Five-Spice Chicken Tendies
As seen on TV
Which Show?
Who made this dish?
Orange team dinner for the Cracker Barrel quickfire. Laurence built efficiency into his plan by reusing his teammates’ batters from earlier dishes. {Laurence}: "They both did batter based things, so we’re gonna do some chicken tendies. I’m trying to be smart about this cook, so I’m gonna reuse the batters from both Oscar and Sherry’s dishes. Tendies in 10 minutes." A five-spice butter and a sweet tea five-spice syrup gave the plate a Southern-leaning Asian accent. The fatal slip came at the end. When Kristen asked about internal temperature: {Laurence}: "I did not check." The chicken came up undercooked, and orange team lost the win to yellow.
{Judge}: "I like the sauce. I like the butter." {Judge}: "There were so many opportunities to make sure the chicken was cooked." {Judge}: "Lawrence, if your chicken was cooked, you would have won."
