Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Oil the chicken and season with salt. Brown in a pan, skin-side down, over a moderately high heat. 
  2. Turn, then pour over the stock. Cover, reduce the heat to its lowest and cook for 10 minutes. 
  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. 
  7. Turn the lettuce on to a platter. Spoon over the chicken-and-potato salad. 
  8. Sprinkle with egg, radishes and dill.
