I am just into easy today.
0:08
Everybody likes chicken salad, don't they?
0:10
Some form of chicken salad.
0:14
Some are better than others, I think,
0:17
but if you like curry,
0:20
the recipe that I'm sharing
0:21
with y'all today has curry in it.
0:26
It's got mayonnaise, grapes,
0:33
a little lemon juice,
0:34
two teaspoons of curry powder,
0:37
and chopped almonds that you've toasted off.
0:44
So this is so, so easy.
0:47
Now, I'm using a roasted chicken from the grocery store.
0:53
All you have to do is just pick it.
0:57
because you get your dark and your white meat all together.
1:05
the dark meat is what makes chicken salad so, so good.
1:10
- [Eddie] Now, you've always said the best chicken salad
1:13
is often made from leftover fried chicken.
1:16
- Leftover fried chicken, honey.
1:18
I have made many a big ole bowl of chicken salad
1:23
from leftover fried chicken.
1:25
- [Eddie] It's hard to get
1:25
leftover fried chicken though,
1:27
isn't it? (chuckles) - It is. (chuckles)
1:28
We don't usually have any left over.
1:30
But yeah, you have to take the skin off of it,
1:34
and naturally pull it off the bone,
1:36
but from it being fried...
1:41
Thank you for reminding me, Eddie, about that.
1:47
the flavor is in there all the way to the bone.
1:52
All right, so let's...
1:54
Let me give you the correct measurements.
1:57
So it's a cup of mayonnaise,
1:58
and just one stalk of celery, finely chopped,
2:05
two teaspoons of curry powder,
2:10
the juice from a half of a lemon,
2:17
about a fourth of a cup of chopped red onion.
2:23
And I'm gonna add the nuts to this,
2:31
and then I'm just gon' mix this together
2:33
and pour it over our chicken.
2:39
And then I'll salt and pepper our chicken salad to taste.
2:45
I've gotten where I really, really do
2:50
like chicken salad with the grapes in it.
2:54
I don't know, it just gives it...
2:56
Not so much for a sandwich,
2:57
but if I'm just gonna have like a lettuce wrap,
3:00
a piece of romaine with some chicken salad on it,
3:05
I really do like it with the grapes in it.
3:12
Okay, so I'm gonna salt...
3:29
Here we go. (bowl clinks)
3:43
Get every bit of that stuff out.
3:46
So the recipe calls for a three-pound chicken,
3:50
and that's probably about the size of most of the roasters,
3:58
- [Woman] Yes, ma'am.
4:02
They're usually not too, too big,
4:04
and not usually too, too little.
4:10
(bowl clinks against counter) Okay.
4:11
So anyway, what I was...
4:13
What I was getting to was (bowl clinks against spatula)
4:19
If you need to add more mayonnaise
4:23
'cause your chicken's bigger,
4:25
or you just like a more wet chicken salad,
4:29
then just add a little bit more mayonnaise.
4:40
So that seems to be kinda perfect
4:42
for that amount of chicken,
4:46
but I have found that potato salad,
4:49
chicken salad, any of your cold salads,
4:57
you always have to go back and add more mayonnaise
5:01
the next day because it just absorbs it.
5:10
Oh, I haven't put the grapes in yet.
5:12
I was about to forget my favorite part.
5:30
Mm... And I like this on lettuce.
5:36
- [Woman] I brought some butter lettuce.
5:37
- Oh, you did? - [Woman] I did.
5:39
- Butter lettuce is the best, isn't it?
5:44
- You can buy little containers already washed
5:47
and ready to go of just butter lettuce,
5:50
sweet butter lettuce.
5:53
And... - [Woman] Just wrap them up.
5:55
- There's no waste, no waste.
6:00
Oh, this looks so good.
6:04
I know Michael likes chicken salad wraps
6:07
and tuna salad wraps- - Mm-hm. He loves-
6:10
- [Woman] The lettuce would not go...
6:13
I buy the whole things of romaine
6:15
that have already been washed,
6:17
and we just take it out and slather it with tuna fish or...
6:25
This is very, very good.
6:29
- I love the sweetness that the grapes do to this,
6:33
and also something else that's good,
6:35
if you like just biting into
6:37
that little surprise sweet taste,
6:40
raisins are so good in chicken salad.
6:50
The easiest recipe of the today, d-d-d-day.
6:57
Now have a beautiful day,
6:59
and I hope you like this recipe.
7:01
I love y'all, (water splashes)
7:02
and send you love and best dishes.
