There are six in the database that call for gelatin, but none of those call for sour cream.

I found this one on line, but I'm not sure the instructions are correct, so use your own judgement. What concerns me is the 1/2 cup of corn oil. The way the recipe is written, it looks like you add it into the rest of the ingredients. But that sounds like a lot of oil for a recipe that already contains Sour Cream and Mayonnaise? On the other hand it says to rub the salad molds with corn oil, so that the salad slips out easily when set. Perhaps the corn oil in the ingredient list was only for that purpose? But there again, 1/2 cup sounds like a lot just to grease the molds. Lastly most jelled chicken salad recipes call for quite a bit of chicken broth. This one does not contain any. Maybe the 1/2 cup should have been chicken broth, and the oil listed without any amount. My concern is there is only 2 tablespoons of water listed to dissolve the gelatin. Without additional liquid, what is getting Jelled? I never heard of Jelling oil, but I could be wrong.
