Chick-fil-A's CEO Dan Cathy turned his chicken chain into to a political lightning rod by insinuating same-sex marriage would be "inviting God's judgment on our nation." It's inspired boycotts and a run on their stores alike.

Kansas City rapper Mac Lethal, whose pancake flippin' "Look At Me Now" clip recently made him the go-to MC for viral videos involving fast rapping and food preparation, decided to speak out on the issue, too, by giving out a homemade recipe for Chick-fil-A sandwiches in rap form. The video is below, as well as our conversation with him about it. Go ahead and try this at home!

When did you first hear about Chick-fil-A not being the warmest of companies toward homosexuals?

In 2008-2009? It's actually a pretty old issue. I'm surprised that it took so long to receive this much controversial press.

How did you manage to crack the code about Chick-fil-A's recipe?

I tried several sandwiches with a few friends. My amazing wife [who is a chef] suggested that they brine the chicken breasts. We tested a few ways of brining it, and pickle juice tasted almost identical. Then, we tried a few other variations of the mixture until we decided to add malted milk powder. At this point, we were very close. Then, we Googled the recipe and found it online. It was pretty validating to see how close we were, save for mixing two different types of flour and adding dried mustard.

Has there been any response from Chick-fil-A?

No.

What have the Chick-fil-As in Kansas City been like since the controversy popped off?

I imagine the last ten days of profit, from Kansas City's Chic-fil-As alone, could fix the economy. Kansas City is split between two red states: Kansas and Missouri. We have the highest Evangelical population in the country outside of Colorado. This is a VERY regressive area to live in. Which is why I stay here. I get to see what America really looks like.

Which of your albums goes best with a night of homemade Chick-fil-A?

11:11 Original Sessions.

How has the response been from your longtime and new fans to this video, compared to your more recent "Your vs. You're" clip?

Traditional marriage is a sham. Some guy calls himself a priest and only knows what some fictional bible tells him about god or the imaginary jesus they made up. When the fictional events of virgin birth'n as if that really happened when there is no proof but people will fall for any dog and pony dogma just because thier not smart enough to figure truth out so denial is thier heads up thiers and god's ass as if they really know. They dont only believe they do. A priest has no power or authority to do anything but spew fiction and steal money from gullible sheep too ignorant to research the truth, question its validity w/ a critical mind, and base it on a foundation of proof,a facts. Why would gays marry in a church by some clown who says anything like a politician or a snake oil charlatan salesman. A justice of the peace has more credibility to rightfully marry straights and gays legally. Why not just go to McDonalds and let Mayor McCheese marry people straight and gay its the same thing.

If he was serious he wouldnt have rapped the recipe he is "giving away" but you know he has to make sure it goes viral for recognition.

Mosst of these big mouth, outspoken christians are in denial of thier homosexuality. Genetically in our dna we have both male and female genetics bcuz when parents have sex the entire spool of dna contains generations of male and female dna on both sides. Its scientific/evolutional fact. Whether or not he's gay is yet to determine. But the bible and Chazz the homophobic, intolerant Chick fil a chicken maascotte says that the only piece of moist meat a man should put in his mouth is the classic chicken sandwhich. EAT UP YOU GODLESS SODOMITES!!!
