I HAVE BEEN COOKING PRETTY MUCH MY ENTIRE LIFE, BUT MY IDEA FOR CMT CAME DURING MY TIME IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY. I WAS IN THE BARRACKS ONE DAY AND HUNGER HIT ME LIKE A MORTAR ATTACK. I COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO GO DOWN TO THE MESS HALL AND EAT MORE SLOP. I DECIDED TO GO TO THE COMMISSARY AND PICK UP AN ELECTRIC SKILLET, A TUB OF LARD, A PACK OF CHICK WINGS AND SOME OF THE SEASONINGS I REMEMBERED MY MOM USING BACK IN THE DAY. I PLACED MY GROCERIES IN MY PAC AND PROCEEDED TO DOUBLE TIME MARCH BACK TO MY BARRACKS. AS I MARCHED A CADENCE REPEATED IN MY HEAD UNTIL I BEGAN TO SING IT OUT LOUD
" THEY SAY THAT IN THE ARMY THE COFFEE'S MIGHTY FINE
IT LOOKS LIKE MUDDY WATER AND TASTE LIKE TURPENTINE"
THEY SAY THAT IN THE ARMY THE CHOW IS MIGHTY FINE
A CHICKEN JUMPED OFF THE TABLE AND STARTED MARKING TIME"
"OHHH LORD I WAN TO GO BUT THEY WONT LET ME GO HOOOOOMMMEEE!!! HEY!"
ONCE I GOT BACK TO THE ROOM I PROCEEDED TO MAKE WHAT WAS DESCRIBED BY THE REST OF MY BARRACKS FRIENDS AS THE BEST CHICKEN EVER!!!!!!!
MY STORY
It all began one snowy day in the cold Alaska Army barracks....
