Chicken Salad doesn't require a bowl to craft but gives a bowl back when consumed. Since it only stacks to 16 I think it's intended to require a bowl, similar to the other FD salads, but currently doesn't.

Hi West8777,

Thank you for noticing this, I'll change the recipe to require a bowl.

Have a good day,
