    Your recipes continue to f***ing nail it. I used leftover grocery store rotisserie chicken and it turned out amazing. Baby-faced Bri from the past came through!

  3. Don Burcin

    There are very significant discrepancies between your metric and US measurements for the potato buns. e.g. 3 3/4 AP flour is 480g (according to the internet and my Escali scale) and 4T butter is 56 g ( according to the internet and my Escali). Because of these differences it might be a good idea for you to correct these discrepancies rather than confuse your readers, like I was.

    Oldie but a goodie B Man. From my 4 year old that speaks your language:

    This bun is SICK!! 😮🎉❤

    just made this salad from the breast meat of the leftover slow roast chicken i made… i used store bought rolls and mayo. I can attest that this is the best damn chicken salad I ate and my husband said the same thing

    I'm a big fan of chicken salad, but you're right, it's often blah! I'lll try your recipe next time. I like mine with walnuts and dried cranberries too, so I'll do that too! Oh BTW, how does anyone with a kitchen as neat as your lose a pastry brush???

    Watching this for the first time, I must say: You have come a loooooong way, Brian. Good recipe, but wow, you've really upped you video editing game since the old days.

    So I do poach breasts as the base, but I poach it in water with Caldo con Sabor de Pollo that has had 1 jalapeño and the whites of the celery stalks before poaching the chicken in it.

    The need of surgery from mixing
    Potato and chicken salad is insane
    Slow down chicko

    I'm glad I found your channel. You always have really good food ideas and after you break them down…are simple to make. Keep up the great work!

    The company went under during COVID, but Pilgrim's Pride made the best Southern style chicken salad ever. It had the acidity needed and wasn't just mayo. It had pickle relish, celery, and mayo (along with other stuff) and it just worked. It was the perfect balance. I haven't came close to finding anything store bought as good as it. I'd KILL to find a recipe online and make it myself. They used to sell it at Kroger's. It was expensive, like $8 a pint, but so worth it.

    surprised that you didn't add any pecans, almonds or walnuts … omitted to save on cost and simplicity? or do you rly not prefer the flavor w nuts

  22. Flying Chef

    The thing about making everything from scratch for hours is that I am going to chow down the sandwich in under 2 minutes.

    I get a Costco chicken, pick all the meat off, make this recipe, freeze the bones, then a few batches later make chicken stock from the bones. Nothing wasted, everything tasty. I use low carb tortillas and make chicken salad wraps so it keeps my blood sugar in check.

  26. GI Jimbo

    I think there’s a problem with the cups/grams conversion for the water. 1 cup of water weighs 240g, so there’s no way 1.5 weighs just 210.

    I very rarely eat meat but this video is making me crave chicken salad! this looks absolutely delicious, I will definitely try it out in the near future, now that the weather is finally getting warmer. The buns look so good too!

    Sweet pickles don't belong in a chicken salad sandwich, you are making tartar sauce. The simplest chicken salad sandwich is superior to these gross tartar sauce chicken sandwiches. Onion. celery, fresh dill, and a normal amount of mayo, salt and pepper. Not like this tartar sauce chicken sandwich.

    You can tell in all of your content that you genuinely enjoy cooking and making videos about it. Always great stuff man – both the food and the vids

    A sandwich never seemed so simple! I can't wait to try this recipe on Saturday when I will have four hours to prepare it. This SANDWICH is going to taste so good! Can't wait to put all this effort in for a tasty SANDWICH. Man, if I'm going to do a side, I may need Sunday, too. Dessert will have to wait until Monday night. Tuesday is going to be one great day! Thank you, chef!
