So I'm looking at different copycat recipes for the chick-fil-a sandwich and I see many that don't do it the way I think it should be done.  Which is not to say they're wrong, but a base model Chick fil a doesn't have sauce on it.  The deluxe probably does. 

The base model has the chicken on a butter grilled normal hamburger bun with a couple of dill pickle slices on the bottom bun.  The chicken is marinated in the brine (legit dill pickle juice) having been sliced into half- thickness.  Alternately Double dipped in the breading and egg/milk pressing the breading into the crannies and mashing it in.


This recipe looks right to me, but I'd skip the sauce.

So yeah, all the benefits of the sandwich without any of the right-wing guilt.

I've never had any of their food.

Forgot to mention I used skinless breast. The flour mix I mixed is exactly that one but I used granulated sugar and forgot the black pepper. meant to add that but spaced. And I forgot to double-dip. PLaned on that too but in the heat of battle...I've got powedered sugar for next time. Anywho, leftovers aplenty. And I did a couple, the soy sauce soaked, with crushed almonds. Those would go good wth brown gravy.

For fast food it's pretty high up there, but given their politics and the size of the line at the drive through, not hard to avoid.  

they recruit their employees through youth groups and religious camps.  Most everyone is young.  Something works in their method because everyone in there is willing to bend over backwards to make sure everything is right.   You know how when you go back to the counter for something and 10ft from the counter everyone turns around and goes to the kitchen or the drive through window or anywhere out of sight?   Or is it just me?  They don't do that at any I've been to. 

the breast is normally skinless, MM.  their fries are waffle.

Grilled cheese hotdogs. The kind on hotdog buns. Look into it.

I did jack and sharp cheddar with onions, diced pickles, kraut and grainy mustard.

I took pics but they don't do it justice so here's one from the www.

[Pissy]

Fuckin' score!

[RAGER]

Your kids will love it. He's got hotdog burnt ends too if you want to get whimsical.

[Muffin Man]

Gettin' right afer it!
Hotlink mozzarella on a brioche bun, powdered sugar, maple syrup dipping sauce dusted with allspice. mmmm

[RAGER]

Jesus!  That just might be a thing.

[RAGER]

Imma make my own wash your sister sauce. It's not difficult and I probably have everything already. Perusing recipes I'm astounded at how many don't have fucking fish sauce or anchovies or anything. Fukn vegan watered down bullshit. Fuck. Off. Call it something else then. Shit is derived from garum. China or Egypt probably invented it 3,000 years ago. I could look that up.

[Pissy]

Uhmmm... Worcestershire is anchovies.  Plain and simple.  Yeah, call it something else.

I wish had the buds for it. But indeed, indubitably, I nearly hurled when I saw RAGERS's post and said to myself no.way. would.l ever. eat.that (cheese dog. at least its not deep fried) But then I did after re-considering why be a stick in the mud. Though I wouldn't do the dusted one I did without the brioche bun...a plain bun would be gross. But basically it worked. But yeah one and done did the trick. try it!

Cause for celebration! Here's that sprinkle thing you called out. Was saving it for a special occaision. Lindt chocolate sauce.

[mortlock]

i can see that on a hotdog. add sprinkles and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

[Muffin Man]

riiiight. ps. my faux-monte-cristo was a >>hot link<< (hotlink). (I hope that gets me off the hook).

Portland lost a good one over the weekend. A fantastic chef and by all accounts a fine person. Naomi Pomeroy drown in the fucking Willamette River. Goddammit! 

Read about her life here.

[Pissy]

Looks like she wasn't wearing a life vest, while tubing down the river.  Sucks.  

[Muffin Man]

That's a very sad situation.

[Muffin Man]

Looks like she wasn't wearing a life vest, while tubing down the river.  Sucks. 

I took a look at videos of the Willamette River at Crystal Lake down to Michael's landing - their route. That is just not a nice river in terms of undercurrent. Niether is the Rogue River. Wiki page says she was born there, Corvallis.

Also another dude drowned last weekend somewhere nearby in a lake - no life vest. Was saving his kid and went under. The kid lived.
