These Guys have established that food is better when it is stuffed-and spicy! With bellies a rumblin’ they grabbed some chicken quarters and deboned the meat in order to make way for a tantalizing spicy mushroom and scallion stuffing. After pan searing and baking off the legs, These Guys sliced the legs and served them with a balsamic reduction sauce, over teriyaki soy quinoa. A side Mandarin Spinach Salad was also enjoyed at the premier tasting.
