  • 1/3 cup (90g) ketchup

  • 3 tablespoons (43g) hot sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

  • 2 teaspoons (10g) Worcestershire sauce

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

Chicken:

  1. In a medium-size bowl, mix buttermilk and chicken spice (add salt if the “chicken seasoning does not contain any). Add your tenders to the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes but ideally overnight.

Dredge:

  1. Pre-heat a seven-quart pot filled with about three quarts of vegetable oil to 350F.

  2. Whisk to combine all-purpose flour, cooking spice, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. (add salt only if the “cooking spice” does not contain any)

  3. In batches, pull your chicken from the marinade, toss it in your remaining dredge, shake off the excess, dip back into the marinade and dredge one last time; shake off the excess and repeat with the rest of the chicken.

  4. In two or three batches, fry your chicken for two to three minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.

  5. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool and lightly season with salt immediately

Slaw:

  1. Mix mayo, green onion, garlic, lemon zest, and juice in a medium-size bowl, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Add the cabbage to your bowl, toss it together, and season with salt if needed.

Curly Fries:

  1. Process your potatoes by using a spiralizer with the curly attachment, or you can cut them into matchsticks.

  2. Place all your processed potatoes in a bowl, cover them with warm water and season the water generously with salt; let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Drain your potatoes dry them out as much as possible using paper towels. Then, lightly toss the fries with a pinch of flour.

  4. In a separate bowl, add in one cup of your dredge plus paprika and black pepper; whisk together, and then whisk in water.

  5. Dip your lightly starch coated fries into your batter in two to three batches, shake off the excess, and gently lay them into the oil—fry for three to four minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

  6. Remove, drain on a wire rack and lightly season with salt while hot—repeat with the rest of your fries.

Chicken Sauce:

  1. Mix all of the ingredients in a small-size bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

WindUp is a great event with a chill and casual vibe that I really appreciate. Attendees are there to see and buy watches, but a lot of the show is like any great watch meetup, offering the chance to swap watches and chat with like-minded friends. For those who want to check out a WindUp for themselves, the NYC fair will run Friday to link Sunday, link October 20-22, and you can find more information here. Otherwise, a huge thanks to everyone who came to hang out in link Chicago; it was a blast.

I link told her I knew that and once again wanted to know if the minute hand had been fixed because I had visions of driving all the way through Hades once again to arrive at South Hades only to discover that I had a brand-new crystal over a link minute hand that was just floating randomly all over the inside of my watch.“The watch works,” she link said.I saw we were at an impasse.

When we love something once, we are link always, in a sense, link looking for it. Does a watch seek its lost owner like an owner seeks its watch? One of my eccentricities link is that I believe in the agency of objects – and if you believe objects have agency, it’s not so much of a leap to entertain the notion that they might have inner lives.
