The Chiefs of Chicken Sandwiches

I fried some de-boned thighs, the Chiefs boned the Eagles

We hit on the two black QBs in the Super Bowl for first time, the state of the current QB in general and two things being true at once on the podcast this past week.

And the game delivered.

A lot to go in on this game that I truly thought the Eagles, or Iggles, would take home given how they attacked. I mean, close to halftime it was a 20:32 to 7:09 Eagles advantage in time of position. But this speaks to one of the points I’ve been trying to point out, a touchdown is a play, or two plays, not a 7 minute drive.

Score Fast. Score Often. Can’t Lose.

Jalen Hurts was awesome, but he also fumbled. Neither team got the QB on the ground. Two separate issues but both didn’t do the whole sack thing well (Two sacks in the whole game?!). Big plays ruled the game.

Oh and 32, Nick Bolton, played a game that was absolutely remarkable.

Yes we will talk Pat Mahomes and Isiah Pacheco and Travis Kelce and Creed Humphrey later this week. They had some really fun and cool plays. But Bolton is the star here because that dude was all over and he just kept showing up to shut things down.

Bolton flew around like a try psycho.

Thanks Fox

Shouldn’t be able to happen and he did it.

Big day for Bolton.

On the biggest stage he showed up like a monster.

You love to see it.

Speaking of what you love to see…

Yessir.

You take the de-boned chicken that we did a few weeks ago (shout out to everyone who has already tried the technique I shot video of and loved it). Then you season and soak those bad boys in buttermilk with a little bourbon and Texas Pete.

After they have relaxed in the fridge for a few hours you take them out and put them in seasoned flour and then drop them into oil at 375. Temp drop is going to bring you down but that’s where your cooking happens. Instead of the 350 that drops to 260-275, you get a drop to 300-310, big difference in both cook and crispy, crunchy skin.

And don’t crowd the pot. Two thighs in a standard Dutch Oven, three at the most.

A crowded pot leads to the flour caking and falling off and no crispy skin due to the big temp drop and not enough space to float around.

Did a spicy mayo. Drizzled them in buffalo sauce. Hot chicken sandwich. Put pickles on my wife’s.

Let’s go.

Cheers!
