In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, ground mustard, onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and a dash of pepper.

Step 3

Add the mayonnaise mixture to the chicken mixture; stir gently to combine. Gradually add more mayonnaise, if necessary, to reach the desired consistency.

Step 4

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to come together.
