I don't know if this is common knowledge. But it should be.
I have a near spiritual aversion to wasting meat. I feel like it's a kind of sin.
But I got some fried chicken at a new local grocery store that was so bad, I thought I was going to have to throw it away. The better part of two chickens worth! The dark meat was marginally edible but the white meat was beyond hope.
I was stressing over throwing it away, when the idea for chicken salad hit me. I chopped and ripped it just as fine as I could, then tossed it with chopped trinity, mayonnaise, garlic salt, and plenty of black pepper.
When I taste-tested it, the mouth feel of the dry chicken was just a little off. I always prefer to make chicken salad a day ahead anyway, so I was happy to find out that after sitting overnight, it was just perfect.
So if you ever have any awful dry chicken and can't stand throwing meat away, that's a heck of a solution.
