It's more of soft and flaky, rather than crispy, crust. It's also what I usually use for skinless, boneless breasts.

This is a dry batter with a simple egg wash, double dredging is a detriment on this one.

Brining, even if a short duration, makes a difference.

I fry in cast iron and finish in the oven, I'm not a sous vide aficionado - maybe out of sheer ignorance.

I do a version that includes crushed almonds, spices, flour, egg and then just baked in oven. It's pretty yummy. I haven't made it in ages though, this was a good reminder.

Crushed almonds would be amazing.

If you're not using it as a proxy for egg wash, I assume the benefits are negligible compared to a brine (where you could also include vinegar or whatev that it would otherwise be lacking).

If I did more of the authentic method with flour on a whole chicken, I would use buttermilk, and you should finish with hot sauce!

sous vide is a way of life

I made coconut chicken curry in the sous vide for school this week. Total prep was about 10 mins, storage was 2 mins, getting it ready to bring it is 1 min. Taste/texture is amazing, you can't beat it.

What are you going to school for ?

Seeing that pic of that zinger burger thing, I could hardly believe it when I read the FF thread that the zinger new to the USA (is that correct ?). We've had that thing here for just under a decade.

I have enjoyed beef, chicken and pork in the SV so far. Steak was the easiest home run food at first when I bought my anova. Roasts are great but maybe not as a first time cook.

Great idea! I've done almond crusted seafood before but not recently. Will do this and bake as you suggested. Yum! Thanks!

I'm doing one of those full time coding bootcamps.

About half way through, best decision I've ever made.

I think this weekend I'm going to build a personal website and start blogging about my experience. Both for my benefit and for others.

Like anything, it is all of what you make it, but for me and I think a lot of people, having a structure with instructors and classmates who are all going through the same thing and are passionate about it makes a huge difference.

I had tried to self-learn part-time in the past, but I'm actually becoming functional very quickly now.

What languages/stack are you learning now? Do they teach more than one or just focus in on one stack?

LL,

I doubt a stupid sales guy will be able to learn programming.

LL,

I am also curious about such change.
Care to explain your reasons for this? May be in your blog?
Also clearly interested in a link to the blog.

Same question but in a different way. Why does a sales guy have to learn how to program?

Sales was fun, and I enjoyed it, but I knew I would regret not learning to write code. I was doing it when I was 8 years old and loved it. I really enjoy building things of all types.

I don't code per se (I occasionally write scripts in a coding language but I'm not a programmer) but I'm with you on the building stuff.

I've had to move into more management stuff lately and I miss making ****.
