    Plus extra dilly buttermilk ranch for the chicken and wedges. This is a shared platter with fiancé, not just for me lol.

    * Chicken gets marinated in buttermilk, pickle juice, mustard, and egg overnight.
    * Seasoned flour with salt, pepper, garlic p, onion p, paprika, baking powder.
    * Fry in batches. I use avocado oil at 350F
    * 3 tbsps cayenne, 2 tbsps brown sugar, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, lots of black pepper, 1 cup of hot leftover oil. Whisk together and brush sauce over chicken.

    Potato wedges are quartered large russets, boiled for 10 mins, drained/dried, toss in tallow and cajun seasonings. Baked at 400F for 30-40 mins, flipping halfway through.

    Macaroni is chicken stock barely covering pasta, cooked until most of the liquid is adsorbed, added evaporated milk, freshly grated sharp cheddar and gouda, seasoned with s+p and spoonful of dijon mustard. Serious Eats has a “3 ingredient stovetop” recipe that can give you specific measurements.
