Everyone knows that Chick-Fil-A has makes an excellent chicken sandwich, they are known as the home of the “Original Chicken Sandwich”, but have you ever heard of the Chick-Fil-A Hot Brown? Did you know that some Chick-Fil-As have a secret menu?
You can’t get the secret menu at any mall food court, it’s only available at special locations. These Chick-Fil-A locations are known as Chick-Fil-A Dwarf House locations. Not only do they serve the fast-food chicken that you love, but they also have a sit down full-service restaurant as well. Here you can order steak, hamburgers, BLT sandwiches, and the beloved Chick-Fil-A hot brown that a normal fast food restaurant chain can’t match.
The original Hot Brown was created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. Who knew that years later Truett Cathy would create a small restaurant called the Dwarf Grill, he would create a version of the Hot Brown to call his own? The Dwarf Grill was later renamed The Dwarf House, which turned out to be the beginnings of Chick-Fil-A.
The original Dwarf House is open 24 hours a day, but not seven days a week. Like regular Chick-Fil-A restaurants, the Dwarf House is closed on Sundays.
After a trip to the original Chick-Fil-A location in Hapeville, Georgia, I had to try to recreate this classic at home. Now, I’d like to share my best version of this classic with you.
Chick Fil A Hot Brown
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- salt, pepper, and paprika to the taste
- 16-20 Chick-Fil-A Nuggets
- 4 strips bacon fried crispy
- 4 slices Bread Toasted
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan melt butter, whisk in flour to create a roux, cook the roux for approximately two minutes while whisking continuously.
- Stir cream and milk into the roux and cook until thick sauce forms over medium heat, stirring continuously and scraping the bottom so it doesn’t burn. Remove from heat just before it reaches a boil. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens. Add salt, pepper and paprika to taste.
- To assemble hot browns, place two slices of the toast in an oven safe dish. Arrange nuggets on each slice of toast and cover in sauce. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and place bacon on top. Place under broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
