Toad

I have absolutely no idea how D.Va vs Aloy will play
And Aeris will stomp Waluigi..unless rallies
Fox will at least 60% Jill
So yeah Shovel/Toad will be closest, but then again D.Va-Aloy is a mystery

And I have Toad winning

Go Waluigi i

All 4 matches are close and interesting, wow.

Second freeze and it might be accurate thanks to ToadGate

I'm doubtful Waluigi would get one, and he's a cool character so I wouldn't be too upset if he did, and I doubt the Undertale fandom is united enough 3 years later to do anything for Sans, although I do think he has enough natural strength to beat Pac-Man.

So in other words, you think Sans would 60-40 Pac-Man if he managed to avoid any anti-votes? I must say, that's an incredibly bold pick.

I wish I didn't have Sans in my bracket

I don't even remember making that pick

feeling pretty great about completely ignoring rallies when making my bracket so far
---

But a contest without rallies isn't much fan. Hope we get something at least.

Southern Fried Chicken classic Southern chicken recipe that is crunchy and crusty on the outside and juicy and flavorful on the inside; infused with spices and seasonings and soaked in buttermilk to amp its flavor. A great addition to your chicken recipe collection!

Course: Main
Cuisine: Southern
Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 400 kcal
Author: Immaculate Bites

Ingredients
1 whole chicken cut into 10 pieces
1 1/2 2 teaspoons salt adjust to preference
-1 tablespoon hot sauce
3-4 garlic crushed
2-3 teaspoons creole seasoning
Chicken Coating
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1- 1 1/2 tablespoon dried herbs Thyme, Oregano, Parsley
4 cups buttermilk
US Customary - Metric

Instructions
Place chicken in a large bowl or Large ziploc. Then seasoned with salt followed by all the crushed garlic, hot sauce and creole seasoning.

Pour buttermilk in the marinated chicken, transfer the chicken to a gallon-sized zipper-lock freezer bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, herbs and white pepper.

Remove all the marinated chicken from the buttermilk . Then dredge in flour mixture, shaking any excess flour. You may use a Ziploc bag for this process, too.

Double dip the chicken in the remaining buttermilk( add fresh buttermilk as needed) followed by the flour mixture - shake off any excess flour. Let the chicken rest for about 10-15 minutes while preparing oil. This will help the coating to stay on better.

Frying the Chicken
Heat oil in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Temperature will drop once you add chicken.

Using a tong and carefully and slowly place the chicken in the hot oil. Work in batches. Do not overcrowd the skillet.

Fry the chicken until golden brown, turning once every 10 to 20 minutes - depending on the size of the pieces. Chicken is done when it is no longer pink inside and its juices run clear. You may do a test by piercing the chicken with a fork.

Drain the chicken on paper towels and then transfer them on a wire rack. (see notes)

Repeat with remaining chicken pieces; let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
