that sandwich looks excellent.
My favorite sandwich salad! Thank you 🙏
I even add seedless grapes occasionally to give it a nice taste
This was great. I could never make great chicken salad and this video really shows me why. Unfortunately, I am vegan now but I cook for my elderly mother. I am definitely going to make this for her. Thanks!
Good also with dried cranberries, red onions on dark rye bread.
Tinned chicken didn’t know that was a thing , my granddaughter loved this this , love from Scotland 🏴
Same here. As soon as he said tinned chicken, I thought oh ok 🙁! Not ever seen it here either 🇬🇧.
I made this recipe this weekend and it was fantastic!! Not to mention it makes a ton and gives you great leftovers for weekday lunches. :) Huge hit at this household and we've never had NY Deli style chicken salad before!
I just used your recipe for chicken salad for 60 people and it turned out great! Thank you!
As always, love your videos. I'm happy your looking into a video on making the hard roll/kaiser rolls that the Long Island delis have? I remember going to my aunts house and they would bring the rolls home and I would destroy the rolls.
I like to use Miracle Whip in mine. This looks good.
Love your videos. I really enjoyed these deli salad videos.
I like the idea of poaching the chicken with some bouillon. I bake mine, cut it up and put it in the fridge for at least an hour before I add the other ingredients. I use a bit of vegetable oil when I bake it and it doesn't seem to dry out. I've never added sugar but I use a honey dijon mustard. I'm actually making some today, so I may add a little bit of sugar to see how that does. I hate adding sugar but I like to try to improve my chicken salad, so we'll give it a try.
But I do make sure to use Helen's, I mean Hellman's mayo cause quality matters!
Love chicken salad! Sometimes I put a little curry powder in, or Dill, or dried cherries and almonds. The liquid rehydrates the cherries for a pop of sweetness.
Nice recipe I’ll keep that along with the egg salad in my book for later use,I’ll have to check out your tuna salad recipe…thanks again 👍
Now i will use the breast chicken without skin for chicken salad ( i was wondering how to use my leftover chicken until i saw this video). Yay! It looks so good!❤
Always a Delight. I always recommend your channel as one of if not, the Best Italian Recipe Channel on my various Social media accounts. I am now stoked to try the Soy Sauce along with Panko for breading in ny Tuna Salad. I like it bith ways as its a tie between Melt and regular. And I've been known to broil the Cheese over the Tomato and switch between Baby Garlic Dills finely chopped and Sweet Pickle Relish depending on my mood. Thanks for the Deli Style refinement.
Update: I did make it and I followed all of the instructions very carefully. For me, there was still an intensity from the onions, though it's a little less aggressive the third day (since I let it sit in the fridge for one day). Maybe i should have used more of the spices on the chicken after it came out of the poaching liquid. I've added salt but something still seems to be missing. But the recipe did inspire me to make it, and that's great.
Your NY Deli Chicken salad was right on point! We tried it your way and it came out wonderful. Just like we both remember. We tweaked the potato salad to our likening. Thank you, keep up the great recipes. We have tried your Peposo and other pasta dushes. This time I remembered to take a pic.
Agree about putting it in a wrap. Actually I like using Swanson canned chicken breast.
James, new follower, made 3 of your recipes for my daughters birthday, they loved it.🎉
this is so similar to the recipe I use for chicken salad. one thing different is a 3 to 1 ratio of mayo (of course Hellman's!) to sour cream. will try adding sugar next time I make it. as always, thanks for posting.
I squeeze fresh lemon juice on the chicken. It’s important to let the seasoning soak into the chicken. I love the draining idea, especially after sitting for a day. Thanks.
just made so good. boiling in the chicken stalk ... genius
I did the potato salad and the coleslaw yesterday with great success. I’ll definitely try the chicken salad very soon. Thanks for the awesome recipes.
