This chicken will punch you right in the mouth. Seriously. And on the way down, it will kick you in the esophagus. And finally gonna kung foo roundhouse your gut…leaving your mouth with a burning desire for more. Now if that sounds like your kinda mayhem meal…or your redneck fellas kinda dinner, then procede.
Welcome to Fight Club Kitchen.
First, the rules.
The first rule of Fight Club Kitchen is that you do not talk while eating Tyler Durden Chicken.
The second rule of Fight Club Kitchen is that you do not talk while eating Tyler Durden Chicken.
Third rule of Fight Club Kitchen: if someone yells “help!”, goes limp, or taps out, the meal is over.
Fourth rule: only one cook.
The fifth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club Kitchen, you have to try this recipe.
Here are the ingredients.
You don’t need measuring cups or measuring spoons. That is against what Fight Club Kitchen is all about. All you need is chicken, garlic, butter, orange juice, some kind of seasoning blend, and cayenne red pepper.
Chunk your chicken.
Melt a couple pats of butter over Med High heat.
Throw your chicken in.
Pour your orange juice until it comes up to around the level of the chicken. Go buck wild here. Be crazy. Don’t measure…just pour.
Crush or chop or mince the whole clove of garlic. Throw it in. Add about 40 shakes of the Season all. Add about 20 shakes of the cayenne red pepper. That’s right…I said “shakes”.
Keep stirring. Keep cooking. It will go down till there is no liquid…just googly moogly.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds (this is totally optional…and frankly I don’t know that Tyler Durden would approve). I serve it with plain white rice…to extinguish the tastebud fires…and green peas (because they are my kick-a boyfriend’s favorite).
Serves 2 grown Fight Club rednecks….or one and his wife 🙂
Some might say that this is just ‘spicy orange chicken’ but let me assure you…it is not the same to men. Associating a kick-butt movie character is very appealing to the male population. For a female it would be like the word “chocolate” or “sale” or “spa”. See, you immediately perked up, right? Well the same goes for men.
And when your man asks you who you would fight…remember one little name. William Shatner.
ok, i’m a new reader to the blog here, and i must say that i find your writing highly amusing. i’m not sure i have the guts to eat this, but i’m sure the hubby would appreciate if i made it for him. will give it a whirl.
Ok first you make me jealous of your awesome C&B shopping spree and now this. My mouth literally watered. Literally. Usually that only happens when I’m face to face with a pickle in real life.
Tonight I fight my first bout in “Fight Club Kitchen”. All rules will be followed. William Shatner beware!!
This looks sooo yummy. I doubt I could get my small children to eat it, but I’m still pretty tempted to make it anyway.
Thank you for sharing! What an awesome recipe!
Y-U-M! Just how spicy is this tasty little dish? It LOOKS good, but afraid it might put my tastebuds on fire!
So you guys are a little worried. Let me give you the low-down.
Just a word of warning – this chicken dish is not for the timid. However, I can tell you that the hot factor is not jalapeno hot…it has more of a slow afterheat. If you like spicy food…then give this a whirl. If you don’t like the big hotness, then you can cut out the cayenne pepper. I can’t promise yumminess since I have never tried it…but if you guys do, please please please let me know how it turns out 🙂

Chuck Norris would approve. Then he’d roundhouse kick you in the face b/c it’s so good. That’s just the way Chuck says thanks.
I’m totally going to try this recipe, thx!
Looks SO YUMMY! And easy to make. I’m going to make it tomorrow. Hubby will love it! Thanks!!!
This sounds like something even I could make! Sounds yummy.
haha… katie, I just love your wittiness. my hubby loves fight club, chicken, william schatner (aka The Shat), and the little chuck norris-ism in one of the previous comments. Maybe i’ll have to try making your crazy hot chicken for him… But I noticed something missing from your plate that should never be missing from katie bower’s plate. BACON! I’m sure it could somehow be incorporated to this recipe, yes?
that looks great – i love spicy!
I made chicken like this once- but didn’t simmer away so much of the liquid. I like you idea. I just might have to try it.
This is seriously amazing. After I made it, my husband asked me how many times a week we could have it? Oh, and good call on naming it something kick ass. He is totes going to brag to all his friends today that his wife made him Tyler Durden Chicken last night. Thank you thank you thank you!
Question: how long till it cooks down? I may have done something wrong because it has been boiling for a while now, not sure it will cook down.
Kimberly – crank that sucker on medhigh or high and it should happen in under thirty minutes. Keep stirring it too for maximum cookdown action. Good Luck!

I really don’t think your head is THAT large. It goes with your ass, if that helps. Totally kidding, i can’t even See your ass…FROM SPACE! HA HA HA. But really. I like a girl with a sense of humor about her self. My GF has little to none. Maybe SHE could join your club. Her AND her friend. Still not getting it?
Nice recipe. Keep bloggin’
Niiiice Jason…good one. My noggin does kinda match the junk in my trunk…or your mama’s trunk 🙂 Yes…I went there. Good luck breakin in your GF – it took my family many years to beat me down into humourous submission. Just don’t stop tryin…and feed the wounded this chicken dish – it’ll help heal her, I promise 🙂

Just tried this last night and LOVED it. Even my picky husband truely loved it. I added only about half of the called for seasoned salt and cayenne pepper, thankfully. Half was burning my girly little tastebuds! Thanks for sharing. Cant wait to try more!
Thanks for the recipe!! I wasn’t too sure about the whole “not measuring thing”, but it turned out great!!
I made this last night and it was awesome(left overs for lunch – yay!). I added a few shakes of ginger too!
are we talking whole “head” of garlic or just one “clove” of garlic? do tell b/c i have to try this chicken!
Sorry Erika…I guess it was a whole head. Although sometimes I make this recipe without fresh garlic on hand…so I use a teaspoon to scoop out the minced stuff in a jar…it’s about that much either way. I LOVE garlic though…so feel free to modify it if garlic isn’t your thing 🙂

Hi! Love the blog :). Just wanted to let you know that I made this chicken last night and it was superb! I tweaked the recipe a bit to give it more of a Chinese flavor– I added about a tbsp of minced ginger and 2-3 tbsp soy, and I cut way back on the seasoning salt and cayenne. We ate it with home made chow mein. Mmm good!
Awesome – I’ll have to give your version a try 🙂

Hi Katie! I am new to your blog (by way of John + Sherry) and have enjoyed reading it the past several days. Just wanted to tell you I made this chicken dish last night and it was deeeeelish! My husband really loved it (sold)! I didn’t change a thing except used a little oil with the butter to heat – butter can burn sometimes. I’m going to try your Beer Shrimp tonight – the Cheesecake Brownies on the weekend. And I absolutely love your photography! Thanks for blogging!
So I know that cooking is not necessarily your thing (totally love to read your photog and design posts!), but I love your recipes the most! Because cooking isn’t necessarily my thing either! Wish you would share more recipes, I have all of your’s book marked to reference often!
