Naaaah dude..... That chicken was healthy..... It packs protein for muscle & fat for energy & burning.... When are you all gonna wake up stop blaming it in the fried chicken and just workout and you can eat fried chicken along with other healthy food just everything in moderation duuuuude. Chill out. 🎉
I’ve been to this restaurant 3 times and every single time it hits!!! The chicken is just spectacular, juicy, and crispy!! It’s called honeymoon chicken and it’s in DC if anyone’s curious. Definitely give them a try!
I’ve had a Love Affair with Fried Chicken my whole life. Sunday is the Best time to bring Family together for a good meal. Thank You for Sharing this video.❤
Based off the looks of that chicken, I’m doing everything he just said. I’ve learned to fry chix very similarly minus the baking soda baking powder additives. Can’t wait to try it out though!! 😊
❤ Youre using my moms recipe. She tossed in celery salt too. Mom soaked the chicken in milk before she added the spices. In a cast iron skillet. With Crisco shortening. The meat would melt in your mouth. Use a cast iron skillet. Nothing beats that ❤ great vid RIP Mama 😢
Zmiller , my great grandmother had a killer recipe and where I stored it faded away drastically. She was from Mississippi, grew up in Louisiana. Judging from your comment I trust family old school receipes any thing you can share about her fried chicken. Thank you.
Iam also a local chef from India my recipe chicken +ginger garlic paste+slight amount of fresh chilly paste+corn flour starch+chilly powder+turmeric+garam masala+fried curry leaves+slight amount of curd or lemon juice+onion paste+salt and paper let it rest for some time and presurre cooker it in oil you will get the juiciest fried chicken
That’s what I was looking for! What’s in it for the chef if he’s not even given the proper credit? I want some of HIS CHICKEN!!! Did I say “IMMEDIATELY”??? 😂 Lbvs
Let's all agree that there are at least half dozen ways to make the best fried chicken with them all sharing 2-3 foundational points. Plus it all depends on the person eating.
exactly. My granny made great fried chicken and all she used was salt, pepper, paprika, and she made it in a cast iron skillet. I think her secret was putting the lid on halfway through cooking.
Literally showed my southern mother this and she is confused. She couldn’t figure out why this is so complicated. Just use shelf rising flour, baking powder. Season the raw chicken and the flour mix with basic salt, pepper and garlic powder or just use Tony’s for ease. You can either shake in a bag, toss in a bowl or hand coat… now fry. Literally how it’s been done since the 1800s
@@MisFit...ButGodIt does. Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour and baking powder. (Baking powder is mostly baking soda with some cream of tarter (mild acid). Some also contains a little corn starch so it pours better).
Did you do as he recommended with the double fry? And if so, can you just explain what he meant? Like am I suppose to deep fry the chicken at low temp first?
However, it was actually slavery and segregation that made this dish more mainstream. Slaves were generally allowed to keep chickens, so frying them on special occasions became a tradition. Segregation also made it difficult for African Americans to access some restaurants, so the method of frying chicken to preserve them became popular throughout. It is also said that African American soldiers during the Korean War passed on the knowledge of frying chicken to the Koreans, hence the birth of Korean Fried Chicken. (2/3)
Although it is a dish with a complicated and at times tragic history, it is enjoyed by millions around the world, especially so here in Washington DC. DC also has a deep history regarding Fried Chicken with excellent fried chicken staples including Honeymoon Chicken, where they combine traditional tastes with an arsenal of highly technical equipment including a THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR pressure fryer. Today we’re going to learn how to make the CRISPIEST fried chicekn from chef Rob Sonderman. (3/3)
That pressure fryer is what made it crispy. You can fry your chichen in a pressure cooker. Self rising flower does help but the pickle juice works because it doesn't cause the flour to fall apart in the oil. Most marinades do. Re-frying at a much higher temp synches the deal.
I have yet to meet anyone who does not like fried chicken, and that comes as a no surprise. Juicy, crunchy, salty, and aromatic. What is there not to like? Interestingly enough, our research shows that the Scottish were one of the first ones to fry their chicken, while rest of the world boiled or baked it. When they came to America, they brought their cooking methods with them. (1/3)
Danny can you post more on chef's secrets please? My dream & passion is becoming a chef but I don't have the finances to invest in culinary school so I basically learn by watching TH-cam videos, food network, & cooking at home. So thank you so much for your exposure & content I very much appreciate, love, & enjoy. Thanks Danny!!😊🍽
Ancient people have been frying meat throughout Africa long before the Scottish. The Scots no doubt learned how to do so from Africans who travelled to Europe and beyond to the Americas long before Columbus accidentally found his way there.
This is the best Fried Chicken in DC. Honeymoon Chicken is the name! They also had a big DC Rat problem. I’m still finna eat there. Lol! 😂 the chicken is crack!
I’ve never once used corn starch when cooking but it seems to be very versatile. Especially on chicken skin and fried things. I’m going to make beef tips in gravy tomorrow and use corn starch to thicken and see what that does
@@Doyle-I’ve been to restaurants who serve fried green tomatoes, or even vegetables stuffed inside an egg roll but that’s sorta all I’ve ever seen haha
I use 4 eggs with the seasoning And roll in the flour mix 325 on the oil Tenderize in olive oil with lemon for a few hours. Then roll it a cook and it comes out fabulous. Just like this
Honey dust?? I was recently at a spot in St.L where they put some type of light dust on my fried chicken. It was mystery dust and it was amazing (I suspect it was fine salt, fine sugar, and a little fine powdered msg) I wouldn’t be surprised if their nickname for it was crack.
The key to making the best fried chicken along with what the chef said is to make sure your chicken is COLD and your grease is HOT. As soon as the coating hits that flour battered chicken it will lock in the juices !!!! Never fry chicken that’s room temperature it will be dried out everytime ! 😊
Aside from the chicken, that fryer is the most baller thing I've ever seen.
That is a pressure fryer, kfc also uses pressure fryers lol
They also use that in KFC

Yeah pressure fry is what kfc do
Online right now looking for cost of one

He flew right by the actual secret. The corn starch.
And the double fry method. Korean BBQ uses this method to get a glossy, almost caramel candy shell like crust on their fried chicken.
Your both wrong is the pressure fryer
All 3 of you are wrong. It's the hat.
No it the corn starch,
It sticks to your guts for life😂😂😂
All of you are wrong.
I get crispier chicken and I use potato starch.

Double frying is definitely a great advice. It ensures that juicy on the inside and then, super crispy

The corn starch is what makes it extra crispy
exactly, along with that double fry technique. he basically just described the korean fried chicken style.
Yea bc self rising flour isn’t necessary at all
Facts
Baking soda is the reason
Which originated with Black American soldiers stationed in that area during the past.
Crispiness is a given for almost any fried food. Flavor is the most important. Crispy ain't shit if the chicken tastes bland or bad.
If it has a lot of flavor, yet it’s soggy, that’s a fail. Looks like this recipe has both.
@@NYCRhythmehhh it depends really
Or over seasoned. I use to be too heavy handed for the crowd. Always have fun tryna top my last batch
Corn starch and fry it in some good old fashioned crisco. Best chicken ever

Shout out to this young chef I like what he said definitely took note ❤❤❤❤

THAT LOOKS SO CRISPY AND CRUNCHY AND SO DELICIOUS
It’s the “honey dust”. Sprinkle a little sugar on hot chicken right after removing from oil. It will help make it crispy even after it cools a little

It does come out a little crispier when you use the double fry method. But it is an extra step
Marinade chicken in pickle juice, Add Chipotle powder corn starch, smoke paprika, self rising flour, honey dust salt pepper baking powder, onion powder, double fry, all purpose flour 325° then 350°
Baking powder is in the self rising flour the next ingredient would be corn starch
One thing he also said is that self rising flour has baking soda in it, and it does not, so you definitely need to add it.
@@MisFit...ButGodIt does. Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour and baking powder. (Baking powder is mostly baking soda with some cream of tarter (mild acid). Some also contains a little corn starch so it pours better).
