Thank you for joining me here today—I’m back again with another episode of crispy chicken thighs (this one inspired by anchovy lobbyist Alison Roman).

The meals I make most often are usually the ones I forget to document for Worthy Pause. I’ve made this sausage skillet thing many, many times, but it never even crossed my mind that it might be a good recipe to share here until the other day when my daughter was scarfing it down like she hadn’t eaten all day (note: she hadn’t eaten all day because she had refused all the other foods).

Kerala Fried Chicken, inspired by Asha Gomez and the fried chicken episode of Ugly Delicious—well-worth the terror that is deep-frying at home!

How did the name of this recipe get so long? All those words seemed relevant at the time... and still do, I guess. The recipe itself, however, is extremely short. It's only two steps and three ingredients—can't beat that. 

It's for when you want buffalo chicken wings, but in a socially-acceptable-at-lunch sort of way. 

One of my all-time favorite ways to cook dinner is getting a new, Greek riff.
