Certified stupid Eggnog flavored chicken

Post image

Seasonal chicken we got at my work, they are labeled as "holiday spiced" but the box we got them in says eggnog flavored. They taste vaguely of cinnamon, idk why anyone thought this was better than regular chicken.

This is a holiday spiced roast chicken recipe to understand what it would taste like, https://georgesfarms.com/recipes/holiday-spiced-roast-chicken/

For reference it has less sugar in it than something like Orange Chicken from panda, or any of those super sweet sauced chickens, like: General Tso's, seasame chicken, pon pon chicken, etc.

OP alleges the boxes said Eggnog flavor but magically didn't have proof for that. But Holiday Spice chicken is delicious when its properly made and as previously mentioned not nearly as sweet as "american" chinese food.

Yea the recipes for this look like they would taste great.

I don't know why OP would say it was eggnog flavored. That sounds weird.

Although, fried chicken is AWESOME if you soak it overnight in buttermilk before breading and frying it.

Eggnog might have a place there.

If it’s a ‘Work’ thing like OP works somewhere that these chickens get prepared/stocked, then the box was probably originally for something else (maybe Eggnog Flavoured Cookies or the like), and just used to move the Chickens around for convenience.

OP takes a glance, gets confused, and the rest is weird history.
