Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Biscuit Giveway

Chik-fil-A has been encouraging us to "Eat Mor Chikin" since 1995 and hopefully soon, you'll be doing just that.

Starting today through Tuesday, February 1st, you can WIN coupons to try the new Spicy Chicken Biscuit from Chik-fil-A for FREE. I'm also throwing in calendars (with $30 worth of coupons) and plush Chick-fil-A cows, too!

To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment below this post. For details on how to get additional entries (to increase your chances of winning), click here.




The hand-breaded Spicy Chicken Biscuit features a boneless chicken breast seasoned with a blend of peppers and spices on a made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuit. Both are made from scratch each morning in every store. Customize your biscuit with the addition of pepperjack cheese, tomato, or the addition of a few packets of Texas Pete for an extra kick. I like to mix Texas Pete with mayonnaise or dip my biscuit in some smoky Chick-Fil-A sauce.



I had the fortunate opportunity to visit a local Chick-fil-A, sample some menu items and learn more about this 40 year old company. Much to my surprise, more than 70% of the Chick-fil-A menu is made from scratch. They chop lettuce, scrape carrots, slice strawberries, squeeze lemons, hand-bread chicken, roll out biscuits, butter buns, and the list goes on. The menu is uniform and each restaurant across the country serves the same thing. For my fellow Southerners, if you're in Hollywood, California and you're a little homesick, you can still get a sweet iced tea and feel no more than a block away from home.

Hands-On Cooking Class

Have you ever wanted to attend a hands-on cooking class?
This class will be conducted by me, professional cook and culinary artist, Nikki Miller-Ka!

This day and age, many don't know how to cook. Or if you know how you cook, you don't do it often and you need a little jump start to get your culinary juices flowing!
The menu will be a simple, yet elegant meal that will impress anyone from a boyfriend, wife, husband or mother-in-law!
The menu will include:
    Butternut Squash &Mushroom Bisque 
    Slow-Roasted Whole Chicken 
    Yeast Rolls 
    Roasted Red Pepper Potato Gratin 
    Chocolate Molten Cake
**Menu subject to change**

To insure that everyone who wants to cook has a chance, the class will be open only to 12 participants. The class will not be held if we have less than this number of people. Once the class fills, a waiting list will be opened and those individuals will be able to participate WITHOUT the hands-on option for a lower price ($15).
All utensils, instruction, and fun will be provided. Feel free to bring your favorite beverage or any cooking utensils you favor in your own kitchen!
A recipe list, supply list, directions to location, etc. will be furnished after you register (ie. pay) for the class. No refunds will be issued, so check your schedules before RSVP'ing. If the class roster does not reach 12 members by January 11, the class will be cancelled.
At this time, all payments will be taken ONLINE ONLY. No CODs or cash/check at the door.
