Ingredients

4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on

Good olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup good mayonnaise

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves

1 cup small-diced celery (2 stalks)

1 cup green grapes, cut in 1/2

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside until cool.
  3. When the chicken is cool, remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin and bones. Cut the chicken into a 3/4-inch dice. Place the chicken in a bowl; add the mayonnaise, tarragon leaves, celery, grapes, 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well.

The best chicken salad starts with tearing the chicken into pieces with your hands or using an immersion blender to do the tearing. Using a knife is what they do in diners. That torn consistency is what makes a great chicken salad. I use celery and scallion and add Dijon mustard, a teaspoon of vinegar and sweet pickle relish. Grapes are for dessert.
