Frozen chicken nuggets with sliced cucumber and baby carrots is literally the sort of food my mom made when I had friends over for playdates when I was six. Like, it's a perfectly acceptable meal for kids, but holy crap.
Aunt Sandy should've just picked up a cup of popcorn chicken at KFC. It would have been piping hot and she wouldn't have had to come home and do all that hard work of turning on her oven and reheating a frozen product.
SHE'S USING FROZEN POPCORN CHICKEN. I mean, bless her, she's cutting her vegetables and using fresh lime, but... Frozen popcorn chicken. And she acts like it's something exotic while introducing it. Oh, Aunt Sandy, never change.
I just imagine poor Auntie Sandy at Food Network parties with all the other Network stars, it must be so embarrassing. Don't get me wrong, I love Sandra Lee, she has brought so much joy into my life with her unintentionally hilarious "cooking" videos XD
She would kill it if the mystery ingredients were: 1/ the cheese packet from Mac & cheese 2/ a tub of cool whip 3/ a can of crushed Pringles 4/ a can of cream of mushroom soup Rofl 😅😅😂
Aunt Sandy is the best. Love it when she comes to our house for a visit. She continuously smokes Marb reds, gulps a fifth of Vodka and always flirts with daddy!
Thank you Sandra for teaching me how to make an improperly washed salad with frozen popcorn chicken. I love having the dirt and freezer burned taste in my salads!
I mean would I eat this? Sure. It's an easy meal to make after work and the popcorn chicken probably tastes fine. But this is not cooking, it's assembly. This is school cafeteria food for when the lunch ladies are feeling burnt out. I can't believe they greenlit this recipe to be broadcast on TV.
People talking shit but if sandra was my mom growing up I know life would have been dope as hell. She always was sauced and cooking good food and having a good time
That woman has no business using a knife. Every video I've seen (and there are many because it's like an accident you can't stop looking) she demonstrates all the wrong ways to use a knife. Seriously, I'm convinced the Food Network considers this a comedy rather than a cooking show. There is nothing wrong with using some packaged foods, everyone does it. It's the complete disregard for waste and cost that is infuriating.
"A salad dressing to tASS my salad in" NO WAY. YOU ARE GOING TO TOSS THE SALAD? IN DRESSING? Wow, glad you mentioned it or I wouldn't have known what the hell to do with my salad dressing.
orasis OK, I will repeat a comment that I made about a couple years ago: The reason why she is using frozen ingredients with fresh, is because the show is called Semi-Homemade (and vice versa). *Not ALL the ingredients in her recipe will be fresh, hence the Semi-Homemade.*
she isn't even teaching people how to cook!! she just buys everything from a store and adds her own seasonings. I'm 16 and i cook more homemade foods then her!
tall Lett Keep on trucking. We need more teenagers like you. (Just realize, darlin, that she’s never been a cook. She wanted a “cooking” show. And she got it because she had connections.) Please tell me you watch Anne Burrell. That woman can teach.
Why is it when Ina Garten makes a salad, it looks elegant and like you need a show for it and when she makes one, she gives you instructions on opening a bag of carrots.
Are Sandra Dee's videos comedic, because they crack me me up! "Best fried chicken salad in the world"? It's got to be hard to make a salad thats 99% artificial ingredients.
she said "frozen product" within the first 20 seconds of the recipe. proof that this has no place on a network that dares call itself the "FOOD" network.
"Think paper, think plastic, anything disposable. Don't use tupperware and re-usable utensils, for god sakes. The mark of a successful meal is how much shit you throw away!"
She loves using premixed spice blends on already bottled or prepared products. Barbecue blend in ranch dressing. Vanilla in a can of already made cake frosting. That isn’t “semi homemade” that’s “semi disgusting”.
People like to mock Aunty Sandusky, but to me she presents to most realistic type of cooking ie mixing store bought with home cooking. Is it a bit OTT? Yes definitely, but I personally love a frozen chicken nugget with a crunchy salad if I can’t be bothered to cook. Y’all leave Miss Sandy alone😅😅😅😅😅
"maybe a carrot or two... or three" woah take it easy there Sandra
Michael Persico you didn’t need to be gross but. you were.
@Michael Persico you're disgusting.
😂😂😂
“...love these”
That was by far, the most depressing plate of food I have ever seen. But I doubt it will hold the title for long, I'm on a Sandra Lee binge.
Sator Thanks for teaching us how to put food on a plate. Before I watched this video I was just throwing it on the floor.
Sator did you see her Kwanzaa cake?!😂
Me too! The sad part was I watched this during my college years for ides of what to cook!
@0:38 did she just read a recipe card for "salad?"
Haha! Me too I can't stop watching her complex cooking vids 🤣
Thank you Sandra Lee for teaching me how to put chicken nuggets and baby carrots on a plate
Nadi B not just any baby carrots, but 3 baby carrots
Frozen chicken nuggets with sliced cucumber and baby carrots is literally the sort of food my mom made when I had friends over for playdates when I was six.

Lmfao
You have no idea how disappointed I was when I saw her pull out her frozen fried chicken
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Those tomatoes need at LEAST one more cut to them.
Typewriter Error nah lol
yeah lmfao
They just need about 2 shots of vodka.
@@traviss6564 Pizza restaurants that offer salads...
Might not hurt to core them as well.
Little, thin lettuce but gigantic tomato wedges and uncut carrots. Oh my...
Aunt Sandy should've just picked up a cup of popcorn chicken at KFC. It would have been piping hot and she wouldn't have had to come home and do all that hard work of turning on her oven and reheating a frozen product.
It's so chunky I can't deal
LDK
It’s semi homemade. She did a great job.
Sandra Lee, using a fresh lime and cutting a tomato? WHO IS THIS IMPOSTER AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SANDRA LEE???
LMAO
Stop!!!
"lil' pupcorn chekin"
I can’t get over how large the tomato slices are 😂😂😂😂
SHE'S USING FROZEN POPCORN CHICKEN.

SageOfTheWest I think you meant to say pupcorn chicken.
I mean, do you want dinner or not?

Are you kidding? She's laughing in the corner with a gimlet. Getting paid beaucoup bucks with 1/5 the work the others are doing.
I wonder if she made it to the Thanksgiving and Holiday specials where chefs would collab on recipes.
Would love to watch!
@@aveuch yep right beside chef boyardee
Remember guys, if you're traveling, don't use fine China. Thanks Auntie Sandra.
That's not a dressing, that's a fucking BBQ flavored gravy.
I would love to see her on Chopped or Cutthroat Kitchen
Or Food Network Star
It's amazing to see her chop at all let alone be on a show named after it
She would kill it if the mystery ingredients were:
1/ the cheese packet from Mac & cheese
2/ a tub of cool whip
3/ a can of crushed Pringles
4/ a can of cream of mushroom soup
Rofl 😅😅😂
@@jaromanderson2877 she has zero knife skills
Holy shit, this woman knows how to reheat frozen chicken tenders. GIVE HER A SHOW ON FOOD NETWORK.
I legit thought she would at least make the fried chicken when I opened this
So she's teaching you how to put lettuce on a plate. Thanks, Sandra.
PrincessPanFry queen
Sandra shaving the cucumber and "making it prettier" is probably the most creative thing she did on this show.
Well done, Aunty Sandy. Why, with skills like this, you could be a Subway sandwich assembler!
WHY DOES SHE MATCH HER DECORATIONS. SHE'S A ROBOT ALIEN, I SWEAR
that almost looks like the salad that spongebob tried to make when pearl took over the krusty krab
Lmao
Aunt Sandy is the best. Love it when she comes to our house for a visit. She continuously smokes Marb reds, gulps a fifth of Vodka and always flirts with daddy!
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
0:39 she needed the recipe card for ranch, BBQ rub, and “a little bit a lime”!?!
The way she dribbled that dressing looked like the shits you'd probably get after eating this frozen/dried monstrosity
She washed the lettuce with the butt on? It's not even gonna wash properly on the inside.
Probably her first time buying lettuce that wasn't pre-washed and chopped in a sealed bag. 😜
man i miss this dumpster fire of a cooking show. i'm glad to see the clips are still here CesCooking
WHY does she have a standing mixer in the background?? She doesn't even make proper food
Well, that's why her show is called Semi-Homemade: Some fresh ingredients, some not. (some fresh is better than no fresh)
+John Lee That wasn't even what they were talking about
I've seen kitchenaid stand mixers in many a non cooks home, & it mainly serves as a "Statement piece" (purely decorative, lol.)
Thank you Sandra for teaching me how to make an improperly washed salad with frozen popcorn chicken. I love having the dirt and freezer burned taste in my salads!
I am high as fuck and will eat literally anything when I'm high.
Her recipes are the exception.
"Pupcorn chucken."
Drunk.
Cocktail time!
Seriously. She even said “pop” when it came to the tomatoes going in the dish. Those “two shots” of vodka are not helping here.
I thought I was the only one who noticed the dog chicken. 😂🐶 Crazy Ho...Semi Ho-Made, I mean. 😅
Dinner party eh? Yeah for the people at work you don't like.
I laughed for 5 minutes straight lmfao omg I'm dead
Bahaha!! 🤣
holy shit that's a lot of bbq rub.
Ikr?!
Her "striped effect" just looks like she forgot to peel the rest of the cucumber
I'm glad the romaine lettuce looks like lace. I LOVE eating lace!
How the fuck do you even eat tomato slices that big?
An episode of Barefoot Contessa with Sandra Lee as a guest star would be a hoot to watch.
Oh Lort 🤣🤣🤣
"...it's as easy as using this frozen product."
She can't even call it friend chicken, she refers to it as frozen product. Wow.
Probably because as defined as the FDA, legally, it isn't chicken!
I could have bought the popcorn chicken from KFC and a bag of pre-made salad and had this video done in 20 seconds. Where's MY tv show Food Network??
I don't know why I expected her to fry her own chicken, but I clearly doubted her laziness.
@mommymode1985 lol I had to watch it all. I just had to see if anything was worse than that cake.
Be nice, she doesn't know how...lol
Everything is always prepackaged. If water came in a can, she would use it
Those are some HUGE chunks of tomatoes for a salad. Shouldn't they be bite-sized? ಠ_ಠ
TheStateofDreaming Life is short. Smash them ‘matoes in yo mouth. *whoops and smears BBQ “dressing” on the wall*
Can we use canned cucumber ?
2:58 that one carrot was trying to escape
All I learned from this is that if I go up to the crudités dish at a party, I can make a salad from it.
I didn't know how to reheat frozen chicken, nor how to place it on a plate of greens. Thank you.
Eh.
Fresh limes, I never saw that coming.
I can’t believe no one comments about her literally reading a recipe off a label before she starts throwing this together
I always loved her show she always made good drinks and really nice tablescapes😤🥰God bless you woman 🎉🎉
What the hell is "pupcorn chicken"? I've heard of "popcorn chicken".
popcorn chicken for puppies. she was drunk and got it mixed up lol
***** I wonder if she found those canned and frozen too! Lol!
lol!!
@@christianryan6980 I'm not sure my dog would eat this...
anybody who actually needs to "semi-cook" does not need to be taught how to
I mean would I eat this? Sure. It's an easy meal to make after work and the popcorn chicken probably tastes fine. But this is not cooking, it's assembly. This is school cafeteria food for when the lunch ladies are feeling burnt out. I can't believe they greenlit this recipe to be broadcast on TV.
No bagged salad mix? I'm impressed
When the plate you're serving your food on, looks better than the food itself...
"If you were serving this at a dinner party..."
No Sandra, no.
at 0.38 is she reading the "recipe" of a card? can she not remember what weant in the dressing despite only being 3 ingredients?
People talking shit but if sandra was my mom growing up I know life would have been dope as hell.
She always was sauced and cooking good food and having a good time
I bet Gordan Ramsay hates her for using frozen food
and for my next recipe a microwave tv dinner.
super simple to make if you dont have time.
"I'm gonna doll this TV dinner up by adding some raspberry extract...and you'll get to take all the credit!!"

Apparently a lot of people didn't get the concept of "Semi-Homemade."
Pseudo-homemade would have been more accurate.
When her eyes get REAL wide and she starts blinking rapidly, I feel like she's crying out for help. Someone save her from herself!
Bless her soul she actually has a recipe for that!!
"I wanna do something a little decorative"
Oh no...
Baby carrots in a salad? Oh for fuck
And the gigantic tomato pieces. I don't think she's ever eaten a salad before.
I'm surprised. I've never seen her put so much effort into a recipe. So many fresh foods. 😆
Next time I'm hoping she shows me how to cook a frozen pizza.
So we're just not going to talk about those tomato slices..
Or the whole baby carrots going into a salad
"A salad dressing to tASS my salad in" NO WAY. YOU ARE GOING TO TOSS THE SALAD? IN DRESSING? Wow, glad you mentioned it or I wouldn't have known what the hell to do with my salad dressing.
This show wasted *so* much food.
Why the fuck does this show exist? Frozen stuff tells you how to cook it on the back and making a salad, come on, a basic salad is child's play.
Well, that's why her show is called Semi-Homemade: Some fresh ingredients, some not. (some fresh is better than no fresh)
orasis I think this is a great cooking show and, stop being rude to CesCooking.
Bunny Rabbits Forever Enjoy your frozen delicacies!

OK, I will repeat a comment that I made about a couple years ago: The reason why she is using frozen ingredients with fresh, is because the show is called Semi-Homemade (and vice versa). *Not ALL the ingredients in her recipe will be fresh, hence the Semi-Homemade.*
John Lee That nice, but, the question was WHY DOES THIS SHOW EXIST?
Bruh the TOMATOES. If I was served a salad with that big of tomatoes…..I’d collapse.
1:33 claims she already washed the tomatoes. when has she actually even washed produce?
I wonder what would Gordon Ramsay say about this...
she isn't even teaching people how to cook!! she just buys everything from a store and adds her own seasonings. I'm 16 and i cook more homemade foods then her!
Okay? I'm 24 and I too make things from scratch. Hell a 5 year old probably makes things on par with hers with an Easy Bake Oven.
tall Lett Keep on trucking. We need more teenagers like you. (Just realize, darlin, that she’s never been a cook. She wanted a “cooking” show. And she got it because she had connections.) Please tell me you watch Anne Burrell. That woman can teach.
What is her life without
1) extract
2) canned frosting
3) canned soup
4) alcohol
She puts the "Ho" in "Semi Ho-Made," lol 😂
Wait could she not find pre-sliced tomatoes and cucumbers?!
Why is it when Ina Garten makes a salad, it looks elegant and like you need a show for it and when she makes one, she gives you instructions on opening a bag of carrots.
the answer to that is pretty obvious
the real question is how come theyre on the same channel
Are Sandra Dee's videos comedic, because they crack me me up! "Best fried chicken salad in the world"? It's got to be hard to make a salad thats 99% artificial ingredients.
I don't believe she eats her food. She's in shape and her food is quite unhealthy.
Toss the salad? Hahahaha love aunt Sandy!!
Uses dressing to make dressing. Lol Wait! Hold up! Did she just throw a big piece of cucumber in the trash? Oh yeah, that's Aunt Sandy.
How are you going to eat gigantic ass baby carrots and huge quarters of tomato in a salad? This is big chunks of vegetables on lettuce, not a salad.
she said "frozen product" within the first 20 seconds of the recipe. proof that this has no place on a network that dares call itself the "FOOD" network.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen her read a recipe off a card while on the show. And of all things, a doctored up ranch dressing.
FRESH LIME? Don't be crazy, Sandra!
I like how on pretty much every Sandra Lee video there's snarky comments about her recipes when the show was literally called "Semi-Homemade Cooking".
"Think paper, think plastic, anything disposable. Don't use tupperware and re-usable utensils, for god sakes. The mark of a successful meal is how much shit you throw away!"
wow, she doesn’t know many descriptors, does she?
Notice how she calls the chicken a "frozen product..."
I saw the title and thought "Hm. That sounds pretty good".
I lost my apitite as soon as she took the pre-made chicken out of the freezer.
"I love Romain lettuce because it looks like nice little slices of lace when you cut it thinly." Wtf? No the fuck it doesn't.
Shes showing me how to make bachelor food. Why not just microwave everything? This isn't a "cooking show."
Love your cooking
I have to give sandy credit where it’s due. The cucumber trick is legit. I actually do this all the time
"just drizzle a little bit of this dressing over the top,"
*proceeds to dump globs of fattening crap on to the plate
Im shocked she actually cut up the produce herself. I was expecting her to pull out a "pre chopped" baggy with everything in it.
I could never figure out how she had a cooking show.
She loves using premixed spice blends on already bottled or prepared products. Barbecue blend in ranch dressing. Vanilla in a can of already made cake frosting. That isn’t “semi homemade” that’s “semi disgusting”.
