Happy Cinco de Mayo! Celebrate with a Chicken Thingamajig with a Side of Whatchamacallit
 Many, many, years ago, in Tucson, Arizona, a cook accidentally dropped a burrito into a deep fryer. Since it was too late to save, she let it fry, and decided to have it for lunch. When one of the other cooks asked her what it was, she called it a "chimichanga," which in Spanish translates to "thing-a-ma-jig". Yes, with one serendipitous splash into the fryer, the mighty chimichanga was born. While traditionally deep-fried, this video recipe, produced for my About.com American Foods site, is a home version that uses the oven for a much easier and lower-fat variation. The great thing about chimichangas is they can be filled with almost anything – even vegetables if you must. After seeing the video, I hope you give some of these thingamajigs a try. If you do, I'd also love to hear what kind of fillings you used. Enjoy! |
