10 Chicken Dishes I Want to Eat

I have a tourtured relationship with chicken recipes. Most recipe writers have a crippling fear of undercooked chicken and instruct home cooks to cook all the tender juciness from their chicken. I hate dry chicken. There are two ways to foil the cardboard chicken conspiracy. First, find recipes that pound or cut chicken into even-sized pieces that cook evenly. Second, choose recipes that cut or shread cooked chicken and bathe it in a sauces or dressings. Lastly, make sure to rest your meat about 5-10 minutes before cutting to make sure the juices stay in the meat instead of all over your cutting board.  Together we can win the battle for moist chicken. Good Luck!

Chow Down (at Chick-fil-A)

I love Willam and I used to love Chick-fil-a's food. I have a dream that someday my daughter will eat chicken and waffle fries with her two dads without supporting a business that condemns us to hell and funds anti-gay causes. Christian dogma gives me indigestion anyway. While I wait, I will shed a single tear for baby Jesus as I watch this video.
