Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities; what we've got here is a tale of two sauces. One, an aioli, combines the heat of chipotle with the acid brightness of lime. It comes correct with the crispy fried chicken, making for crunchy tang in every divine bite. Two, a vinegar-based garlic and cilantro sauce turns these workaday potatoes into spud magic. This meal lives up to every one of your Great Expectations (we're not sorry). Tip: Easier way to mince cilantro? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!
