Kentucky Chicken Salad

"This is simple old fashioned chicken salad with a touch of curry. If you don't like the flavor of curry feel free to omit it. The salad will still be excellent. Be sure to use chicken on the bone. Boneless skinless chicken breasts just don't have the right texture. Besides, you can save some money purchasing chicken on the bone. To serve this the Kentucky way press the salad into a large ring mold sprayed with cooking spray. Unmold on a large platter and fill the center with red grapes or the fruit of your choice."
