Tips

  • Ensure the chicken is well-shredded to allow flavors to penetrate every bite.
  • Make sure to use dill pickles, not sweet pickles.
  • Dice all vegetables, apple, and dates up real fine.
  • The dates provide a caramel sweet texture that is very good and the combination of sweet and savory is incredible.
