For the Chicken Salad:
  • 1 rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 medium red onion
  • 1/4 medium white onion

  • 1/2 cup Giardonnaise®
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
For Assembling:
  • Fresh local sandwich bread (your sandwich is only as good as your bread)
  • Cucumber (if you don’t want to eat it, just buy it and put in on your eyeballs)

  • Avocado (we know they’re expensive these days, but so is everything else)
  • Kettle cooked potato chips (superior chip)

Instructions:

Chop & Mix:
  1. Thoroughly wash your leeks (they’re sandy and nobody likes sand in their sandwich… or do we?)
  2. Chop or pound garlic clove with anchovies. Put in bowl. Squeeze in lemon to macerate ingredients. Combine with fish sauce. Set aside,
  3. Rinse capers and set aside.
  4. Chop chicken

  9. Add salt, pepper, lemon to taste
Assemble the Sandwich:
  1. Spread Giardonnaise® on one side of each slice of bread.
