Cracker Crumb Chicken

When I was a kid, I was extremely fascinated by dinosaurs. I would read all about them, go to Science World to learn about them and talk to everyone who would listen (maybe even people who didn't listen) about them.

So when I heard that scientists have found ample evidence to prove modern birds are descendants of dinosaurs, I was pretty excited. It was as though I was sort of living with dinosaurs. And chickens? Eating dinosaurs. Take that Jurassic Park: I am getting you dinosaurs back for eating some of my kind.

To see how close chickens and dinosaurs are, a new found hero of mine named Jack Horner is planning on creating a dinosaur by reverse-evolving a chicken. Think about that next time you bite into a piece of chicken.

 Smoking hot, it must be good

What you'll need:

-2 large boneless chicken breasts
-2 eggs
