SMOKY HAWAIIAN CHICKEN SALAD
I was obsessed with this chicken salad when it was served at Long John Silvers in the late '80s. It was eventually removed from the menu and massive cravings led me to develop my own formula and reproduce it at home. The smokehouse almonds are the secret ingredient. I have tried it with both mayonnaise and Miracle Whip but the Miracle Whip is much more authentic. Sweet, smoky and super tasty!

Steps:
- Boil chicken breasts in a pot filled with water until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 40 minutes.
- While chicken finishes boiling, preheat an outdoor charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place approximately 10 coals off to one side and light; coals are ready when they have some white dust.
- Add hickory chips to a container or on aluminum foil on top of coals. Place chicken breasts onto the preheated grill as far away from the heat as possible.
- Smoke chicken just until a light smoke is apparent, no more than 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Dice each chicken breast; sprinkle with pepper and celery salt. Place diced celery and red onion in a large bowl; add chicken 3 breasts at a time, sprinkling with 1 pinch caraway seeds and mixing well after each addition. Stir in mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use ripe and juicy pineapple. Fresh pineapple is ideal, but canned pineapple can also be used if necessary.
- If you don't have any liquid smoke, you can add a teaspoon of smoked paprika instead. This will give the chicken salad a slightly smoky flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sour cream to your liking. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier option.
- For a more flavorful chicken salad, use rotisserie chicken instead of boiled chicken. Rotisserie chicken has a delicious smoky flavor that will enhance the overall taste of the salad.
- If you want to add some crunch to the salad, you can add some chopped celery or red onion.
- Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or in a lettuce wrap for a light and refreshing meal.
