I wish it froze well

It forms a yellow oily liquid when it freezes, like as if the oil is separating from the rest of the product. I believe the liquid is chicken fat from the broth that they add in to the chicken salad mix.

If they use rotisserie chickens, the "broth" could be the drippings from the chickens in the rotisserie. The broth would lend to the smooth texture.
