Confession #1: Some nights I sleep on the couch with all my clothes on, the television on all night. I realize this behavior may out me as a horrible, wasteful sloth, but I can't help it. I find it comforting.

Confession #2: I have been itching to try McDonald's latest creation, the Southern Style Chicken Sandwich, a deep-fried piece of chicken served on "a fluffy homemade-tasting biscuit." More embarrassing than this, though, is that in the last month I made two attempts to procure the sandwich but was unable to make it to McDonald's before 11:00 a.m., when they stop serving breakfast. I finally had one last week—the chicken was pretty tasty, the biscuit very dry.

I'd been considering writing something about eating chicken for breakfast this week when I received an official sign to do so: Last night I slept on the couch, TV on, and when I awoke, the first thing I saw was Mario Batali grilling chicken thighs on Good Morning America.

While I cannot in good conscience recommend going to McDonald's for a chicken breakfast, I will enthusiastically direct you to Seattle's KickN Chicken for a plate of "Tuffy's Chicken & Waffles" ($8.50, $5.25 for a half order)—fluffy, slightly salty, heavenly waffles topped with hot, freshly fried chicken wings and drummettes that bear a little crunch of cornmeal and the slight spice of cayenne. As far as I know, KickN Chicken is the only place in Seattle serving chicken and waffles—and as far as I'm concerned, there's no need for anyplace else.
