The Colonel’s Chicken Corn Chowder (Fancy KFC) by Erik Fancy Fast Food Ingredients: 1 KFC Original Recipe two-piece Breast & Wing Meal, with biscuit and additional sides: 1 corn on the cob 1 order of potato wedges 1 order of cole slaw 1 large beverage of your choice 1 bottle of Aquafina water* organic chives (for garnish and a touch of irony) * Aquafina, the branded bottled water of PepsiCo (former parent company of KFC), may not be available at all restaurants. You may substitute it with water from the self-service fountain tap. Empty the bottle of water into a pot and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, crumble in the biscuit little by little. Let it simmer under a low-medium heat for a few minutes so that the starch from the biscuit thickens the chowder base.Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients. Chop the potato wedges into smaller pieces. Skin and bone the chicken breast and wing, then chop the meat into small pieces. Using a knife or corn stripper, remove the corn kernels from the cob. Rinse the cole slaw in a colander.Once all of the biscuit has dissolved into the water, stir in all the other ingredients. Then let it simmer on a low-medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. When it’s done, serve the chowder in a bowl and garnish it with cut organic chives. Serve with your beverage of choice in a nice-looking glass. And voila! The Colonel may have a recipe with eleven herbs and spices, but he didn’t have this one!
