A solution for those Sunday Chick-Fil-A cravings

[cartman]

You can thank a student at the University of Texas for coming up with a copycat recipe for the chicken sandwiches. I gave the recipe a try and it is pretty damn close.

[Honolulu_Blue]

There is only one Chick-Fil-A in Michigan and it's too damn far from where I live.

This is probably a good thing.

[Blackadar]

Nice find. Now I can eat a good chicken sandwich without feeling bad that I'm supporting a corporation of bigots.

Same. Thanks, cartman! I will try this post-haste.

Not seeing waffle fries recipe anywhere...

[stevew]

Kentucky Kernel seasoned flour makes a really good sandwich which is like a hybrid of the KFC/Chick File A without the questionable politics. It's in a white box with red lettering near the shake and bake

Can't vouch for this one as I haven't tried it, but the steps (mainly the two different temps for frying) look to be correct.

I got from being strictly raised Baptist, that sex is something to have kids and within marriage. Do I practice that, no. I would have a plethora of kids. But the point being is not to lust over someone. To not be a society about what you want and to have to have that now, like society is becoming. It's all about themselves. The problem is pushing these view points of marriage on people is done because you want society to be more about not being I have to have it all myself, but in turn you are pushing your own agenda so it's tricky. I do think a society were people don't have to have things all their way and right now, is best for kids growing up but people get offended................. I'm tired of the whole debate. There is much worse people than ones that care about the future of society even if they presently are upsetting some. I love chic fil a, their employees are a million times nicer than other chain restaurants I go to. Just relax and enjoy the freaking chicken sandwhich, or not.

Or not. I don't support a corporation that supports bigotry, no matter how nicely they smile at me. I'm sure the KKK would smile at me at their bake sale, but I'm not buying those brownies.

Also, are you drunk? 'Cause that shit made almost no sense.

Although I think the whole "Support Chik-Fil-A" thing a couple years back was a bit of clever marketing-a-lot-of-people-were-dumb-enough-to-fall-for, I can't think of any business on earth I feel better about supporting than CFA.

I reckon we just balance each other out.

In a society where sex was for marriage to raise family, kids wouldn't feel as much they can screw what they want when they want where they want how they want. It's not how society is today, but that's where they are coming from I believe. What I took from the Bible why you shouldn't, and not just because it's forbidden. I got it from reading the Bible as a whole. I do think they have good motives, unlike the kkk.

Hi buddy

[ISiddiqui]

Why do you not think that homosexuals who want to get married want to have have sex in marriage and raise a family? ;)

'Cause, you know, if you thought that we've ever had the idea that sex is only for procreation in a family, that would kind of really screw up folks who were too old to have kids ;).

[TCY Junkie]

They may want to but can't unless they adopt from what I understand ;)

Teaching kids sex is for having kids would be good for society I believe, would make them less selfish in one area. Don't expect a kid to grow up and do that but influence him to be a little less selfish.

[cartman]

Well, maybe if the kids could get Chick-Fil-A on Sunday's, they would be less tempted to have sex instead.

So I presume you're only having sex for procreation yourself?

[chadritt]

If I was sterile could I still have sex with my spouse, if I had one of course? Could I eat chick-fil-a?

We know that there's not a bigoted cause out there that you won't support. It's comforting to know you're consistent.

It doesn't matter what you believe. It's when you or others try to impose your beliefs on others that it matters. That's not your right, no matter what book - the Bible, the Necronomicon or a Betty Crocker Cookbook - you choose to read.

Agreed 100%.
I didnt get into the whole support Chik-Fil-A argument...but as a whole their moral compass is pretty darn straight. And whether you agree with his ideology or not, you have to respect a man who willingly forfeits millions of dollars a year just for his own personal beliefs.

I don't have to respect him any more than I respect the local head of the KKK or any other bigoted organization. Just because he wears a suit instead of a white hood doesn't make him any less of a piece of shit.

But I've totally derailed this thread, so I'm opting out. You can continue to support whatever businesses that conform with your desire to deny others the rights you enjoy.

[TCY Junkie]

That could help, but not as much as other things. ha

I'm not perfect. I'm not suggesting people do that when they get older, just teach kids sex is for babies when they first learn about it.

If I was sterile could I still have sex with my spouse, if I had one of course? Could I eat chick-fil-a?

You can have as much sex as you want and chick-fil-a

It doesn't matter what you believe. It's when you or others try to impose your beliefs on others that it matters. That's not your right, no matter what book - the Bible, the Necronomicon or a Betty Crocker Cookbook - you choose to read.

I don't think there is any doubts or questions about kids being raised to be less selfish than they'll be less selfish probably.

[ISiddiqui]

They may want to but can't unless they adopt from what I understand ;)

Teaching kids sex is for having kids would be good for society I believe, would make them less selfish in one area. Don't expect a kid to grow up and do that but influence him to be a little less selfish.

And they can adopt in many states.

Also, sex being good for society - in the context for loving stable relationships being better for the stability of the community - well, that wouldn't crowd out gay marriage either. In fact, it's an argue FOR gay marriage. They want the legal recognition of stable long term relationships. Denying it to them tends to send the signal that you SHOULD be promiscuous, no?

[ISiddiqui]

just teach kids sex is for babies when they first learn about it.

But its not and hasn't been for looooong while. Sex is very important concerning intimacy in marriage. It isn't "just" for procreation. Not even the Catholic Church believes that anymore.

[panerd]

So Cartman starts a thread which is a cool way to make an imitation Chick-fil-a and somehow it becomes a debate on gays? Do any of you really think you are winning anyone over to "your side" in this particular thread?

I'm not winning anyone over, tired of the chic fil a bashing...... A few people asked questions on my opinions.

[ColtCrazy]

Cracker Barrel has chicken sliders on their menu right now that are damn near Chick-Fil-A. Tasty stuff.

If they can't have babies they shouldn't be having sex....... If they are, which is happening then marriage would be ideal so they aren't so promiscuous. But I can't support something that I don't think should be hapening in the first place. The way society is, I don't know how to correct it. Why I usually don't talk about it, but treating someone that is against it like they are equal with kkk is something I'm tired of hearing. You ask very good questions.

But its not and hasn't been for looooong while. Sex is very important concerning intimacy in marriage. It isn't "just" for procreation. Not even the Catholic Church believes that anymore.

These are my opinions, not something I was taught in a church........ The point being to raise kids to be less selfishly. I don't believe in expecting kids to follow throgh with this, but make kids less selfish. You shouldn't be having sex unless you can have babies and raise a faimly should be taught, but once an adult and that committment is made you can have sex as often as it takes to satisfy your partner. Shouldn't be a selfish lover.

[ISiddiqui]

If they can't have babies they shouldn't be having sex.......

So once women hit 40 they are cut off? ;)

But I can't support something that I don't think should be hapening in the first place.

Sex in a loving stable marriage? ;)

These are my opinions, not something I was taught in a church........

Well I was taught in church that God loves all of His children and wants them all to experience the joys and wonders of marriage, which the closest thing you can feel from another human the self-denying, fully-giving love of God. Straight or gay.

You shouldn't be having sex unless you can have babies and raise a faimly should be taught, but once an adult and that committment is made you can have sex as often as it takes to satisfy your partner. Shouldn't be a selfish lover.

I don't see where homosexuality comes into play here at all. Gay people can follow this as well.

[TCY Junkie]

When I said good questions, I meant some being a smartass. Which I genuinely enjoy hearing. Raise kids not to have sex except to have kids, when they are an adult society will benefit from how they were raised. They can sleep to anyone of the opposite sex, as long as once upon a time they'd under normal healthy conditions could have a kid with them.

Sex in a loving stable marriage? ;)

I just don't believe in gay sex, you do. This is simply because society is all about themselves and being raised sex is for babies would minimize selfishness.

Well I was taught in church that God loves all of His children and wants them all to experience the joys and wonders of marriage, which the closest thing you can feel from another human the self-denying, fully-giving love of God. Straight or gay.

Yes he does. People shouldn't look down on others. But I do think being raised less selfishly would make a better society.

I don't see where homosexuality comes into play here at all. Gay people can follow this as well. Thing is I believe people would be less selfish if they were rasied sex is for babies. Kids seeing same sex couples would make them question what was up. Ideally everyone would raise a kid this way making a less selflish society. Would it ever happen, no. If you don't think society would be less selfish in that situation than that's your opinion but I do. And I'd like a less selfish society.

[ISiddiqui]

Why do you think that would result in a less selfish society? Plenty of folks were raised with sex is for babies a century ago, but they don't appear to be any less selfish.

It makes no sense.

I don't know which I'd rather have be the truth:
a) he realizes that and is just trying to cover up the true motive behind what he believes
b) he's too dumb to realize that he's been duped into believing this

I was really enjoying the conversation with him, he was being very civil. A little smart ass, but I enjoy keeping things interesting to read so I enjoyed it. He asked some questions I never thought of before which is cool.

[ISiddiqui]

Do you not think that wanting to deny basic rights that you enjoy to those of a different color or gender is selfish? Jim Crow was definitely around in 1914 and women still couldn't vote.

[ISiddiqui]

I'd add, that people are getting more materialistic and economic selfish, not due to sex for pleasure, but because free market capitalism has taken off. The idea of taking less profits for community benefit doesn't exist today and that's a part of capitalism. However economic selfishness isn't the only form of selfishness.

[stevew]

Okay, I remember having this old school knockoff cookbook back when I first got married. I imagine all that stuff is on the internet now. Stuff like how to make a frostee. While special sauce is 1000island, its not exactly 1000 island. I remember there was a process to make a Krystal burger patty but it was kind of involved. I think I got about halfway thru and gave up. The waffle fries from ore ida are basically as good as Chick Fil-a. Is there a thing out there that is "Polynesian Sauce" that you can buy? Its basically sweet n sour sauce but not the same. I also wish I could find a good general tso's sauce recipe. The ones I have tried are never as good as just getting it from the Chinese joint.

[stevew]

Dola-
Chicken needs to be less politically charged. It's either homophobic or can be racially insensitive or can freak out those anti-GMO truther peoples.

Hey chicken--knock it the f off.

[stevew]

Trola-i was thinking if getting some egg laying chickens this spring. I need to double check on the legality of it. I'm pretty sure my neighbor will be cool with it cause he can use the chicken poop in his garden.

[TCY Junkie]

I do not try to deny people of the opposite sex or race anything. Except maybe I deny girls the right to open doors. Which some deny me of denying them of that, and that's fine.

The idea of taking less profits for community benefit doesn't exist today and that's a part of capitalism. However economic selfishness isn't the only form of selfishness.

Yes, the driving force is capitalism. As people get more they feel entitled to more. It has lead to sexual pleasures being well accepted in society. I don't think selfless would go away if there weren't gays, and things would be great. I just wish people would be more selfless, gay marriage to me is a sign people are becoming more and more selfish as they are feeling entitled to more.

Wait...Who did Truett Cathy refuse to serve?

Damn people have changed the story.

He simply made a statement that he disagreed with laws supporting gay marriage.

And wow lets throw the KKK around a few more times while we are at it. (here is a hint for some, they hated, killed and protested more than just balcks)...

So somehow, some way, you believe everyone must be tolerant of everyone else, unless of course your true feelings are intolerant of a single group, then it is OK for society to be intolerant of you.

That is not how freedom works.

You are free to hate me. Thats ok. Id prefer you didnt. But I would fight for your right to freely and openly hate me.

[Butter]

So somehow, some way, you believe everyone must be tolerant of everyone else, unless of course your true feelings are intolerant of a single group, then it is OK for society to be intolerant of you.

Personally, I'm not all that fired up about this, I just choose not to eat at Chik-Fil-A because I know their profits go toward supporting "pro-family" (code for anti-gay) organizations.

However, this idea that the tolerant should tolerate everyone EVEN THE INTOLERANT is really, really wrong. That's some straight up Fox News sideways logic bullshit. Don't do it, man.

[cougarfreak]

I just like the sandwiches. Don't make everything political.


Oh, and I like cheese on mine. And they have different kinds of cheese.

I have nothing against homosexuality...*cliche* have several gay friends */cliche*


While I disagree with the Cathy family's position I still think they have a right to express it. I will also still eat their tasty sandwiches 5 times a year.

That said I do believe EVERYONE is free to their own opinion and I am free to disagree with their opinion.

I see no shame in them stating their beliefs, and give them credit AT LEAST for not being hypocrits.

You are missing the point. 100 years ago, things were denied to these groups of people - that was selfishly holding on to power. So, no, I don't think people 100 years ago were less selfish than we are today.

You mean how those blacks were getting more and more selfish as they were feeling entitled to vote and stuff?

I mean the ideal of marriage is self-less, you are to subsume yourself for your spouse (ideally). And people want that for themselves. This should be a conservative's wet dream really - the alternative is telling people they can't get married and thus feel the only way to live is sexually promiscuously. These people are saying, no, we just want to live a stable married life. I mean c'mon!

Sexual pleasures have always been around. There's a reason why prostitution is called the world's oldest profession. How is gay marriage equated to people becoming more and more selfish as they are feeling entitled to more?

I believe if people were raised the way I mentioned, than they'd be more selfless. It's an extremely extreme case I'm bringing up because I don't think there is any doubt people would be less selfish in that example. You could say that highways have spoiled people and if they'd be done away with than people would be less spoiled. What I am using is an extreme case which I believe shows people that are against it don't have to be full of hate.

I feel this is getting repetitive, but I enjoyed it. I threw out an extreme case because I was reading a chic fil a thread and saw an unwaranted attacked. I wouldn't have came in here and said chic fil a is everything right in the world based on their owner, tired of hearing it. But I did enjoy you trying to put holes in what I said.

[stevew]

I've only had Chick-Fil-A once, and I was underwhelmed.

It's easy for me to take a hardline moral stance on these guys when the nearest one to my house is like 30 minutes a way.

I would, however, turn a blind eye if the Popeye's chicken people started turning up the hate speech. I drive way out of my way to hit that place up a few times a year.

[chadritt]

I still eat Chick-Fil-A occasionally, i grew up eating their chicken biscuit every morning since we sold them at my school, but I go to the Hollywood location which is pretty clearly the most gay friendly one they have so i feel ok. Not great but ok.

[chadritt]

When all the controversy started the made a big deal to come out and say "You know were in Hollywood right? We have openly gay employees, we don't contribute to anything that would hurt them." Theres still the corporate issues but that locations pretty gay friendly.

Sorry, I just don't see it. At all. Your argument makes as much sense to me as the opposite - free love would make people more selfless.

[stevew]

Tried it out and it was solid. I subbed Mrs. Dash's original for Celery Salt because i didn't have any CS and it was almost 5 bucks for a jar and I hate celery. I don't have a point of reference on Chick Fil A but I found it to be a pretty good sandwich and I would probably make it again. I'm more of a fan of the waffle fries anyways, I usually get them and the chicken nuggets when I go to Chick Fil A.

[stevew]

[Butter]

We tried this also. I think our oil was a little too hot, but other than user error (the breading got a little darker than it should've) it was a damn fine chicken sandwich. It wasn't Chick-Fil-A, but it wasn't far off.

I like mine with pickle, mayonnaise, and hot sauce, and with all that and the breading and marinade it was quite a reasonable facsimile.

[Matthean]

There is only one Chick-Fil-A in Michigan and it's too damn far from where I live.

This is probably a good thing.

Granted, it is at the airport.

Chick-fil-A to add another Metro Detroit location; it would be second open statewide | MLive.com (http://www.mlive.com/business/detroit/index.ssf/2014/03/chick-fil-a_to_add_another_met.html#comments)
