get medium level and the mac and cheese. I like the fingers rather than the breast and wing if you want real blow it out your ass chicken then go to prince's or boltons. Hattie B's is hot chicken for the regular people so it tastes good rather than making you feel terrible.
Gus' is opening a restaurant in Chamblee, GA (one of the Atlanta suburbs within 285). Curious to see how it is / does in that location.
They opened one called Joellas or some shit in NKY and we went for lunch one day. I got the sammich with pimento cheese and pickles at the hottest level. It was awesome but blew me out like 3 times that afternoon. Straight fire in the hole!
Hell, a good old box of Publix fried chicken, take home and smother in Tabasco, nuke it in a little. Your colon will be on fire for 24 hours....Awesome
It didn't suck. No sauce involved, it's fried chicken, but marinated I guess? Got the hot and it was just about right. Local beer (Honkey Tonk) was pretty tasty as well. Off to Memphis tomorrow, Gus' huh?
Hattie B's is good. For some real homemade goodness - try this: http://gardenandgun.com/article/pickle-brined-dipped-chicken I have a fryer and two more breasts brining in the fridge right now. It is some seriously good chicken. Good even without the brine if you're in a bit of a hurry.
I was talking about sauce used to marinate and pepper(s) in the breading. I know how to make it, I just don't get it
Wouldn't surprise me. Lots of it left over in restaurants and the salt is what you're looking for. Interestingly while a LOT of people swear by spices and aromatics in the brine, those who have looked at it more scientifically have found yeah the salt is important but nothing else actually gets into and flavors the meat. You're better off doing a compound butter or injecting to get flavor into it while you're cooking. I've done it a lot like that recipe including pickling spice and this year went salt - no difference I could taste.
I heard the place for chicken in Nashville was a place called Prince's. It's down in the hood in a strip mall and take a gun with ya.
