Steps:

• 1. Remove chicken from the bones - remove the skin as well (not great in this salad) 2. You will use about 1/2 of the chicken from a Costco rotisserie chicken. You want to chop it up finely - I used a food chopper, and it worked great. 3. Chop celery and sweet onion very finely - again, I used a food chopper. 4. In a separate bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, sugar, lemon juice, parsley, and vinegar. 5. Combine chicken, celery, and onion in a large bowl. 6. Fold in the dressing and combine together. 7. Refrigerate a few hours for best results!
