Friday's Fave Foods***Tailgate Southwestern Style


The Georgia Bulldogs travel to Arizona this week to take them on in Tempe. Speaking from experience I can say that for fans especially, there is going to be some culture shock involved for the travelers. Chick-fil-a, an Atlanta based corporation, is trying to take the edge off.


Chick-fil-A Offers Taste of Home to UGA Football Fans
in Phoenix for the ASU Game


WHAT: The Phoenix-area Chick-fil-A restaurant franchise Operators would like to welcome University of Georgia football fans that will be traveling to Arizona for the Bulldogs’ match-up versus the Arizona
State Devils. Fans in town for the game can enjoy “home-cooking” by eating Chick-fil-A prior to the
game at the Devil’s Lair tailgating area beginning at 2 p.m. on game day, Sept. 20. The Chick-fil-A
“Eat Mor Chikin®” Cow will be on-hand to welcome fans to the game.


“We enjoy serving our great food to football fans during the pre-game festivities and
throughout the football season at our 15 Valley locations,” said Kimberly Caballero, franchise
Operator of the Chick-fil-A at SanTan Village. “We thought it would be fun to serve fans
traveling from our chain’s home state of Georgia. We couldn’t think of a better way to make
the Georgia football fans feel at home than with a pre-game meal from Chick-fil-A.”


You can make them yourself. Probably do not want to try this at your tail-gate tent, but you could make them ahead of time, wrap in foil lined paper, and hold in insulated coolers.

Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich


Yield :4 servings


Measure Ingredients:


3 cup Peanut oil


1 Egg


1 cup Flour


1 cup Milk


2½ tablespoon Powdered sugar


½ teaspoon Pepper


2 tablespoon Salt


Skinless,boneless chicken breasts-halved

Plain hamburger buns


2 tablespoon Melted butter

Dill pickle chips/slices


1) Heat oil in a pressure cooker over med. heat to about 400 F. 2) In small bowl, beat egg and stir in milk. 3) In separate bowl, combine dry ingreds.-mix well. 4) Dip each piece of chicken in milk until it is fully moistened. 5) Roll moistened chicken in flour mixture untill completely coated. 6) Drop all 4 chicken pcs. into hot oil and close pressure cooker. When steam starts shooting through the pressure release, set timer for 3 1/2 min. 7) While chicken is cooking, spread a coating of melted butter on face of each bun. 8) When chicken is done, remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Place two pickles on each bottom bun; add a chicken breast, then the top bun. Yield: 4 sandwiches It is very important that oil be hot for this recipe. Test the temperature by dropping some of the flour coating into the oil. If it bubbles rapidly, your oil is probably hot enough. It should take abt. 20 min. to heat up. To make a "deluxe" chicken sandwich, simply add two tomato slices and a leaf of lettuce. Mayonaise also goes well on this sandwich--it is a side order at the restaurant.
