Spicy Chicken Goodness

We got to try the new Chickfila Spicy Chicken Sandwich one week early!  We made reservations online and showed up during our time slot.

Dad liked what was written on the sandwich bag.

The breading was the same as the normal chicken sandwich only a little darker because of the spice.  And, it came with a small bottle of water.



To me the taste was similar to the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich.  I think this is the market they are trying to tap into.  Now all we need to do is a taste test!  It wasn't that spicy, just enough to give it some character.


David liked it.



This picture is for all the American's overseas.  Gotta love waffle fries!

So, the question remains... which sandwich is better?  The original or the spicy?  Well, the original is pretty good!  It will probably depend on your preference, but for me...I'd need to do a taste test so I could compare them at the same time.

In the most recent past...

It has been a while since I have done a food update for everyone, so here goes.

I made stuffed peppers! We prefer the yellow ones over the green ones. But they were pretty tasty. I do have some tweaking I'd like to do on them though.
Salsa! There is nothing like some homemade salsa. The only problem is finding cilantro over here. They don't sell it in clusters like they do in the US, so we borrowed some from a friend who bought it in the form of a potted plant.


Apple Nut Squares. Yummy! But when they are warm they taste best without the nuts. I think this recipe can also be used to make banana bread :o) ...bet you can guess what I'll be trying next.

A Quiche! Although very common, this quiche wasn't made by following a recipe. I did my own improvising and was thoroughly pleased with the results. (important...precook the crust a little before you add everything)
Chicken Cordon Bleu! Yum Yum, next time I will use crunchier bread crumbs, but we were very happy with the tenderness of the chicken and the delicious melting cheese...yum! Homemade Chocolate Chips cookies! Lacking some of the recommended ingredients I was able to make some successful substitutions and they turned out fabulously. :o)

And lastly...although not edible...we made dinner for our friend Vinod and he brought us a cactus! We named him Fluffy.
