One of our favorite parts about the Super Bowl (Feb. 12, 2023) is how it can bring people together, united over one common goal—watching Rihanna in the halftime show. 😉 We jest, obviously we’re talking about the food! Whether you’re in it for the sports, the wild commercials, the Puppy Bowl, or the halftime show, everyone can unite over some winning apps for Super Bowl LVII. We have all the classics, like next-level wings, dips, and sliders, plus some show-stoppers like pull-apart breads and football-themed desserts.

There’s really something for everyone, from last-minute party throwers to hosts with the most. Short on time? Throw some chips or crackers in a bowl, serve next to an epic dip like our Nashville hot chicken dip or our football field dip, and call it a day. Looking for something a little easier? Homemade guacamole is always a hit, and nacho cheese is a classic for a reason. Looking to impress? Our sloppy Joe cups, our cheeseburger tot sliders, and our shrimp tostada bites are the perfect intersection between classy and game day. Want to really wow your crowd? Put our pull-apart spinach-artichoke football, our blooming quesadilla ring, or our football field dip in the middle of your app table and watch people lose their minds.

Sometimes all it takes for an incredible party spread is to change up the flavors of old standbys. We love Buffalo wing sauce as much as the next person, but were happily blown away by the flavor of our Taiwanese popcorn chicken, our honey-garlic cauliflower, and our ranch wings too. We almost couldn’t believe it, but grape jelly does truly elevate meatballs. And turns out, you can put anything in an egg roll—like Reuben sandwich-, meatball sub-, or cheesesteak-inspired fillings—for the perfect party appetizer.

No matter who you’re cheering for this Super Bowl, these apps will start the day off right—and keep everyone happy right up to the last play. For more game day inspiration, check out our favorite Super Bowl snacks, our top game day desserts, and our best-ever Super Bowl drinks too.

Sour Cream & Onion Dip

Letting the onions caramelize properly is key to the flavor of this dip. Going low and slow allows them to develop color while breaking down and becoming sweet and jammy. Stir them into this easy dip with some chives, and you have a simple appetizer that's crazy delicious. It will stay good in the fridge for a few days, so it's great to make ahead of time too!

Nachos Supreme

In 1943, some wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan in Eagle Pass, Texas, were on a shopping trip in the bordering city of Piedras Negras, Mexico. They stopped at a just-closed restaurant. Not wanting to disappoint his customers, the maître d’, Ignacio "El Nacho" Anaya, was determined to whip something up for them. He made do with what was left in the kitchen—tortillas, cheese, and pickled jalapeños—and served what would go on to be called "Nacho's especiales." TMYK!

Kfc breakfast menu

Certainly, let's dive deeper into the extensive offerings and nuances of KFC's breakfast menu.

KFC breakfast menu : A Delectable Morning Journey

KFC, the fast-food giant revered for its delectable chicken creations, has ventured into the realm of breakfast with a menu that encapsulates their commitment to bold flavors and satisfying meals. The breakfast menu, a newer addition to their culinary repertoire, is a testament to innovation, combining classic breakfast staples with the brand's signature taste.

1. Menu Offerings: A Symphony of Flavors

KFC's breakfast menu features an eclectic mix of options, each a masterpiece in its own right. The Chicken & Waffles Sandwich stands out as a harmonious blend of sweet and savory, with a golden Belgian waffle embracing a perfectly seasoned chicken fillet, drizzled with a touch of maple syrup for an explosion of flavors.

The Chicken Biscuit, another star attraction, presents a warm, flaky biscuit cradling a succulent chicken fillet, delivering a hearty and comforting breakfast experience. For enthusiasts of spicier fare, the Nashville Hot Chicken & Egg Biscuit offers the iconic Nashville Hot Chicken paired with a fluffy biscuit and a perfectly cooked egg, providing a fiery yet fulfilling start to the day.

2. Innovative Twists on Breakfast Classics

KFC's breakfast menu doesn't merely replicate traditional favorites; it redefines them. The Hash Brown Bowl, a delightful amalgamation of crispy hash browns, fluffy scrambled eggs, cheese, and a choice of KFC's famous chicken or sausage gravy, offers a satisfying breakfast in a single bowl, catering to those seeking a hearty morning meal.

Additionally, the breakfast platters, such as the Big Breakfast Box, provide a balanced combination of scrambled eggs, seasoned potatoes, a choice of sausage or bacon, and a biscuit—an ode to the classic breakfast experience, KFC style.

3. Beverage Selection and Convenience

To complement these delightful offerings, KFC provides an array of beverage options, including freshly brewed coffee, orange juice, and a selection of sodas, ensuring that patrons can pair their meal with their preferred drink.

Understanding the pace of modern life, KFC has crafted its breakfast items to be convenient and portable. Packaged in user-friendly containers, these meals are designed for on-the-go consumption, catering perfectly to busy mornings when time is of the essence.

4. Quality Assurance and Consistency

KFC maintains its commitment to quality across its breakfast menu, using fresh ingredients and upholding the same high standards that have earned its chicken a devoted following. Each breakfast item is meticulously prepared to ensure a consistently flavorful and satisfying experience for customers.

5. Expansion and Accessibility

Initially introduced in select locations, KFC's breakfast menu has garnered significant popularity, leading to a gradual expansion across different regions. As demand surges for diverse breakfast options, KFC is poised to introduce its breakfast offerings to more locations, enabling a wider audience to savor the distinctive flavors of its morning menu.

Final Thoughts

KFC's breakfast menu is a testament to their culinary innovation, marrying familiarity with bold experimentation. By offering an array of breakfast items that cater to diverse tastes and preferences, KFC is carving a niche in the breakfast market. Patrons are welcomed to start their mornings with a satisfying and flavorful experience, staying true to the brand's legacy of quality and taste.

4 Cuisines Perfect for Rainy Days at Work

For many of us, rain can put a damper on the workday. Walking out to your car or pulling out of the garage to discover it’s drizzling isn’t the most inspiring way to start your morning—especially if you might have to drive home in the rain after a long day at work.

Fortunately, there are a few excellent ways to boost your mood despite the inclement weather. Among the many pick-me-ups to which you could treat yourself are some delicious dishes that can help you get through dreary days with a smile on your face. Here’s a list of four cuisines that are perfect for surviving a rainy day at work. These dishes also make fantastic group meals, so consider ordering enough delivery for everyone in your office and treat your teammates to a rainy-day treat. Versatile Mac and Cheese When you wake up to find it pouring outside, the temptation to call in sick can be strong. But when you can’t grab your favorite blanket and watch sitcom reruns, hearty mac and cheese makes for a superb replacement. Like so many classic dishes, one of the most amazing things about mac and cheese—which we only seem to be discovering as of late—is its versatility. You could go with a Buffalo chicken mac and cheese, or even fried mac and cheese bites. Mac and cheese also makes a fantastic side for just about any entrée. Just ask the folks at The Press in Oklahoma City. They offer some of the best office catering OKC has to offer. Classic Chicken Pot Pie Chicken pot pie is an American classic. Even if it was one of those dishes you weren’t keen on growing up, there’s a surprising depth of flavor to be found in many chicken pot pie recipes. If you’re catering Columbus Ohio sales meetings on a rainy day, having some warm chicken pot pie delivered is a wonderful way to help your team feel comfortable, nourished, and appreciated. Consider places like Cap City Fine Diner and Bar, Dough Mama, or 101 Beer Kitchen for fantastic chicken pot pie options. Rich, Flavorful Phở Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup that has been making waves across the country. You can choose different meat options such as beef, chicken, and pork, or keep it vegan. Because pho is so adaptable, it’s an excellent option for catering Nashville, Denver, or Albuquerque corporate lunches. If soup doesn’t sound like the right idea for some members of your team, you’re in luck. Just about all restaurants that serve pho also offer a variety of noodle and rice plates that highlight similarly delicious flavors in a tidier package. There are also all kinds of appetizers to choose from at most pho restaurants, like crispy spring rolls. The Dynamic Duo: Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup When it comes to comfort food on a chilly day, you’d be hard-pressed to come up with something more soothing and satisfying than this classic combination. Like mac and cheese, there are a ton of options for grilled cheese sandwiches. Choose from different types of cheese, vegetables like tomatoes and onions, or even add bacon. Ordering grilled cheese and tomato soup for your office? Plan on plenty of dipping. Be sure to get some extra napkins with your order! About ezCater Your company is just a few clicks away from high-quality catering. With ezCater, you can order team lunch catering, individually packaged meals for a corporate seminar, or a full taco bar for a sales meeting. ezCater is built to connect you with food no matter your company’s location.

About ten thousand superfans already reached the American Dream Mall a night before the launch. If you go ahead and check out the live coverage, you will realize it was more of a concert than a burger-joint opening. The mall was equipped with thousands of people who were waiting to catch a glimpse of their icon MrBeast Burger. The YouTuber has began his journey to become a great restaurateur effectively.

Read the article further on so that you are up to date with all of the information. Find out who is MrBeast and how he started his journey below.

Who Is MrBeast And How He Started Beast Burger?

Jimmy Donaldson (also known as MrBeast) is an American YouTuber, philanthropist, and businessman. He started making YouTube videos in 2012, at the age of 13. In the early days, he was making “let’s play” videos but he didn’t get his big break until 2017 when he started making his “counting to 100,000” videos. Since then, he was constantly growing on YouTube with his crew. It seems like there is no one stopping him when it comes to views and subscribers. Today, his channel has over 100 million subscribers and on average, his every video gets over 40-50 million views. A lot of his videos have also crossed the 100 million views mark. A lot of his content is inspired by philanthropical acts where he is giving away money, car, or food to those in need. Jimmy always states that his goal is to make this world a better place by helping others. That’s why when he saw that the restaurants are struggling during the Covid-19 crises, he started his own restaurant chain known as MrBeast Burger. MrBeast Burger is a virtual delivery-only fast food restaurant chain that MrBeast started in partnership with Virtual Dining Concepts, LLC in December 2019. The brand has been serving over 900 locations in America, Europe, the UK, and Canada. And with the growing popularity of Jimmy all over the world, MrBeast Burger also has plans to expand in more locations in the world. But the way how this chain operates is very different from other competitors in the market. Just like his unique content, MrBeast has somehow introduced the concept of drop shipping in the restaurant industry. With the help of Virtual Dining Concepts, LLC, he came up with 600 cloud kitchens overnight. For those of you who don’t know what a cloud kitchen is? Cloud Kitchen (also known as Ghost Kitchen) is an affordable business model where a rented-out kitchen is being used to produce food for a single or a bunch of restaurants. The food is then delivered online through an aggregator.  With the help of this concept of cloud kitchens, MrBeast has collaborated with my small-scale businesses to help them have more customers because of his own popularity. He started renting out kitchens with other restaurants and started having their workforce work for his brand. The way he launched his brand was also very unique. He opened a physical store and gave away free burgers to his fans. But with free burgers, he also gave away thousands of dollars, iPads, and even a car. He made a video and uploaded it on YouTube and Boom! The video got more than 50 million views. This meant that MrBeast has managed to spread its brand to more than 50 million people with just one video. Another thing that helped him grow his business is the constant support from other influencers and YouTubers. In less than a year, Beast Burger has grown from 600 stores to over 900 stores. He initially started in America, but now, his brand (MrBeast Burger) has grown to different places like the UK, Europe, and Canada. He is continuously doing things to improve his fast-food brand and to expand in other major parts of the world. Seek out the detailed catalog of MrBeast Burger menu with prices below. The menu items will be same but the prices can vary as per the nearest location of the outlet.

MrBeast Burger Menu With Prices

Beast style, chandler style, chris style, and karl’s deluxe burgers are the star items on the menu and are a must-try. If you are not particularly feeling burgers, you can also opt for sandwiches. You can choose from Karl’s grilled cheese, crispy chicken tender, and the special nashville hot chicken tender sandwiches. A burger without fries just sounds like PBJ sandwich without jelly. MrBeast understands that well. That’s why he offers two kinds of fries to go with your burger; beast style and crinkle fries. Their fries are typically seasoned with paprika, cayenne, garlic, sugar, and a hint of lime. All the flavors pair well along and are delightful. They also offer ‘light on the pocket’ combos, so you can have a burger-fries-coke combo without burning a hole in your pocket. There are two options for you to choose from; beast style burger combo and chicken sandwich combo. Want to finish with something sweet? Buy yourself some chocolate chip cookies from the menu. Now, that’s what I call a hearty meal. With affordable prices, MrBeast Burger’s meals are must-have.

What People Say About MrBeast Burger | My Honest Review

Video by Matt Stonie When MrBeast launched MrBeast Burger, it made a dent in the fast-food industry. MrBeast, with his crew, opened more than 600 virtual kitchens overnight and the fast-food industry has never seen anything like this before. After the brand was launched, it received a mixed bag of reviews. Many people and influencers like Logan Paul and Reviewbrah liked the burgers. But on the other hand, some people did not like the product that MrBeast came up with. Some people said that the Beast Burger is better than brands like Burger King, and some said the menu needs more options. I download the Beast Burger app and ordered a chicken sandwich, beast-style burger, fries, and a cookie. I received my order within 10 minutes. First, I had the beast-style burger. It is a standard burger that comes with 2 or 3 seasoned crispy beef patties, American cheese, pickles, mustard, fries, onions, ketchup, and mayonnaise. You can see everything inside the burger from the side and the best part for me was that it was not that much saucy. And the burger also tasted good. I saw some concerns that the people’s burger had some undercooked beef, but that didn’t happen with me. The beef patties were juicy, tender, properly cooked, and were full of flavors. Beast style burger is their signature item and for me, it lived up to the expectations. Now was the turn of the chicken sandwich. It has a big piece of chicken tender in it accompanied with some lettuce, pickles, and mayonnaise. In terms of taste, it was fine, just like an average chicken sandwich. The chicken could be more tender but it was ok. I also had some seasoned fries and the fries were good. It gives you a taste of lime and some spice, which is insane to me. I’ve had fries many times not quite like this one. At last, I also ordered a standard chocolate cookie that is bigger than a standard cookie. The cookie I received was not hot or seemed oven-fresh but it was still soft and tasted good. My overall experience of the MrBeast Burger was decent. All of the things that I had could be improved but that doesn’t mean that they were bad. There is always a scope of improvement and for a new brand like this that is growing rapidly, I think MrBeast and his team will take some charge to improve these little things to make everything close to perfect.

Main Chick Hot Chicken, 20 E Union St., Unit 130, Pasadena, CA 91103

Main Chick started out at 626 Night Market and specializes in Nashville Hot chicken. The Pasadena brick and mortar just opened in the new food district area of Old Town. It’s a small space with counter seating. Order at the counter. The chicken is fried to order, so expect at least a 15 minute wait. They don’t have any vegetarian sandwiches. It’s very much chicken focused. All they have are combos, sandwiches, leg & thigh, fries and fountain drinks. Specify your desired hotness level from naked to supreme.

Combo #1: I felt like trying everything so combo #1 seemed like a good choice. You get a chicken sandwich, chicken tender, seasoned crinkle cut fries, & MC sauce for $13. The chicken sandwich is made with a chicken tender, which I didn’t realize until I received my food. The sandwich is better than the tender because the other elements add texture and flavor. The fried chicken tender (white meat, I believe) had a light coating with crispy edges – it wasn’t that crispy and the spices (I chose the spicy level) were flavorful but very strong on the cayenne. I thought the chicken was good but the sandwich elements were average (sweet slaw of cabbage and carrots, sweet soft bun, sweet sauce, pickles). The balance wasn’t there for me (Howlin Rays has spoiled me). And the fries – the seasoning was too salty. The dipping sauce was sweet, so that helped. The fries were on the soft side and not that crispy. A fried chicken sandwich is small but filling.

Prices are reasonable. A chicken sandwich is only $5.50. The place is cute and the service was very friendly. A combo would feed two people who aren’t starving but want more than a snack.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

What's new in fast food: Chicken sandwiches and cauliflower rice Some chains tried their best to slim down, while others did the exact opposite. The flurry of chicken sandwich additions are notable because several chains have eliminated a number of items over the past year to shed complexity and costs. However, with a new year kicking off and sales on the rise once again, restaurants are doing all they can to sustain the growth after a bleak 2020. As if there weren’t enough options for a basic fried chicken sandwich, Boston Market is here to up the ante. The Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich is now being sold for a limited time, with a confident company saying that the “chicken sandwich wars are over.” It gets its spiciness from a hot sauce that “perfectly blends cayenne pepper and chili powder with sugar, garlic and a handful of secret spices.” Chick-fil-A The creator of the fried chicken sandwich is changing things up with a grilled version. The Grilled Spicy Chicken Deluxe Sandwich is its first new chicken sandwich in nearly two years and has its own specially created Cilantro Lime Sauce. “We know guests are looking to add more variety to their meals, especially after a year where new food experiences were limited,” said Leslie Neslage, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A, in an acknowledgment that last year’s start of the pandemic complicated menu debuts. Chipotle Chipotle (CMG) added cauliflower rice to its menu as customers’ tastes keep shifting toward healthier options, including low-carb or more plant-based alternatives. The rice alternative, which costs $2 extra, was tested last summer before making its nationwide debut earlier this month. Starbucks Despite the frigid temperatures, cold drinks continue to be a success for the coffee chain. Starbucks (SBUX) said sales of the icy concoctions have grown 45% over the past four years, which has prompted it to unveil another cold drink. This month, the Honey Almondmilk Cold Brew, was added to menus — a new drink that also capitalizes on the growth of non-dairy milks. Pizza Hut The pizza chain added two new items this month: A crusty ring of cheese-stuffed dough called the Nothing But Stuffed Crust and a Detroit-style pizza. Competition among big chains has been fierce during the pandemic, which has fueled a surge in pizza demand from Americans who are spending more time at home and avoiding dine-in restaurants. Pizza Hut hopes the new menu items sustain last year’s growth, a trend that’s likely to continue. “What we saw in 2020 was that many of these pizza delivery guys had a big boom in their sales because there was nowhere else to go,” Peter Saleh, a restaurant analyst with research firm BTIG, previously told CNN Business. He predicts pizza sales will remain healthy in 2021 as the “environment for dining continues to be challenged.” Source link Orbem News #Business #cauliflower #Chicken #ChipotleandChick-fil-A:Here'swhat'snewinfastfood-CNN #Fast #Food #Rice #sandwiches #Starbucks #Whats

Come for the music, stay for the food: A guide to Fried Chicken in Nashville 

When you think of hot chicken, does any other city come to your mind other than Nashville? As a whole Nashville is pretty confident in their hot chicken game. In recent years, hot chicken has become a staple for locals and tourists alike. Chefs across the city have developed their own interpretations of the signature dish, and kept their recipes closely guarded. When coming to visit the city, there are plenty of places to try to find the best hot chicken around, and we have created the perfect guide to help you do so. 

Bojangles’

Sure, if you’re from the South you know about Bojangle’s famous never frozen, hand-breaded chicken marinated in bold seasoning, but you haven’t tried it Nashville style. With traveling as expensive as it is, Bojangles is the perfect way to dine on a budget without settling for less quality food. Bojangles recently launched their Bo’s Bold Supreme Tenders. They are juicy, crispy, and boneless, whole-breast meat tenderloins, hand-breaded, and cooked to perfection. For even more flavor try one of Bojangle’s signature sauces (we recommend the new buttermilk ranch sauce). This is the perfect way to experience the hot southern chicken without tourist prices!

Hattie B’s

This family owned restaurant is a fast-casual joint, featuring all the things you love about traditional hot chicken. With your choice of white or dark meat, choose your favorite combo of legs, thighs, breasts as well as wings and tenders. You should grab a plate with your preferred preparation of hot chicken, because paired with southern greens, pimento mac n cheese, or black-eyed peas salad, it makes for the most perfect combination. Their heat levels range from Southern (no heat) to Shut the Cluck up; this heat comes with a heat advisory! Warning: This place comes with very long lines and wait times, so place your order online ahead of time!

Bolton’s 

Get your dose of historical hot chicken with the folks at Bolton’s! This family recipe has been passed down for generations and is sure to give you the kick you’re looking for. The ambiance gives off a cafeteria nostalgic feel and the menu has dishes for everyone. You have your choice between chicken, fish and pork sandwiches.

Slow Burn 

This next place is one of Nashville’s best kept secrets. They have a fun menu filled with different variations of hot chicken from the traditional dish everyone loves to outside of the box breakfast items you can’t miss. Their heat levels start at “Southern” (no heat) all the way to their off-menu heat, “Elephant Repellant”. This one is for our most adventurous spicy eaters because it packs a punch.

2 C all-purpose flour

1 tbsp sea salt

1 tbsp chili powder

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp ground white pepper

1 tsp ground sage

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp celery salt

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground allspice

BUFFALO-STYLE HOT SAUCE

3 tbsp melted vegan butter

1/4 C buffalo-style hot sauce

AVOCADO RANCH

1/2 C vegan mayonnaise

1 tsp fresh or dried dill

1 tsp fresh or dried parsley

1/2 tbsp roughly chopped chives

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp unsweetened nondairy milk

1/2 an avocado, pitted and peeled

instructions

The oyster mushrooms should be separated into individual large pieces, but group the smaller mushrooms into groups of 2 or 3 connected by the stem.

Prepare your dredging stations. To make the liquid batter, combine nondairy milk with apple cider vinegar, hot sauce and flax meal in a large bowl. Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of the vegan milk mixture to make a slurry and then add it back into the bowl. Add the mushrooms and let them soak for at least 15 minutes. In the meantime, continue on with the rest of the recipe.

In another large bowl, combine the flour with the sea salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground white pepper, ground sage, coriander, smoked paprika, celery salt, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground cumin and ground allspice.

To make the avocado ranch, in a small food processor add vegan mayonnaise, dill, parsley, chives, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, sea salt, ground black pepper, unsweetened nondairy milk and the avocado. Blend until very smooth.

In a medium to large heavy bottomed pot, heat up frying oil to between 325°F to 350°F.

Once the oil reaches 350°F, start battering the mushrooms in batches. Remove the mushrooms from the liquid and place them on a separate tray. Work with the first batch of mushrooms and place them in the dry batter to coat evenly. Now place the mushrooms back into the liquid batter and then back into the dry batter to double dredge.

Carefully place only 2 or 3 battered mushrooms into the hot oil at a time, using a splatter guard if desired. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove from the hot oil with tongs and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Grill flour tortillas in a cast iron grill pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until grill marks appear, but flour tortillas should still be pliable. Alternatively you can broil the tortillas in the oven on a sheet pan on the top rack for about 1 minute, just until the char marks appear, but the tortillas are still pliable.

To make the buffalo sauce, in medium bowl, add melted vegan butter and buffalo-style hot sauce. Brush the hot sauce mixture on both sides of the mushrooms just before serving.

To assemble add napa cabbage to the tortilla, top with the fried oyster mushrooms, red onion, pickle slices and drizzle with avocado ranch. Serve immediately.

recipe notes

Nashville hot chicken is traditionally spicy, so the above amount is for a medium spice level. If you prefer mild, flip the amounts so that it’s 3 tbsp hot sauce and 1/4 C vegan melted butter.

The Evolution of K2FC, a.k.a. Kenji's Kimchi Fried Chicken Sandwich

[Photographs: Vicky Wasik, except where noted. Video: Serious Eats Team]

I visited the Serious Eats test kitchen in Brooklyn back in October of 2018 to shoot this video about my Korean fried chicken recipe. The date is relevant because now, over half a year later, the fried chicken I cook in the video bears only a slight resemblance to the one I currently serve at my restaurant, Wursthall.

Nor is it very similar to the one I served four years ago at a strip mall in the San Gabriel Valley, during a pop-up event for my first book tour. Or the one you may have seen me make a couple years ago on Guy's Grocery Games. In fact, I've been playing with some iteration of the concept of a kimchi-brined fried chicken sandwich for many years now, so what you're seeing in this recipe and video are really just a snapshot of a dish that's still evolving. Heck, there are two distinct versions in the video alone!

First things first: Calling it "Korean fried chicken" is a misnomer. Korean fried chicken is an actual, defined thing: chicken fried with an eggshell-crisp coating of cornstarch slurry. I even have a recipe for it.

The recipe I'm talking about today is more like Southern-style fried chicken with Korean flavors. It takes some influence from Nashville hot chicken and fast food chicken sandwiches as well. On the menu at Wursthall, we've been reluctantly calling it "K2FC"—Kenji's Korean fried chicken. I get embarrassed seeing my name printed in the menu like that, but my partner insists.*

* Strangely, it's a secondhand kind of embarrassment. I look at the menu and think, Ooohhh, who's that Kenji guy who decided to name a dish after himself? Yikes.

The very first time I made this sandwich, it was at a friend's house in Jamaica Plain, near Boston. The idea of marinating chicken in kimchi brine had just struck me. I already knew that pickle juice makes a great brine for fried chicken—aside from adding flavor, the high salt content alters the protein structure of the chicken so that it retains more moisture as it cooks, and the acidity has a tenderizing effect. The same should work with kimchi brine.

So we tried it. It was a pretty quick-and-dirty affair—essentially my Five-Ingredient Fried Chicken Sandwiches, made with kimchi in place of pickles—but it was promising.

The next batch was a little more involved, using my buttermilk fried chicken recipe as the base. I brought that version to an event my old boss Ken Oringer was throwing for the 15th anniversary of his restaurant Clio (which has since been taken over by his sashimi bar, Uni), featuring a 20-course tasting menu cooked by alumni of the restaurant. Nineteen of the world's leading chefs, and me with a fried chicken sandwich.

I'd been planning on serving it with a mayo spiked with gochujang (Korean fermented chili paste) on mini Martin's potato rolls, but Alex Talbot, half of the husband-and-wife team behind Curiosity Doughnuts and the seminal blog Ideas in Food, suggested making a dill-pickle mayonnaise instead, so I went with that, and boy, was it delicious. My friend Jamie Bissonnette, the chef at Little Donkey in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Toro in Boston and New York, was at the dinner and texted me mid-service to proclaim the sandwich "totally craveable." High praise!

I decided to keep working on the sandwich, serving it at a series of pop-ups in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco during my book tour, each time offering a slightly different version.

This rendition features Stella's classic biscuits with black sesame seeds folded into the dough.

By the time I brought it to Serious Eats, this was where we were: chicken thighs brined in kimchi juice, along with buttermilk, eggs, garlic, salt (just enough to account for the added liquid from the buttermilk), and soy sauce (soy sauce contains proteases that can help tenderize meat), as well as ground black pepper and gochugaru, a Korean chili flake that offers a lot of floral aroma and a bit of heat. You can read about more Korean pantry staples right here.

The sauce starts out like a Nashville hot chicken–style hot oil. I combine oil with chilies (more gochugaru), along with black pepper and garlic, then heat it up until it's sizzling and toasty-smelling.

If you want to keep it real simple, this is a good place to stop. The fried chicken dipped in hot chili oil is delicious all on its own.

But I decided to continue by emulsifying that chili oil into a sauce with gochujang, honey, cider vinegar, and a little soy sauce. It comes out with a sweet-hot-vinegary flavor profile—not unlike Buffalo sauce, but with a deeper, toasty chili flavor.

Next, it's time to dredge and fry the chicken. My standard fried chicken dredge is a mixture of flour and cornstarch, along with a dash of baking powder. The cornstarch and baking powder help the chicken to fry up extra light and crisp.

To this base, I add some more gochugaru and black pepper, along with black sesame seeds and garlic powder. (Garlic powder works well in dredges and spice rubs, where fresh garlic is likely to clump or burn.)

The real trick here (and in literally every single one of my fried chicken recipes) is to drizzle some of the liquid brine into the dredge and massage it in with your fingertips, creating little clumps of breading that add texture and surface area to the chicken as it fries.

Some folks like to rest their chicken after dredging and before frying. I find that the flour over-hydrates this way, producing a crust that's a little leathery. Instead, I prefer to fry immediately after dredging.

My frying vessel of choice at home is a flat-bottomed wok. The wide, flared sides make it easy to flip and maneuver the food inside, while also catching spatter before it hits your stove or countertop.

Peanut or soybean oil is excellent for deep-frying, delivering crispy crusts and neutral flavor. Canola or vegetable will work, too, though the chicken won't end up quite as crisp. I aim to keep the oil at 275 to 300°F (135 to 149°C) the whole way through.

Once the chicken is fried, I drain it, brush it with the sauce, and sprinkle it with a spice blend containing gochugaru, black pepper, black sesame seeds, and a touch of sugar.

Serve the chicken on a toasted potato bun, with a smear of kimchi mayonnaise (which is just drained kimchi, chopped and mixed with mayonnaise); plenty of dill pickles; and a pile of shredded cabbage. It's pretty tasty!

Even tastier is the version we made on Stella's biscuits. You can find the basic recipe in her book, BraveTart; here, she tweaked it by folding black sesame seeds into the dough.** For that version, I went extra light on the sauce, omitted the kimchi mayo, and instead added a drizzle of honey.

** Another version of these biscuits involves adding sliced scallions along with the sesame seeds, which you'll hear Stella mention in the video. Her final recipe doesn't include the scallions, but you can go ahead and add a handful if you want.

Folks who've been to my restaurant know that the dish in this video is pretty strikingly different from the fried chicken and waffles we serve daily. But, in fact, the Wursthall fried chicken was directly inspired by the black sesame biscuit sandwich!

The chicken starts out essentially the same, though we also add some gochujang to the brine. I've written previously about double-frying chicken—that is, frying it, letting it completely cool, then frying a second time before serving—and that's the technique we use here.

The idea is that after the first fry, moisture from the inner layers of breading eventually starts to spread out, causing the whole crust to soften a little. The second fry drives out moisture a second time, leaving you with an extra-crisp crust. We fry our chicken in 225°F (107°C) soybean oil, to an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C), then chill it and re-fry it to order, at 300°F (149°C), until it's crisp.

After coming out of the fry oil, it goes for a dunk in chili oil, which we flavor with gochugaru, black pepper, cumin, garlic, and ginger. Then it gets a heavy dry dusting of gochugaru, black pepper, cumin, salt, and sugar.

Instead of a bun, we make scallion cornbread waffles, a modified version of my brown butter cornbread—we increase the ratio of regular flour to cornmeal a bit, and reduce the amount of fat, for a little more structure—to which we add scallions, cilantro, and black sesame seeds, before baking in a Belgian waffle iron.

To finish the dish, we spread the waffles with kimchi butter (kimchi, butter, and gochujang combined in a food processor); place the chicken on top; drizzle it all with honey; and add a pile of our lacto-fermented dill pickles and a big splash of our house hot sauce (which is simple: Fresno chilies, fermented for two weeks, then blended and adjusted for seasoning).

All the same basic flavors and techniques are there; they're just rearranged a bit to fit a restaurant menu and production schedule.

So that's the current State of the Fried Chicken, and it's gonna keep changing. We're now discussing changing our current chicken schnitzel sandwich to a pork schnitzel sandwich and adding a spicy fried chicken sandwich to our menu, which will no doubt start with some past version of this one as a jumping-off point.

Since I'm not really one to keep recipes secret, attached to this article you'll find a recipe for the version of the sandwich shown in the video, plus another recipe for Stella's black sesame buttermilk biscuits. For the restaurant version, if you own Ed's book, Serious Eater, you've already got that recipe in your hand as a thank-you gift. If not, you can probably piece it together from my description here—or just wait. Eventually we'll publish the full recipe publicly, too.

Summerfest 2019

So, another Summerfest has come and gone.  I was soaked from the rain but didn’t care.  

It was a large group, allowing us to try out several vendors.  I was accompanied by my mother (fiancée was out of town) and friends Bo and Jen and their friends, Joe and Jen…

yes…

…really.

Obviously, one takeaway was the tradition/repetition of vendor offerings, serving the same dishes every year.  Although I can see the appeal, there is a level of tiredness about some of them.  I would love it if vendors changed up their cuisine each year.  Offer something new—they are not all one-trick ponies.  I am not saying this to be overly negative; I love Summerfest each year.  I just don’t want people to get fatigued by coming down and picking up the same dishes every time.  

A second takeaway was that because of the first point, I was more open to experimenting with newer cuisine. As a result, I found myself attracted to unique and novel offerings.  

Finally, as a bizarre observation, I found some of my favorite dishes offered by restaurants I seldom visit.  For example, one place I didn’t buy from was Betulla Burning, one of my all-time favorite places, though this could be because their Toscano wasn’t ready to be served until 45 minutes after the event started.

Despite taking issue with their business practices, I thoroughly enjoyed Brown's Social House's Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. I also devoured both the flank steak tacos and the crispy calamari from Centennial Foods, which, as you might have guessed, is not a restaurant. They’re a food service provider—they sell to restaurants, which makes their appearance each year plain bizarre. From Col Juicery (which I thought was Col. Juicery…like it was in the military), I enjoy the impressive cookie dough smoothie bowl.  From Cornerstone, another restaurant I rarely frequent, I forked down both the coconut curry beef with biscuit and the churro waffle.  I had to wait a while for the waffle, but the curry was solid.  Cornerstone really did well this year.  From the new Grand Trunk, I had their pannacotta, which was a little on the processed side, but enjoyable.  Likewise, with the waffle sticks from Magel’s Café.  On a bizarre tangent, I ended up skipping both Karahi King and Spicy Greens.

From Nancy’s, I had the falafel taco, and from Northern Lights, the chicken satay.  Of course, speaking of tradition/repetition, one cannot enjoy Summerfest without ordering the deep-fried pickles from Twisted Cork or the garlic parm fries and lobster roll from White Goose Bistro.  However, with the latter, I found it really odd they cut the bun crosswise, making it nearly impossible to eat.  Two of my favorites were the fried chicken wonton and the Hakka noodle from Zen.  

Yes, seriously, I ate all this.  And that’s even including the two chocolate dipped cheesecakes from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory as we left.

Were there winners. Yes, and here they are:

Crispy Calamari w/ Tzatziki from Centennial Foods

Coconut Curry Beef and Biscuit from Cornerstone

Falafel Taco from Nancy O’s

Fried Chicken Wonton from Zen.

And the final winner among those is…

Crispy Calamari w/ Tzatziki from Centennial Foods

 See you next year!
