Chick-fil-A isn’t going to be happy with this Texas restaurant’s new chicken sandwich
A post shared by Alexandre’s Bar (@alexandres_bar)Chick-fil-A, for the uninitiated, is closed on Sundays for religious observance.Hassell told Eater Dallas: “This year for Pride, we decided to come out with our own so people can get their chicken fix and feel good about it.”The chef’s poultry pile-up starts with a chicken breast that’s pickle-brined and breaded with a secret recipe featuring loads of spicy pepper.
The result is a Panko-textured filet with a slightly sweet taste, topped by two crinkle-cut pickles on lightly toasted buns, plus mayo.
Hold the homophobia.The bar packaged the gourmet chicken treats in a rainbow-themed wrap and hawked them to parade goers Sunday for the gayborhood Pride celebration.
They sold like hen-flavored hotcakes.Chicken-lover Hassell says she’s boycotted the Chick-fil-A chain for years, so the new dish was “our idea on how to reclaim something for our community.” Like the ability to eat chicken on a Sunday without the self-loathing.Patrons and Hassell alike seem inspired by new sammich.“I think we might, in the future, be pairing it with a wrinkle fry or a waffle fry.
