It’s here. The most requested Mess Hall recipe in existence - often replicated, never truly duplicated. The almighty Chicken Crispito, superstar of the Great Chicken Crispito Riot of 2006. We decided to give a copycat recipe our best shot. Attention All Cadets, today for lunch we will be having Chicken Crispitos.

In response to re-sharing our recipes for Spicy Chicken Patty, Coooooorn Chowder and Congo Bar, we fielded a request for a recipe for another Mess Hall classic - the Blueberry Scone. If this were truly a “copy cat” USMA recipe, we’d have to provide guidance for how to produce the driest scones on Earth. However, we figured we would spare you the pain of that. Instead, below you’ll find a simple guide to the most perfect blueberry scone. It may not conjure the same nearly-choking-it’s-so-dry-and-crumbly dining experience you may recall from your cadet days, but we hope it will trigger some positive nostalgia (or least an enjoyable snack) nonetheless.
