What part of the chicken comes in a ring??

The answer: THE BEST PART!





Well I guess I should explain my love for chicken rings. It all started in High School (where most great things do he he) . There was a certain menu item that EVERYONE went nuts for ... Just so you know it wasn't just me! Well a couple of years after I graduated I found out that they stopped serving Chicken Rings, well kinda. They still served "Chicken Rings" but they were fakes! They were just chicken tenders named Chicken Rings in order to invoke false hope in the hearts of the students.

Well, for the months of April and May I substituted for the school district I went to. Which I loved... well on a particular day I was subbing for a First Grade class.Part of my duties were to walk the kids down to the cafeteria for lunch. Now when I took the lunch count I noticed that Chicken Rings were on the menu. I thought these poor children were being fooled into thinking they had Chicken Rings too. Well when I walked them done there... guess what.. there were chicken rings! I was so excited and of course had to get them. I took them back to the room so I could enjoy them all to myself. And I did! But of course I had to take some pictures.





So just in case you were wondering.. it does get better. The best part about chicken rings is how dip-able they are.




They are excellent in ketchup BUT even better in mashed potatoes. As a matter of fact when you dip them in mashed potatoes (with no gravy on them) they turn into something completely different. They start to taste like popcorn!! Let me break this down for you.

Weird, I know.. but amazing! So the best part of the day was this. On my way home from the school I called my best friend Shelly. This is how the conversation went:

Me: Today was such a good day
Shelly: Why?
Me: I had chicken rings today!
Shelly: Oh it was a good day!

And that's why we are best friends! hehe
