Tips
- You can shred the chicken or leave some in chunks based on preference.
- Seasonings will dry out the mixture, so add more mayonnaise as needed.
- Taste as you go; you can always add salt but cannot take it away.
- Allow the chicken salad to get cold and marinate for flavors to combine overnight.
