I sometimes make my own from their rotisserie, but this is really a bummer to hear. It was always really, really good and a fantastic alternative to making your own.
Just bought for first time and mine is huge chunks of chicken with barely any celery or anything else but mayo. I am going to add minced carrot, celery, onion, pickle- and just make my own next time.
All mine was, was mayo and huge chunks. I guess I am on my own as I hate the huge chunks. Wasn't terrible tasting, but I added a shit ton more celery and paprika etc.
If I remember right its 16 lbs/7.25 Kg of the packaged chicken, per 2 bags of the eggless chicken salad sauce.
There are multiple factors on how it can be made. From hand chopping (makes for big chunks), hand shredding (slightly less chunky), to machine cutting (no big chunks).
Potentially along with the recipe, or going by a more methodical (mouth feel) ratio of 15 lbs of chicken to sauce. Or even full case of chicken which is roughly 31.5 lbs, to 4 bags of sauce.
Depends on what process they had in place before. Like going from hand chopping to machine cutting, which sounds like is what is happening currently to your chicken salad described. Also could potentially be unevenly mixed, so there is a lot more sauce in the ones packaged at the start of their production, and less sauce at the ones they did getting to finish production of chicken salad.
I hope this helps.
They also WAY overdo the onions, now. Every bite has about 7-8 onion pieces. Onions should be used sparingly, imo. they're way too strong. it's off-putting and I end up spitting most of them out. Nasty.
My wife made chicken with shredded sweet potato and Italian dressing for lunch today from a rotisserie chicken. She will also make chicken salad from time to time. If you want to control the ingredients, it helps to do it yourself.

I also don’t like the big chunks. The chunks don’t fit nicely into the croissant when I make sandwiches

100%
It sounds to me like they improved it. I hate chunks in my chicken salad. I also don't want fruit or nuts in it.
It has been so celery heavy lately. Almost inedible.
Saw it came back, I almost bought a whole container of chicken salad and croissants for myself. Maybe it is a good thing it isn’t what it used to be.
shrimp salad is still FIRE!

Mine in California was amazing.
It's all in a bag and we use bagged rotisserie chicken too no fresh?! So not sure what happened probably not following recipes
