I spent a few years when I was young working in delis. This is a classic that can be found in almost every single New York deli. Some places make it a bit different but this will get you pretty close. Make sure to refrigerate overnight before eating. That is the most important thing with this or any deli salad.

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!✝️🙏💗🕊🎺🇺🇸

A bit overly emotional response but I'm glad you find it relatable

[@PunkPunkMerc]

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.

[@pampilgrim2274]

I do the same.

[@williamdonahue6617]

I press them in a clean kitchen towel until there is very little moisture left.

[@jeanniebrooks]

@@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.

[@TomisaburoRMizugawa]

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 : )

I added diced garlic kosher dill pickle. Dill finely chopped. Add scallions instead of onion. A hint of paprika and nutmeg Old family recipe. ❤

[@SolWaid1965]

Interesting. I may have to try it one of these days. Thanks for sharing your family recipe!

[@MFiction60]

I do like to add paprika too.

[@damienthorn1340]

Is the pickle's religion really that important?

[@Chaser2]

Nutmeg? 😮 noooo😊

[@a2ndopynyn]

Nice ideas! James is making authentic NYC Deli style, though. I think the only thing that would stay in that boundary is the paprika.

[@phyllisann6962]

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🤷‍♀

[@davestier6247]

Try making it with curry powder and a little touch of chopped grapes. Amazing.

[@UndertheNeedle282]

And walnuts. There's one in my local Costco that used to be pretty good and it had dried cranberries and walnuts.

[@lizmiller9813]

After making your chicken salad my husband said he was not sure how much he was going to eat. He would start with his own plate and move on to my plate if I didn't eat it fast enough. My mother had to guard her own plate like a wolf! 😅 This could be dangerous deli chicken salad. Thank you!

[@tiffanys9493]

I add a squeeze of lemon to my salad. Makes it even better!

[@a2ndopynyn]

Ooh. I like your style James' recipes are great, but that's a very good add. Just a squeeze, for a background note.

[@conradkappel9426]

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! .

[@Victoria.Foxworthy]

Those type salads are always better the next day. Let the flavors mingle and marry. 😋

[@janblake2230]

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!!

[@Cornelius798]

Everything this guy makes is a 10 in my book! Can't wait to try this.

[@ElizabethDeVore-bk8mh]

My favorite deli in Little Rock adds fresh tarragon to the salad and no celery. Fabulous!!

[@karendougherty1050]

Also try adding golden raisins with tarragon 😊

[@jeanettefujikawa]

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.

[@OldSchoolSk8ermatt]

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.

Grapes in chicken salad is wonderful.😊😊

[@phyllisreinking4208]

James could barely stop eating to give a rating. Says a lot - love it!!

[@PeteCorp]

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.

[@joncarroll2040]

This is why I always make mine with leftover chicken

[@marleiseturner4689]

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!

[@kenmarelove9176]

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!

[@TravelingSag]

Yes. Sally Sherman is still what most LI deli’s use for their macaroni and potato salads and cole slaw!

[@bornfree0507]

Rotisserie chicken makes it taste so good!!

[@ericjenjohnson]

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!

[@donkemp8151]

FWIW - A drop or two of Liquid Smoke will do the same with less effort.

[@mariaanderson4621]

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.👍😊

[@campbellmer]

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.

[@amazinglifecreation]

You are a great chef let me tell You the way You explain the recipe makes it sound so easy

[@jackoshea7668]

Well brought-up young man.Very mannerly , rare these days 🎉

[@delightschwartz2155]

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!

[@27kjh]

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.

[@Lwah0812]

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!

[@miseentrope]

Decades ago I learned to poach chicken for sick pets. You can poach chicken in the microwave. So easy and tender.

[@fposmith]

Yes ! Poaching it keeps the chicken from becoming tough !

[@christinebeames712]

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

[@NancyH25]

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.

[@scpatl4now]

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!

[@SeaTurtle515]

Your chicken salad looks amazing. Instead of sugar, we use cut up grapes.

[@sandraelder1101]

I love that version AND with walnuts!

[@roses6564]

So does Whole Foods in their Sonoma Chicken Salad which is really good.

[@ecmo2007]

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!

[@gregorymelia6564]

Love it. Ever try sweet relish as a sub for sugar. Swiss cheese and tomato. "Makes a Nice Sandwich"

[@iowapipe]

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...)

[@cyborgnj]

Thats what the better sub shops do as well, we call it "gutting" the roll.

[@kenbtheman]

About 30 years ago I had a friend who worked in a Brooklyn deli. He told me a deli trick, said they all do it. they would take the old white bread and trim the crust off, cube it and ad it to the tuna and chicken salad to bulk it up. He said you couldn't tell the difference. I tried it one day at home and it was pretty much true. One can of tuna salad with 2 or 3 slices of white bread mixed in made quite a large salad. I wonder if they still do it.

[@MiMiOnTheGoGo]

That actually sounds genius, as it would also absorb any liquid that forms overnight. It’s not terrible to just drain it off the next day, but you’re probably loosing some flavor since it’s from the yummy moist chicken. Thanks for the tip.

[@brianshaw373]

It’s true, so long as too much bread isn’t used.

[@susanb5058]

@@MiMiOnTheGoGoyes it does absorb the excess liquid, I’ve made it that way too.

[@williamfotiou7577]

YES! We all do that. The real reason is not just to bulk it up, it is also about the texture of the salad. Many people frown upon it, I’m sure that’s why he didn’t mention it, but there is actually a culinary reason for it. Nice to know someone knows that . 😊

Subscribing. Your videos are great! To the point. No fluff. Great for those who already know how to cook to some extent. Great work!

[@DancingWatersAnCoFOB]

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.

[@deniseatthelake]

I add grey poupon country dijon grainy mustard, yum!

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" !

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!

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!
