Summary

The creator makes garlic Parmesan chicken fries instead of french fries when their kids ask for them, humorously justifying it as preparing them for adulthood. The video shows the process of making the chicken fries and a hot honey ranch dipping sauce.

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Fries 🍟 FULL RECIPE IS IN MY PROFILE! My kids asked for French fries for dinner, so naturally, like any parent who cares about their children, I completely ignored them and made exactly what I was planning on making anyway. These crispy garlic Parmesan chicken fries are INSANE. Juicy buttermilk-marinated chicken coated in seasoned flour and crispy panko, fried until golden brown, then tossed in homemade garlic Parmesan butter. I served them with hot honey ranch for dipping, and somehow the kids completely forgot about the French fries. #ChickenRecipe #FriedChicken #CrispyChicken #EasyRecipes #ComfortFood

Transcript

My kids asked for French fries for dinner. So naturally, like any parent who cares about their children, I completely ignored them and made exactly what I was planning on making anyway. Who cares what any parent who cares about their children would do? I completely ignored them and made them garlic Parmesan chicken fries with a side of hot honey ranch instead. Look, one of my strongest personality traits is asking people exactly what they want and then doing whatever I was already planning on doing in the first place. My therapist says I need to work on that. What he... then I stopped therapy. Asking my kids is mostly ceremonial. It gives them the illusion that they have control over their little lives. Am I a bad dad? Sure. But these crispy garlic Parmesan chicken fries say otherwise. Besides, I like to think I'm preparing them for adulthood, where nobody gives a crap whether you want it either. And don't you dare think about commenting recipe. Good, I'm done!
