Hello, fellow Americans! If you’re looking to leave a legacy in your kitchen, then we urge you to triumphantly give Presidential Chicken your vote for dinner tonight. Why should you trust this humble, brilliant, man-of-the-people poultry dish? We’re glad you asked; we’d be happy to share our delicious campaign with you. First of all, these thighs bring a crispiness that we the people love dearly. Oh, and that creamy, cheesy, spinach-filled sauce is rich, and we know that’s what we all aspire to be… (with joy and happiness that is, of course.) Finally, the ingredients are simple, and you likely already have them in your (presidential) cabinet. See? There’s really no debate needed to convince you to give Presidential Chicken your (presidential) seal of approval. If you choose to make it, we’re sure you’ll be recommended for Commander-in-Chief of the kitchen, and that’s pretty important. Thank you for letting us address this. Now, go, enjoy, and prosper!
