I don't believe they were named after anyone, but there was a General Ambrose E. Burnside who had gnarly sideburns. I have heard that the facial hairstyle was named after him, but I have never seen it cited in any credible source

Name of a chicken dish that was named after a famous French military and political leader?

There are probably a dozen modern chicken dishes that are named for military leaders and other cultural notables. Kung Po Chicken and General Tso's chicken are just two examples from China. The most famous chicken dish associated with a French military and political leader is not the Italian dish Chicken Marsala but the French dish Chicken Marengo which was prepared for Napoleon at the battle of Marengo in 1800. Napoleon won the battle and had the dish prepared for him for all his future battles. There is also Poached Eggs Massena named after one of Napoleon's generals. In the coming modern parlance "eggs" are now "baby" chickens, so that fits.

Where did the word sideburns come from?

General Ambrose Everett Burnside from the Union Army wore side whiskers with a moustache, while shaving the hair on his chin. This style was known as Burnside's. The word then became burnsides, and then sideburns. Ambrose Burnside, a Union General during the civil war, sported a ustache and interesting sidebar whiskers (hair grown down in front of the ears). This style of hair was so distinctive that his name became attached to these whiskers. But there was a catch! The two syllables of his last name were reversed, and sideburn (not Burnside) became the name of these whiskers. Elvis Presley, the 1950s-1970s rock and roll legend, wore sideburns. Before long, many men were growing sideburns to look like Elvis. Too bad that even with (or without) sideburns, they could not perform as well as Elvis.
