Chef's Notes
Treat your mayonnaise and lemon juice like liquid gold; whisk them until they form a velvety emulsion before introducing the solid ingredients.
Pro Tip
Mince your red onion extra fine and soak it in cold water for five minutes before draining to remove any harsh bite that might overpower the poultry.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You dump a mountain of wet, warm chicken straight into a bowl of mayo, turning your salad into a pathetic, watery soup that even the royal hounds would reject.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the chicken salad go to therapy? Because it was tired of being tossed around emotionally by indecisive diners.
The Culinary Science
Chilling the salad in the refrigerator allows the proteins in the poultry to reabsorb some of the moisture from the dressing, locking in maximum flavor.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
