Chicken salad with cornichons and radishes

Chicken second courses

This my favorite, favorite chicken salad. I love the crunch of the cornichons and radishes and how the mayonnaise smooths out their flavors a bit. {That being said, I'm kind of a pickle/cornichon/gerkhin fanatic. I could eat those suckers on their own all day long.} Buying a roasted chicken just makes the recipe easier for me, and I like being able to have both white and dark meat in the chicken salad. {It also gives me an excuse to make chicken stock.} Of course, you can use whatever method you like to cook the chicken and whatever parts of the chicken you prefer. Again, just makes life a little easier.
