Cooking Instructions

  3. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to rest, still covered, for 5 minutes. 
  4. Remove the chicken from the stock and slice off the bone very thinly. Reserve the stock. 
  5. Mix the potatoes with the white wine vinegar. Add ¼ cup strained stock and season to taste. 
  6. Add the pickled cucumbers, celery, capers, onion and the chicken. Gently mix in the mayonnaise and lemon juice and check the seasoning.
