chicken dance


chicken salad. homemade & delicious. after a recent bout of copiously consuming large quantities of fried food, i figured i better eat something not fried. chicken salad came to mind. to speed up this process, i purchased a rotisserie chicken, and used 1/2 of it. yes, i put dark meat in my chicken salad. i say “my” chicken salad like i have a standard recipe. i don’t. the secret ingredient in this chicken salad is a hard-boiled egg. that’s right, bitches. i had heard of a grandma doing this to stretch the chicken salad...i don’t know how much 1 egg can stretch something, but i had a hard-boiled egg on-hand so, i put it through the egg slicer, twice, and threw it in. here’s what you’ll need:

1 hard-boiled egg
½ rotisserie chicken
1-2 ribs of celery, finely diced
handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
mayo - enough to get it loose, you can add but can’t take away.
cayenne, a big pinch
garlic powder, a sprinkling
salt & pepper

peel the hard-boiled egg. put in an egg slicer and slice, turn sliced egg 180˚ and slice again. this will give you a dice cut. throw egg into a large mixing bowl. on a cutting board, dice the celery finely and throw into bowl. do the same with the parsley. remove chicken from the bone, gather chicken (sans skin) on the cutting board and dice into small fine cubes. add to bowl. add cayenne, garlic powder, salt & pepper. add mayo in small batches and stir briskly. the chicken salad will look like it was shredded when you stir with muscle. day 1; was a sandwich, day 2; the chicken salad topped a salad. the salad way was über delicious. make your lunch. you can do it.
