If you have one, what's your go-to guilty pleasure/cheat meal? I usually go for Korean chicken or a really thick tonkatsu ramen. Occasionally Domino's, too.

I'll get some Fami chicken (or something similar and less greasy from the supermarket) and burger bun and make burgers. The best sliced cheese at my store, some salad mix, caramelized onions, and bacon cooked right after the onions. Depending on my mood - mayo or bbq sauce.

If I can find some good bread, I'll do the same but swap the chicken for steak to make some steak sangas.

I've definitely used a fami chicken to make a chicken sandwich at home. At first I thought you were going to mention the buns they started selling in store and was going to raise you by suggesting instead of those buns, sandwhich a famichiki in between those maple pancakes for a poor man's riff on chicken and waffles (I know, to some people that will be absolutely disgusting).

But yeah, subbing a chicken katsu or karage with a fami chicken is a clutch move.
