Homemade Chick-fil-A (hold the homophobia)

It’s easy for us Canadians to vow never to eat at Chick-fil-A: not only are we forward thinking on gay rights issues, but we also don’t have any Chick-fil-As up here. Turns out it’s way easier to boycott something when you’ve never had it and never will have it.

The problem for those down in the States is that . . . Well, it turns out Chick-fil-A is apparently bonkers good. To be fair, it’s really hard to make bad fried chicken. It’s essentially fatty chicken cooked in boiling fat. From an evolutionary standpoint, that’s fucking delicious.

But what can you do when your sense of decency says no but your sense of taste says, “YES, OH SWEET GOD YES OM NOM NOM”? Well, thanks to Hilah Cooking, you can now make Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches at home, without the nagging sense that you’re supporting bigotry! Oh, and she also calls it Chick-Fil-Gay, because fuck you, Chick-fil-A. (For best results, take a shot every time she uses a term that could be used in gay sex, ie “pound your meat,” “big buns.”)
