Two wing recipes from Kyle, Austell location: "I couldn’t decide between two. I picked these because the chef is a Georgia native with a phenomenal restaurant in Atlanta called Gunshow. I have made both and each has been a crowd-favorite, depending upon dietary and ethnic preferences. I used pork belly raised by our own Ernest on his farm!"

Football Sandwiches from Dr. Chachashvili, Lawrenceville location.
12 square soft, white dinner rolls – we prefer the dinner rolls found in the deli section of your supermarket, but dinner size potato rolls will also work
6 Tablespoons of yellow mustard
36 thin slices deli peppered pastrami brisket (8 ounces)
1 pound sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
12 thin slices deli Swiss cheese (8 ounces)
Pepper
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Adjust middle rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Slice rolls horizontally. Spread 4 tablespoons mustard on the cut sides of the roll tops and bottoms. Arrange roll bottoms, cut side up and side by side, in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Fold pastrami slices in thirds; place 3 slices on each roll bottom. Divide sauerkraut among sandwiches. Fold Swiss cheese in thirds, then once in half, and place over sauerkraut. Season with pepper and cap with roll tops.
Combine butter, onion and poppy seeds in bowl. Microwave until butter is melted and onion is softened, about 1 minute. Whisk Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and remaining 2 tablespoons mustard into butter mixture until combined. Generously brush tops and edges of sandwiches with all of the butter mixture. Spoon any remaining onions and poppy seeds in bowl over sandwiches.
Cover dish with aluminum foil and let sit for 10 minutes to allow sandwiches to absorb sauce. Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake 7-9 minutes until cheese is melted around edges and tops are slightly firm.
Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve and Enjoy!

1 cup hot sauce (I prefer Crystal)
1 pound of chicken breasts

Brown chicken breasts in a pan. Let rest for 5 minutes, and then shred.
