CHEETING
Fried Chicken Meets Cheetos
There was a time when getting home from school meant Cheetos were about to render your fingers a radioactive
shade of orange. Well, the Cheeto is back—this time as the breading on deep-fried, Taiwanese-style
chicken. Yes, your fingers will be left orange. No, fried chicken will never be the same.
