Soul food.<\/strong> The bread and butter of Southern culture in the United States. Whether it be barbeque, collard greens, corn bread, grits, or chicken and biscuits, the food is cooked with the heart and made with love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to tackle the task of bringing traditional\nsouthern dishes into the limelight. By purchasing basic ingredients from\nWinn-Dixie, for an affordable price of $20.75, a total of 18 biscuits were\nhandcrafted, with a delicious sauce and extra tenders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a bleak Monday morning, Will woke up at the crack of dawn\nwith an idea. A call was made to Levi at 9:30 A.M. \u201cWe are gonna bring back\nWill & Levi\u2019s column, we are going to make chicken biscuits and bring them\ninto our journalism class.\u201d At 2:00 P.M., Will hopped in his car and headed to\nthe local Winn-Dixie, the epicenter of southern groceries throughout the\nsoutheast. Will entered the building with a mission, inspired by chick-fil-a\nbiscuits and the hot syrup from metro diner. Will busted his way over to the\nfrozen food section and grabbed two bags of fast-n-fixin chicken tenders. On\nhis way out, he grabbed two Pillsbury biscuits rolls, a 24 oz. bottle of \u201cAunt\nJemima\u2019s Original Syrup\u201d, and \u201cLouisiana\u2019s Pure Crystal Hot Sauce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in anticipation of the upcoming cooking, Levi\ncleaned his kitchen and preheated the oven to 400 degrees. He also made sure\nthat he had the necessary baking sheets, and prepared the seasonings he would\nuse to flavor the chicken. Digging into his spice drawer, he gathered salt,\npepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After laying out the baking sheets on the pans so the\nbiscuits would have a place to rest while in the oven, Will hopped in his car heading to the place where the dish\nwould be prepared.\nAn obstacle was met\nwhen the gatekeeper refused to let Will in, despite having the proper forms of\nidentification,\nand confirmation from\nthe host. After insisting he was on urgent business, he was reluctantly let\nthrough. At 4:32,\nWill kicked the door\nopen and threw his ingredients the kitchen counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first order of business was to prepare the savory sauce\nthat would be served alongside the meal. Using the mixer, the maple syrup and hot sauce was coalesced into a thick\nbrown-red substance. Then, Will emptied the biscuit container, and to his dismay, he was missing 18 from the\npromised 20. However, no time could be wasted, and the biscuits were escorted into the waiting oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While waiting on the biscuits, Levi had the brilliant idea\nto whip out his bottle of \u201cThe End\u201d reaper pepper sauce. The sauce is 6 million Scoville units, and left Will crying\non the floor. While Will was on the floor, Levi took the biscuits from the oven, where they had been baking for ten\nminutes.  As Will was recovering from the\nheat of the sauce, he seasoned his chicken with the spice, and slung the tray\nof chicken tenders into the warm embrace of the pre-heated oven. As we waited for the duration of\nthe 12-minute timer, \u201cThe End\u201d sauce\u2019s powerful<\/p>\n\n\n\n

heat hit Levi. Levi\ntold Will to go on without him, and continue the preparation of the dish. Will\nthen carefully\nsliced the biscuits\nand placed a single tender in each. He then covered them in tinfoil wrap, and\nplaced it in the refrigerator,\namong the hot-syrup\nsauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, the meal was brought into our class and the\nreception was nothing but positive. The biscuits were eagerly consumed in less than five minutes to Jack\nFoster\u2019s dismay. Although the road was not smooth, the result was more than we could have imagined. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
