Chicken 1

So this month is Chicken Month™. Continual struggles at the office to make a decision on exactly what to eat have driven me mad enough to suggest that every work day, for the entire month of October, chicken is for lunch. Weekends are not included as no one really needs help deciding what to eat whilst out of work, as opposed to the constant indecision on what to eat during the midday reprieve. Only one of my cohorts is bold enough to take on such an endeavor with me, and who cracks first remains to be seen. So for 22 work days the only animal for lunch is the delicious chicken in all its forms, which started with today.

Chicken Day 1 - Burger King

Chicken Month™ started serendipitously on a Thursday, which all of you should KNOW means that the 2 for $4 King Deal was 2 BK original chicken sandwiches for $4.

What a great deal. Absolutely incredible.

Anyways, the original plan was to go big and get some chicken salad and combine it with the BK chicken. I mean after all, chicken salad is just mayo with chicken for the most part. It would have added a whole new dimension to the meal. Unfortunately, chicken salad prices at the locations visited started at $6 per pound and that just felt like too damn much for mayo and chicken.

As an aside, I'd like to thank Burger King for keeping it real in Manhattan. An actual dollar menu, daily deals, all that good stuff. A decent fast food meal can be had for under $5, which is damn near impossible at the other similar fine dining establishments. Oh but the Burger Shots suck. Burger Shots are lies!

Back to the point, instead of going bigger than I should have, I went a more conservative route. One Original Chicken Sammich (deal split with a witness to the glory rather than the partner in crime) and a spicy chicken crisp sandwich ($1 on the aforementioned dollar menu). Hit it with a bit of Sriracha and that makes for a tasty cheap beginning to chicken.

So I'm high spirits as the month begins. More chicken to come.
