Or check with Consumer Cellular to see if they have a down-sized smarty-pants phone.

First time we'd had Church's chicken since before RH> Steve went into the Army--and no jalapeno pepper with it. We used to have a Church's locally .... but their location did them in. It was at an intersection of two busy streets - one of which could not be used for entry/exit as it was on the downslope of the viaduct under the rail corridor (6 tracks) that the propert backed up on. And the location at a traffic light meant that the entrance/exit on that road were usually blocked by motorists waiting for the light to change or zipping along trying to get through the corner before having to stop and wait. After the chicken place closed some optimist had a used car lot there for a while. But, mostly, the property has been vacant. Popeyes, meanwhile, continues to do a "land office" business in their two easily accessible locations. They have recently added a blackened chicken sandwich to their line-up. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Popeyes Blackened Chicken Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Chilies, Yield: 4 servings 2 lb Chicken breast or tenders - sliced 4 tb Butter 4 tb Oil MMMMM------------------------SEASONING------------------------------- 1 tb Smoked paprika 2 ts Salt 1 ts Black pepper 2 ts Garlic powder 1 ts Onion powder 1 ts Dried oregano 1 ts Brown sugar 1/2 ts Chipotle powder Set your oven @ 400ºF/205ºC and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil, if you have no parchment paper). Gather all of the ingredients you need. If using breasts, slice into chicken tender like strips. Add the seasoning ingredients into a bowl and stir to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Grab a large bowl and add the chicken, half of the vegetable oil (two tablespoons), and your seasoning. Mix and toss well, so that each chicken piece is completely covered. Leave for at least 20 minutes. Or anywhere up to 24 hours (it should then be covered and kept in a refrigerator). With the remaining half of the oil (2 tablespoons), add to a skillet. Once hot, add the tenders (do not overlap). Sear for around 2 minutes on each side. Do not sear for longer than that. Then place your chicken tenders onto your prepared baking sheet. Place in the center of your oven for around 10 minutes. Take out of oven and leave to cool slightly. Leave the chicken to rest for around 5 minutes. In the meantime, add the butter to the pan so it melts. Stir continuously until completely melted. Now pour the butter over the blackened chicken. Your chicken is now ready to serve. Enjoy! If you’d like to air fry your chicken instead of baking, do not sear the chicken. Just place the chicken tenders into a heated air fryer (375ºF/190ºC) for around 8-10 minutes. Be sure to check the chicken often to ensure it doesn’t overcook. RECIPE FROM: https://aniasvibrantkitchen.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
