Oh my gosh. This orange chicken fried chicken sandwich was so good. There are notes, but overall, this was a really good sandwich. I love anything Fatima fries. Chicken, shrimp, fish tacos; there’s really nothing she can’t fry. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases.

In our house, we’re down for tacos wherever, whenever. Taco Monday, Taco Tuesday, Taco Wednesday, Taco any day! We’ve made fish, chicken, vegetables, you name it. On our journey to change up our tacos, we fried up some chicken and drizzled a luscious garlic ranch sauce all over them. They were a hit. We even just purchased a new book, Dragons Love Tacos, for Liam. It’s now one of my favorite books…
Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwiches: Cooking Through Full Plate
July 7, 2021Since we made these hot honey fried chicken sandwiches back in April, we’ve made them once a month. Is it the hot honey glaze, the mayo, the pickles, or the fried chicken that makes this so good? Yes. There’s a restaurant we love called The Shady Lady. They have one of the best chicken sandwiches in Queens. The bread is perfect, the chicken is fried to perfection, and the sriracha…
John Legend’s Fried Chicken Wings: Cooking Through Cravings
January 25, 2017Did anyone catch the game the other day? Good because you can fill me on what happened. If you haven’t guessed it, I am not a fan of football. But, I love “game day” food. I love a great dip, mozzarella stick and fried chicken wings. Although I’m not part of the 64% of Americans who watch football, I wanted to find a great appetizer to serve at my Super Bowl halftime…
Using Leftover Buttermilk on a Million Recipes
May 18, 2016Well, maybe not a million… For Cinco de Mayo, I made these absolutely delicious margarita cupcakes with Silver Patrón tequila. These cupcakes required buttermilk. But buttermilk doesn’t come in small containers (at least at the grocery store I go to), so we had to get a large container. We couldn’t let the rest of it go to waste, so we spent a whole day making things with the leftover buttermilk; pancakes,…
A Crunchy Fried Chicken Brunch with Buttery Biscuits and Hash
March 30, 2016We’ve been on a fried chicken spree lately. Which means we’ve been hitting the gym a little harder in an effort to make up for that. Last weekend we had a crunchy fried chicken brunch using Fatima’s delicious crunchy fried chicken recipe with chicken breast. We placed the chicken in between buttery, southern-style biscuits and paired them with vegetarian sweet potato hash. On my fried chicken biscuit, I topped it with an egg…
Homemade Mashed Potato Bowl
February 15, 2016Growing up, we rarely went out to fast food restaurants. My parents made a point to make sure we were eating a homemade meal at the dinner table every night. It wasn’t until college where I really delved into the fast food world. Chipotle and Popeye’s were within walking distance of our campus – very dangerous. Fatima, then opened my eyes up to KFC and their mashed potato bowl. While…
We heart brunch. Our favorite kind of brunch is when we make it in our own kitchen. This morning, we made a delicious plate of fried chicken and waffles using just a few ingredients. Super simple and a great way to step up your DIY brunch game.…
Crunchy Fried Chicken
January 23, 2015Frying things in our apartment came to a screeching halt after the fire of summer 2012. But in the spirit of the Super Bowl I decided to lift the ban on frying and make fried chicken. Nothing is better than eating messy chicken with a beer (or in our case wine) and watching the big game. We also got to make Ashley’s BBQ sauce and it went amazingly with this…
