Chicken 6: C-C-C-Combo

After the disappointment that was yesterday, lunch today was a return to form and actually a return to the original idea to kick off the month of chicken (BK + chicken salad). A combination of forces to bring about a delicious and cost effective (at least theoretically) meal and almost seemed to have a resonating effect with other consumables.

A combination of Sierra Mist and orange juice was no big deal. Then the story telling coworker comes in and takes a sour belt and puts in into his coffee. Tasted like eating a belt with coffee, but the sugar came up and looked just awful on the top of the coffee. Adding a belt to the Sierra Mist/OJ concoction resulted in the same results, with different flavors other than sour. The belts ended up soft and mushy in the end in both cases.

Chicken 6 - Combo

The original idea today was to get chicken salad (caved on the price) and chicken patties from the local Super Associated Supermarket, combining the ingredients into a chicken salad within chicken patties sandwich. Who needs bread really. Well actually we did want some bread to take on some of the chicken salad so we checked out some loafs.

Me and the coworker caved on the price (still 6 bucks a pound) but were slowed by the fact that the chicken patties came in packs that were just a little too expensive. Chicken salad was a little pricey, so costs had to be cut somewhere.

Burger King to the rescue!

Two Spicy Chicken Crisp sandwiches instead supplied the "bread" for our main sandwich. The Chicken Crisps were deconstructed, chicken slab covered with chicken salad and topped with the other patty. The resulting sandwich: fantastic! The chicken "bread" was actually much more bread like than expected; it really felt like eating a chicken salad sandwich, but chickenier. The patties also showed a little more kick than you'd get eating them in original sandwich form. Both me and my coworker approved, this meal will return past chicken month.

The remaining buns were used to construct more traditional chicken salad sandwiches (ie with bread) and were tasty as well. Kudos Super Associated for making a good chicken salad.

Afterward I topped off lunch by finishing boss lady's meal (street meat chicken, what I had yesterday except GOOD this time). Boy did I disapprove of gravity's effect on me when that was finished.

Anywho, today was a great chicken based day. If you get the chance, hit that chicken sandwich up with some chicken salad. It's just like adding mayo but oh so much better.

And again, hail to the Burger King!
