Many of us enjoy watching the Food Channel. For me, its Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. Besides a host that has as much charisma as anyone on TV, Guy Fieri is a noteworthy food entrepreneur himself. He visits some really 'path not taken' places that offer delicious cuisine. I have tried several of the recipes featured as well as visited some of the eateries. Some worked out, some didn't. This episode really caught my eye. The Denver Biscuit Company offers a breakfast biscuit that looked so good I just had to try it. As Guy himself would say it, "This is The Franklin".
This recipe makes 2 biscuits.
1 pack of LARGE Flakey Grand biscuits
1 chicken thigh, butterflied, halved, and pounded out thin
1 cup White gravy
1 cup flour
1/2 cup corn starch
4 slices Bacon
2 slices Cheddar Cheese
2 eggs
1 sliced apple (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
Bake biscuits according to directions. Of course, homemade are great, but I have good luck with Pillsbury Flakey Grands. Keep warm.
Prepare white gravy according to directions. Stir, and keep warm. Fry up bacon to medium crispness, slice into 4 strips, and
drain.
Pound out chicken thigh meat. Dredge in corn starch, wash in buttermilk,
dredge in flour, and put into hot skillet with extra virgin olive oil. Turn after 2 minutes; set aside and drain
when done.
Fry 2 eggs over medium and set aside.
Build STACK as follows: slice biscuit in half and set bottom on plate. Trim and place chicken on next. Place 2 strips bacon on each chicken steak. Place a slice of cheese on next. Top with trimmed fried egg and cover with top half of biscuit. Skewer with tall stick and heavy drizzle white gravy overall. This is not just for breakfast. For safety's sake I offer 2 simple rules.
1) Don't wear tight pants when eating this
2) NAPKIN
