Chicken Mole Frostano (Fancy Spicy Chicken Sandwich & Frosty)
by Erik of Fancy Fast Food, by suggestion of Ray Vazquez (and as seen on ABC’s Nightline)

Ingredients:

* 1 Spicy Chicken Sandwich
* 1 small chili
* 1 Chocolate Fudge Frosty Shake
* packets of hot sauce and ketchup
* organic mexican cilantro (for garnish and a touch of irony)

Disassemble the Spicy Chicken Sandwich into its elements, saving the lettuce and tomato for garnish. Skin the chicken breast filet, but save some of the spicy breading. Grind the breading down to a powder in a food processor; you will use it as a spice for the sauce later.

While the word mole (rhymes with “olay,” not “bowl”) is merely Mexican Spanish for “sauce” or “concoction,” it has come to be associated with the classic chocolate-based spicy sauce from the Mexican state of Puebla. We will start by using a tomato base from the chili. Using a strainer or a rubber spatula to hold back the solid ingredients from the chili container, pour tomato sauce into a small saucepan. For the chocolate flavor, add about six tablespoons of the Chocolate Fudge Frosty into the mix. Add a few pinches of your pulverized breading spice, then add Hot Chili seasoning sauce and/or ketchup to your liking. Mix it all up under a medium heat, then let it simmer so all the contrasting flavors get fused together.

Take the lettuce from the sandwich — whether it is limp or crispy — and place it in the center of a fancy white plate. Place the skinned chicken breast on top of this bed of lettuce, then generously spoon your mole frostano sauce on top. Garnish this with chopped tomato (from the sandwich), and some chopped Mexican cilantro — the certified organic kind, if you want to add that extra touch of irony. Serve and enjoy! ¡Olé!
