Chef Scott Drewno: Chicken Curry Salad Recipe

Makes about 2 pounds of salad (8 servings)

Ingredients:
One 4-to-5-pound whole rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup coarsely chopped candied walnuts
1 cup diced green apple, such as Granny Smith (from 1 to 2 apples)
1 cup diced celery (from 2 to 3 ribs celery)
1/4 cup diced red onion (from about 1/4 onion)
3/4 cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellman’s brand
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
If the chicken is hot, allow it to cool slightly, then remove and discard the skin. Shred or cut the meat into bite-size pieces and transfer the meat to a large mixing bowl. (Keep the bones for making stock, if desired.) The yield is 5 to 6 cups of meat.

Add the raisins, walnuts, apples, celery and onion to the bowl and toss to combine.

Combine the mayonnaise, curry powder and brown sugar in a medium bowl; fold it into the chicken mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
