Glazed McGuffins

Glazed McGuffin's

Glazed McGuffins are Sam and Max's favorite snacking food of all time. It is unknown exactly what the contents of them are, but it has been claimed that they are about 50% domesticated bird meat (to the point where the chicken beak content exceeded government standards) and that part of the remaining 50% is made up of additives intended to keep it preserved. According to Sam, they also have a "thick, gooey, gravy-soaked center."

Known side effects of consuming a Glazed McGuffin include a lack of a cool nature, a loss of "healthy pink glow," dizzyness, and turning of the stomach.

The Glazed McGuffin Affair

Glazed McGuffins are featured prominently in The Glazed McGuffin Affair, the fifteenth episode of The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police. In the episode, Sam and Max visit their local Slothmart grocery store to restock their Glazed McGuffin supply, only to be told that they had been banned by Kent Standit, head of the Snack Food and Drug Administration. Angered, Sam and Max go to visit Kent Standit to make him try eating a Glazed McGuffin in an attempt to get him to appreciate them enough that they will be returned to store shelves. After trying this multiple times, with increasingly forceful methods, they follow Kent as he runs to the abandoned Glazed McGuffin factory. Kent manages to trap Sam and Max, and attempts to turn them into Glazed McGuffins; however, his plan is foiled when Sam throws his badge at the emergency stop button on the machinery. Eventually, Sam and Max convince Kent to try one, and he enjoys it so much that he lifts the ban.

Recipe

Glazed McGuffins from Sam and Max:

Filling:

• 2 chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 2 broken up big florets of broccoli
• 3 TBSP mustard
• 2 Tsp of mustard seed (grounded)
• 1/8 lemon juice
• ¼ cup of water
• 2 tsp of oregano
• ⅛ cup Chopped almonds
• canned biscuits (or homemade recipe)
• Glaze
• ¾ cup of powdered sugar
• ¾ cup of honey
• ¾ cup of butter
• ½ cup of marinade

• Cut chicken breasts into small pieces, mix the mustard seed, lemon juice, oregano and water into a bowl. Put the chicken in the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for 1 hour. After an hour, pour marinated chicken and marinade into a pot, bring it at a slight above medium heat. When the chicken is looking white, put in your carrots and broccoli and let it simmer for 10 minutes. While it is simmering, flatten your biscuit dough to the right size and place in a cupcake/muffin pan. After letting it simmer, drain the chicken and veggies (Save the marinade) and spoon in the mixture into your biscuit cups. Don’t overfill. Once filled, pinch the dough well enough for it to seal and carefully pull the biscuit ball out and flip it over in the pan (pinched part on bottom). To give em a golden brown color, use some egg wash, almonds (You can put them inside the filling if you prefer) and brush that on your guffins. Bake for 16 minutes until nice and golden brown.

• (NOTE: Make glaze as the mcguffins are baking)
• For the glaze, mix in marinade, the sugar, honey and butter into a sauce pan and boil to simmer. After that’s all mixed, let the glaze cool down for a bit (the freezer should do the trick–just don’t forget it!) before glazing. Dip the cooled down Mcguffin into the glaze (top part not the whole thing of course), plate, rinse and repeat and TA-DA!
