Let me put my love into you babe,

Let me put my love on the line,

Let me put my love into you babe,

Let me cut your cake with my knife.

So by now we all know the brouhaha lately thats been going on with Chick-Fil-A’s CEO and the gay and lesbian community and the same sex marriage advocates.

Personally I think its ridiculous to deny any two people the right to marry based on sexual orientation. That being said I also think anyone should have the right to believe and act in any way their personal moral compass dictates so long as it does not infringe on some others right to do exactly the same thing. In my humble opinion straights and gays are full of shit to think one group holds the moral high ground over the other group simply based on individual beliefs. There is plenty of room on the planet for both groups to coexist and neither group deserves special treatment or rights over the other. This includes letting two men or women legally marry. Besides why should straight people corner the market that is generally the misery of marriage and subsequent divorce. I say let the gays have the same taste of that fun.

In that spirit, I decided to mock up a few of my own Chick-Fil-A sandwiches this weekend at home.

Its pretty simple to make an accurate representation of the famous sandwich at home for a fraction of the cost. The trick is the chicken needs to be brined for six hours or overnight is even better.

1.Dissolve 1/2 cup salt and 1/4 cup of sugar in a quart of cold water. Place skinless, boneless chicken breasts in brine. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours or like I mentioned above over night.

2.Remove chicken from brine and rinse with cold water. Dry breasts with paper towel.

3.Mix two eggs with a cup of milk in container.

4.Make spice mixture of 2 tablespoon pepper, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon MSG

5.Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, with 2 tablespoons dry milk, 1 tablespoon of baking powder,1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar and half the spice mixture in step 4. listed above.

6.Season chicken breast with spice mixture, then dredge in milk/egg solution then place in flour mixture and cover with and pat down with the seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour.

7.Fry the chicken breasts in 350 degree peanut oil for about 4-6 minutes based on breast size.

8.Toast hamburger buns in melted butter in a non-stick frying pan.

You assemble the sandwiches by placing a few dill pickles slices on the bottom of butter toasted buns. Then simply place the fried chicken on the bun with the pickles and top with the other bun half.

So if you’re inclined give them a try. I think you’ll be surprised just how close to the real thing they are. Lastly the good part about making these in the comfort and privacy of your own home, you don’t have to suffer the public shame and humiliation of eating two or a dozen of these bastards.
