Instructions
- Shred your smoked chicken (2–3 cups). Chop the pickles, fresh dill, and red onion.

Notes
Taste the brine first – some pickles are saltier or tangier than others. Start with 1 tbsp and add more as needed.
Let it chill (if you can) – 30 minutes in the fridge gives the flavors time to meld.
