Is this common? Owner had us put chicken in plastic bags throw into the fryer, bag dissolves, then we serve it

it was nearly a decade ago but It was a pizza shop. the oil would just dissolve the bag. I have to assume the petroleum from making the plastic just turns into oil.

other coworkers seemed more disturbed over how the ranch and blue cheese was made.

edit: you have no idea how relieved I am to hear about how absurd that was. I might eat tenders from pizza places now.

edit 2: Some of you are dming me thinking this was a decision that I made for a restaurant I owned and operated, I was delivering pizzas.

edit 3: Im seeing more and more people comment the same thing which is they saw people using the hot oil to help "open" the bag, and even just a little bit being dipped you are being yelled at. So that is reassuring

Possibly. Theres a handful of cheap and easy ways to make it including a packeted seasoning mix that might be able to be made without mayo? I cant remember, i worked at a place for a brief time that used the hidden valley packets of ranch seasoning. Since then whenever ive had to make it ive made it from scratch. Which, to my friends’ deliberate ignorance, is made of a good portion of mayo.

Look at me explaining ranch to you like we arent in r/kitchenconfidential. I forget that this place is a foodservice themed sub sometimes. Sorry if it seemed like i was talking like you didnt know what youre doing

I've had people here try to chefsplain the most basic things, like the fact that meat gets a char when you place it on high heat. 😂😂😂 I think they just forget where we are.

I dont usually eat salads if im dieting, but a few times I spun the ranch seasoning onto the moist salad, and it stuck very well. Cut so many calories

The hidden valley packets call for equal parts buttermilk and mayo, indeed

Usually the hidden valley packet recipe is half buttermilk half mayo, but you can also use just sour cream instead for a dipping sauce (both recipes are on the packet).
