Herby Butter Chicken on a Stick
Chef Kendal: "Back home, we eat chicken on a stick. The first barbecue festival I ever went to, that's one of the things that we'd eat. I'm going to do an herby butter chicken on a stick with a fried potato ball with some bacon wrapped asparagus."
Joe Bastianich: "There's a lot going on there. The elevation. How are we going to plate this thing to restaurant quality?"
Chef Kendal: "I've got all different textures. I've got colors, and I feel like I've got a balanced dish up and down."
Judging
Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich, Aaron Sanchez
Judges talking behind the scenes:
"So, Kendall, he's gonna do a herb butter roasted chicken, skewers. Like chicken on a stick."
"Yeah, basically elevated exactly that. So it's a smart idea, but there's a lot going on there. Chicken on a stick, potato croquettes, and bacon wrapped asparagus. He seems like he has a lot of elements on his dish."
"What's the hero? Yeah, that's the question."
