Alright I got a lot of requests for it, so I decided today to make a video on the naked chicken chalupa from taco bell. I honestly had not had one before you guys asked for it, so I went out and bought and tried it. For those who have never had one, it’s a quote-unquote taco [I know it’s technically a chalupa] but instead of using a tortilla, the tortilla is just a chicken breast.

It was honestly ok, but I think we can definitely improve it a little, and the version I ended up with was tasty juicy, and crisp. So let’s make essentially what amounts to a chicken sandwich sans the bun. However, doing so will give me a chance to experiment with some meat glue.
