How to Keep Things Poppin’ During These Uncertain Times
Times are wild, y’all. I am out here having picnics in the yard because everything is a mess and I need to feel a sense of normalcy. In the midst of this pandemic, my sweet friend Grace moved in with me (of course this was set up for months, as my previous roommate was moving out) and it has been a wild transition. We have become closer as friends through all of this, but it has definitely tested our friendship and our patience. We have been taking a lot of walks together, ordered in lots of yummy take-out, and watched loooots of netflix. 🥡
It’s been a bit anxiety-inducing to need to go to the store, or pick up dinners, so we decided to plan out a cute picnic for us and her angel dog Chip. 🐕 We wanted to grab something quickly through a drive thru, and were craving their curly fries — beautiful potatoes, deep fried, golden brown and perfect in all of their glory — so we headed to Jack in the Box to satisfy our cravings (if there’s one thing we all need more of during this quarantine, it’s comfort food, quality time with people we love, and doing the things you WANT to do.)
We went to the Jack in the Box near us (luckily we have one down the street!) and grabbed three combos of their limited time popcorn chicken — don’t judge, I couldn’t decide between the spicy popcorn chicken and the classic popcorn chicken. Jack’s popcorn chicken combos come with a small fry and a small drink — you can pick between classic popcorn chicken and spicy popcorn chicken, both made with 100% white meat chicken. We got sweet tea and allll of the fries, both regular and curly, because obviously. 🍟 We got back home after the quickest, most convenient pick up ever, and set up the picnic in our front yard. We could’ve used the backyard, but we wanted to be able to see people walking by, wave and say hello, and feel like we were getting a bit of human interaction while also bonding and spending quality time together.
The crispy coating made these bite sized pieces perfectly crunchy and delicious, and honestly gave a whole new meaning to dippable, popcorn chicken bites. We couldn’t decide which sauces to get because all of their sauces are so good, but our favorite was the buttermilk ranch dipping sauce. The packaging was so cute and portable — it fit perfectly in our hands — and it was such a gorgeous day, so we ended up going on a walk and bringing the popcorn chicken along with us. All of the poppable fried chicken on future walks, please!
