ATLANTA—Urging customers to eat the book cover to cover, a new diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative introduced Thursday by fast food chain Chick-fil-A replaced all chicken with copies of How To Be An Anti-Racist. “In an effort to elevate historically marginalized voices in our country, we have swapped out our famous fried chicken fillets for copies of Ibram X. Kendi’s seminal book How To Be An Anti-Racist,” said CEO Andrew Cathy, emphasizing that the nonfiction bestseller that mixes elements of social commentary with memoir to shine a light on the state of race in modern America would still be soaked in the restaurant’s signature pickle brine, seasoned to perfection, pressure cooked in 100% refined peanut oil, and served on a toasted, buttered bun for that same great taste. “We understand how it was problematic to use only white-meat chicken in our products, and for that we are sorry. But with this new menu item, we are challenging the traditional ideas of what it means to be a sandwich in this country.” At press time, Chick-fil-A was criticized as “woke” after following up the sandwich’s release with White Fragility nuggets, which are served with a Ta-Nehisi Coates–inspired Between The Polynesian Sauce And Me.
Money Is Tight This Week So Here’s A Recipe For Five Tortilla Chips And Ketchup In A Bowl
It’s Friday, and I’m watching my favorite romantic comedy again. It’s the one with the English bloke with floppy hair who can’t quite seem to say the right thing. He’s starring opposite the quirky journalist who is willing to do anything for the assignment, maybe even fall in love along the way. It’s just nice to watch charm and power shift back and forth between two people in conversation. The “will they, won’t they” of it all. The awkwardness? The tension. I can watch it over and over again because the film is short—just a minute or two long.
My favorite rom-com of the moment is not a Nora Ephron or Richard Curtis gem, nor can it be found in Turner Classic Movies’ deep vault. Not yet, at least. It’s a 90-second clip of rising celebrity interviewer Amelia Dimoldenberg flirting her way through a buttonholing of prestige actor and erstwhile Spider-Man Andrew Garfield on the Golden Globes red carpet last month. And it’s actually a sequel. She and Garfield spoke on camera at the GQ Men of the Year Awards two months prior. (Also very fun viewing!)
Over video from her London home, Dimoldenberg told me that she can’t say whether the clip is or is not an accurate representation of British flirting. (Writer Louis Staples taxonomized it as such on Twitter after it went viral.) It’s the only kind of flirting she knows. Then again, she’s British and Garfield is British, so maybe there’s something to it.
“At one point I say, ‘Well, I’m not even interested anyway,’ or something like that, which I think is very much like something that we do here. You are towing this line where you don’t really know: Are you interested? Are you not?” she said. “Like I’m not gonna reveal too much of myself to you, but I’m smiling the whole time, so what’s happening?”
Sounds complicated, but if anyone knows how to navigate this kind of situation, it’s Dimoldenberg. The comedian has made a career out of the type of flirting that runs headfirst toward the limn of cringe. The Golden Globes red carpet was a side gig; her day job is producing and hosting Chicken Shop Date, the first show in a surprisingly crowded genre that turns eating chicken with celebrities into deep-fried gold.
“The romance element and the dating element is something that’s intrinsic to my style, and works really well. I’m always just waiting for someone else to steal this thing that I’m doing,” she said. “It just hasn’t happened yet.”
The show, which now draws between a couple million to 15 million views per episode, started as a print column well over a decade ago; Dimoldenberg wrote for a Westminster youth club magazine made by local teens, and she rightly judged it would work better in a visual medium, migrating it over to YouTube eventually. The format hasn’t changed much since it launched on the platform in 2014, though the guests have gone from London-specific to more general interest. She began by taking out the city’s deep roster of grime artists, from Ghetts to AJ Tracey, and in the last few years, she’s “dated,” to use the show’s vocabulary, Ed Sheeran, Keke Palmer, the 1975’s Matt Healy, Rosalía, and Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya. Despite Dimoldenberg’s ability to pull ever more famous faces, she is still just a girl eating nuggets in front of celebrities, asking them to fall in love with her.
Chicken Shop Date turned Dimoldenberg into a rising comedic star, if not yet a household name, and she’s beginning to enjoy that—or at least process it. When we spoke, she’d just celebrated her 29th birthday by taking 20 good friends to the English countryside. “Sometimes people will ask, like, ‘How do you take in success?’” she said. “I think a really good way to do that is by giving to your people, like your friends and your family. In those moments is where I actually take in the good things that have been happening.”

How to Make Orange Chicken
First, I lightly coat the chicken pieces in corn starch to ensure a crispy exterior without breading or deep frying. We brown just the outside with a little oil, and then add the sauce.
The Orange Chicken sauce is made of orange juice, orange marmalade, soy sauce, garlic and a few other tasty ingredients. I like adding a bit of orange marmalade because it makes the sauce extra sticky and it really clings to the chicken!
If you like things extra spicy, feel free to add an extra pinch or two of red pepper flakes — I like to keep things pretty mild so the kids will enjoy it too!
How to Make Crockpot Orange Chicken
This recipe can easily be adapted to the crockpot! Here’s how:
Coat and brown the chicken in a frying pan according to the original instructions.
Add the chicken and the sauce mixture to the crockpot, and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through. It couldn’t be easier!
This is a great way to prepare orange chicken for a potluck because it is so easy to keep warm without overcooking. And I guarantee it will be one of the first things to disappear!

Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and add 3 tablespoons corn starch, salt and pepper. Stir to coat.
Heat a large pan over high heat and add oil (add more oil if needed to coat the bottom of your pan).
Add chicken to the pan and cook over high heat, turning once, just until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, make the Orange Chicken sauce. Whisk together the marmalade, juice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, chicken broth and 2 tablespoons corn starch.
Once chicken is browned, reduce heat to medium and add the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through (165° F minimum), about 10 minutes.
