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.

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 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!

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!!

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....

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.

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.

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.

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!

Chicken and tuna salad were “iffy” sandwiches to buy at the deli’s! My husband works all over Long Island and this is his go to! Looks great, like all your recipes can’t wait to make it! I’m nailing all of them

Great video! That said, the recipe as demonstrated was boiled, not poached, chicken. Poaching is done at a much lower temperature, not even a simmer, and often uses only a little bit of fluid. Too. It’s removed well before the internal temperature can reach 165 deg. We like to use dark chicken meat because it has a less bland flavor, add fresh herbs, and forgo the sugar.

💝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! ❇❇❇

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