Chicken-n-Beer is the third studio album by American rapper Ludacris. It was 3 0z chicken on October 7, 2003, by Disturbing tha Peace and Def Jam Recordings.
Ludacris frequently employs a fast-paced flow on Chicken-n-Beer, whilst often suffusing the words he raps with humorous punchlines and innuendos. 282,000 copies in its first week in the United States, debuting at number 3 on the Billboard 200. Unlike Ludacris’ previous releases, Chicken-n-Beer achieved reasonable commercial success outside the United States. It became Ludacris’ first album to chart in Australia, where it debuted and peaked at number 98, then exited the chart after a single week. Upon its release, Chicken-n-Beer received generally positive reviews from music critics. Ludacris is one of the most liquid MCs in the game today.
He varies his flows with such dexterity and has so much musicality in his tones that his mouth truly seems like an instrument. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four, perhaps a Southern Busta Rhymes, a guy who started as an Atlanta radio DJ but whose third album finds him part of the hip-hop establishment. However, some felt the adult humour displayed on many the songs was excessive, and detracted from Ludacris’ technical abilities. Credits for Chicken-n-Beer adapted from Allmusic.

Veal or pork cordon bleu is made of veal or pork pounded thin and wrapped around a slice of ham and a slice of cheese, breaded, and then pan-fried or baked. The French term cordon bleu is translated as “blue ribbon”. The origins of cordon bleu as a schnitzel filled with cheese are in Brig, Switzerland, probably about the 1940s, first mentioned in a cookbook from 1949. There are many variations of the recipe involving cutlet, cheese, and meat. A popular way to prepare chicken cordon bleu is to butterfly cut a chicken breast, place a thin slice of ham inside, along with a thin slice of a soft, easily melted cheese. The chicken breast is then rolled into a roulade, coated in bread crumbs, and then deep-fried. Other common variations include omitting the bread crumbs, wrapping the ham around the chicken, or using bacon in place of ham.
