Let the chicken cool a little, then remove the skin and cube the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Place the cubed chicken into a bowl while it's still a little warm.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise.

Chop 1.5 tablespoons of fresh tarragon leaves and add to the mayonnaise.

Chop 2 stalks of celery, about 1 cup, and add to the bowl.

Cut 1 cup of seedless green grapes in half and add to the mixture.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper to the bowl.

Toss all the ingredients together to combine.
