Holy-hell, is this thing the greatest or what?

Apparently that’s what I thought when I typed but never posted about the Monarch chicken nugget on Halloween of last year. At the time I thought they’d disappear swiftly, but dining there Saturday, some of our companions had them before we arrived. So run–don’t walk–and get yourself a Monarch chicken nugget if you haven’t had one.
They consist of unctuous chicken thigh confit mixed with red bell peppers and I think a little onion that has been breaded, deep fried, and placed into a bowl of a perfectly acidic salsa verde of capers, lemon juice, oil and parsley.
So simple. So delicious.
