Dispatch air-dried chicken fillets   
Dredge through buttermilk  
Dust in rice flour.  
Duck fat, in the fryer  
Diced potatoes, dual dunks:   
Dip the cage twice into roiling lipids.  
Door Dasher, my Dasher  
Deliver me my dinner.  
Dignified, hold back from devouring:  
Dip tenders into Chipotle ranch  
Delicate, diligent, deliberate bites.  
Devour, teeth gnashing, reckless ripping.  
Diana’s Definitive Degustation:  
Decidedly decadent deep-fried delights.
