> Yeah, but then you have to stink up the house or go outside to deep fry it. For the price and peace of mind, I’ll go to Chick-fil-A. I’m not convinced that Chick-fil-A is actually brined in pickle juice, but using pickle juice as a chicken brine does work well.

No, you don’t need to deep fry it. Sous vide it at 140 degrees F for an hour then a 30 second sear on each side on a hot cast iron skillet. No muss, no fuss.

Pretty judgemental for someone who previously posted about going out late at night in his pajamas to pick up [diet cherry Coke, white bread and ranch dressing](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=819048).

That’s not Chik-Fil-A chicken! That’s some hoity toity treatment that doesn’t deserve to call itself fast food. What’s wrong with you, man? You aren’t going to fool anyone with that chicken abomination. 😉

That’s not at all what I want when I want a Southern style chicken sandwich. When I want Chick-Fil-A or just any fast food chicken sandwich, I want _fried_ chicken. Just like when I want chicken nuggets, I want them fried, or fish tacos, it’d better be battered and fried fish in there, none of this healthy grilled stuff.

ETA: Deep fried food is _delicious_ and no other form of cooking will scratch that itch. When I’m bored I do, in fact, make my own deep fried nuggets from chopped up boneless thigh meat, but it is a messy pain in the ass, and I have to do it outdoors so my wife doesn’t kill me. Still, I’d rather go to Chick-Fil-A, if I had one closer by.

Shhhh, don’t reveal any secret challenges. Especially the one where the policeman walks over and just can’t control his laughter.

I think you should tell the chicken eater about your erotic fascination for the things he puts into his mouth.

I don’t care about healthy, it’s that batter that I can’t abide. Batter is made from grain. Grain’s not food, grain’s what food eats.

To be fair, the commandment is “thou shalt not bear false witness.”

Which must mean it’s totally cool to threaten to tell the truth so you can extort something out of someone else.

“And I say unto you, Yea, gather ye loopholes while ye may”

Why wouldn’t it make you a better person?

I’m sure the yoga mat chemical they use in their bread helps boost your inner balance.
