INSTRUCTIONS:
Fried Chicken:
Marinade:
In a large bowl, add buttermilk, salt, MSG, white pepper, sweet paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk until combined, then add chicken thighs and drumsticks; toss to coat and let it marinate at room temperature for 5 minutes, or ideally overnight in the fridge.
Dredge:
In a medium bowl, add flour and all the spices and whisk until combined.
Fill up a heavy bottom pot just over halfway, at least 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 330F.
Drizzle a few tablespoons of your marinade into the flour mixture, and toss to create little balls of dredge. Remove one piece of chicken from the marinade, then toss and press your chicken into the dredge until each piece is fully coated. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
In 2 to 3 batches, gently lay down your chicken into your hot oil, and fry for 6 - 8 minutes or until deep golden brown, and your thermometer reads 165F. Remove and drain on a wire rack and repeat with the rest of your chicken.
Cajun Remoulade:
In a tall container or glass combine two egg yolks, garlic, mustard, water and lemon juice in that order. Then add salt to taste.
Pour vegetable oil, and use a hand blender to beat the mixture. It will turn homogeneous fairly quickly. Blend on high until the consistency is as thick as mayonnaise.
Place into a bowl and fold in the rest of the ingredients.
Bread and butter pickles:
Combine all liquid ingredients in a medium saucepot and bring to a simmer. Turn off heat.
Pack cucumbers in a glass jar and pour the hot liquid over. Cover and let cool.
Jalapeno Avocado Salsa:
Over an open flame, char the outside of the jalapeños. Place them into a heat resistant bowl and cover with plastic wrap. The jalapeños will soften after 5 minutes
After 5 minutes, use a paper towel to remove the charred skin off of the jalapeños. Remove seeds
In a blender combine avocado, jalapeños, garlic, cilantro and a splash of water to allow the blender blade to move.
Start to blend on low to medium speed and increase speed gradually. Drizzle oil in the blender to emulsify
Remove from the blender into a bowl.Add salt and lime juice to taste.
Beans:
In a medium sauce pot, combine oil, garlic, onion, salt over medium high heat.
Sauté for 5 minutes, add chicken stock when the vegetables begin to brown.
Add tomato paste, paprika, ancho powder, and beans.
Bring to a simmer and turn down the heat. The beans should absorb most of the liquid. This should take 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside

I think we're all pretty similar at anOrdain in that we all have a soft spot link for vintage watches. So we look at a link lot of watches from the '30s, '40s, and mid-century, and then we try to mix it up to make it a bit more contemporary. Then we need to find a link way to fuse it with the traditional processes, which is another big part of the brand. Enameling is the main one at the moment, but in future we want to branch out into different things.
The last few years, Patek's added the Travel Time 5269R and the "Rainbow" link chronograph 5968R, and now Patek's adding a sportier, non-gemset watch to its link lineup of smaller Aquanauts. And I might just love link it.
Wow, this recipe is insane—definitely takes the Double Down to a whole new level! Got me thinking about how I’ve been trying to recreate more in-game food IRL too. Been playing a lot of Stardew Valley lately, especially trying to catch the sturgeon (super useful for caviar production). Wrote a guide about it here if anyone’s into cooking + gaming vibes: https://stardewvalleyapk.net/stardew-valley-sturgeon/ — love seeing how food crosses into both worlds.
