"This recipe calls for smoked chicken, but if you don't have that you can use any kind of chicken and add some liquid smoke or smoked paprika... Or it works great as a base recipe to follow for regular chicken salad."

Wonderful! And so simple! I used rotisserie chicken and it is so good! Was going to make smoked chicken chili, but this is so great I'm saving it to make another batch of this stuff. It's a winner

Cumin enhances the smoke in the chicken. The amount is personal taste, otherwise leave it out. This is a basic down and dirty recipe for a delicious chicken salad. You won't find it in Bon Spirits, which is good. More for the rest of us.
