KFC Famous Bowl

Today was a stressful day. I was turned down by my credit union, informed that I was in collections for a cable bill that flew under the radar from two years ago, drove around on errands for almost four hours, spent almost my whole paycheck on student loans, and my car is acting up. I had to do something for myself. So first, I bought a pony.


HER NAME IS TWILIGHT SPARKLE. FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC, GUYS.
And then I made this chicken bowl.

KFC Famous bowl
3 potatoes
a handful of shredded cheese
canned mini corn
1/2 onion or shallot
chicken
flour
garlic
butter
cooking oil

Microwave the potatoes. Make sure to cut slits in them or they will explode and you'll be too angry to make the rest of your famous bowl.

In a pan fry up the onion and mini corn. Chop them up as small as you like but they mix in with the potatoes best as tiny chunks. Set those aside.

Now, fill the pan around halfway full with with cooking oil. Put that on high heat and, while you're waiting, chop the chicken up into bite sized pieces. Throw those in a bag and toss with a big handful of flour and some garlic (dry works well for this). THROW THEM IN THE OIL.

Fry them up until they turn goldeny-brown. Then put lay them out on some paper towels to drain off the extra oil. Don't pour that oil down your sink. You think you can when no one is looking but plumbing problems actually come back to haunt you. Just last week I wiped my butt with paper towel and the toilet stayed clogged for two weeks until the repair man came. It was awful. Don't do things your mother says not to, even if you are alone. You will cry and be sorry.

Once the taters have been microwaved and left to cool you can either mash them with the skins on or peel it off. I think the skin is gross and weird so my taters are typically naked. Mash those with a fork and butter. If you begin to get uncomfortable with the level of butter and oil used in this recipe spray them with Pam.

Throw the onions/corn on top of the potatoes, then the chicken and top with the cheese blend. I used a shredded four cheese blend but you can use anything you want. No need to whip out the Gruyere or bleu cheese. This is chunks of fried chicken, guys.


It will look something like this. I need to get a better camera. My cell phone is not cutting it.
Now, enjoy this in front of people so you can tell them you made a famous bowl yourself. They will think you crazy.

TIPZ:
-Make sure the chicken is cooked in the middle. Smaller chunks cut the cooking time down and you can be more comfortable eating it without finding chewy pink parts.
-Mash the potatoes in the bowl you're going to eat it from.
-You can try tossing the chicken with other spices but a couple shakes of the dried minced garlic were great for me. One teaspoon of dried garlic is equal to the taste of biting into an entire bulb.
