Hi Adam. I've been missing my weekly plessure of listening to your podcasts. Are you taking a break from them or is there an episode coming up soon? Love your content, nothing is as good as a walk and your podcast during these very difficult times for me.
“would you rather have toxic chicken juice spurting around your kitchen or would you rather have microplastics driven into the center of your meat” adam this is the exact question i have been asking myself for years.
@@JohnHausser genuinely in every professional kitchen i’ve seen it seems microplastic contamination and general common toxins are completely ignored aside from what osha mandates
This recipe/video is amazing, and really a culmination of Adam's style! Heavy use of wine, absolutely minimal dishes, super practical prep and cook time, breaking tradition but staying true to the goals and essence of the dish... and the out-of-nowhere bodybuilder egg slurp! Bravo!
One thing I love about Mr. Ragusea, is he makes his food in his videos like how a normal home cook would instead of having it seem intimidating by making it seem like it has to be perfect. Much love to you Mr. Ragusea
It is such a paradigm shift for me. Most cooking youtubers either already have or have slowly upgraded their kitchens to a truly unrelatable level. Ragusea is the only cooking channel on the internet where I watch videos and then go "huh, I *can* cook that" then I proceed to cook that
@@chezmoi42 😌🥃 10,000 years of cooking evolution, and the top tier, fast, eco friendly solution is still basically shake n bake. Paper bag makes it even better.
As a parent, BOY, do I relate to the energy of this! Figuring out something the kids will eat, trying to fix it quickly and not use a lot of dishes...yeah, Adam's method of a 3-part breading station was revelatory! I really appreciate this casual, real-life style of cooking video!
Why do they get to pick whether they eat it? Wouldn't that encourage their picky eating behaviour? When I was little I had to finish my plate before I could leave the table, even if I didn't like it. Alot of the time I started liking it after having it a few times. The alternative of feeding them stuff like this, which is basically fastfood doesn't seem healthy to me and might breed some unhealthy eating habits.
@@Donderopmetjegebruikersnaam Arfid is a genuine issue for a LOT of kids and forcing kids to finish their plates can cause WAY worse picky eating in the future. I'm glad that it sounds like it didn't happen to you but sadly I was the opposite and it resulted in a bad eating disorder for me later in life. Thankfully therapy and closure is what brought me back to eating healthy again.
@@purplegill10I am sorry for what happened to you but I am genuinely confused and If you are comfortable with it can you tell me exactly how you were forced? Sharing my story if that helps --> me and my sister were picky eaters (especially my sister) and my mom sometimes depending upon her mood (gave us a choice of either eat or starve) or (gave us some kind of reward for finishing the meal) and now we eat the majority of foods without any problem (even the ones we still dislike)
@@MarkyIsNow The problem is that for people with arfid, being forced to eat something causes the overwhleming memory of rejection or danger associated with certain foods. Moreover, people with arfid already get bad reactions to some foods where people can freeze up, feel sick, or otherwise cannot swallow certain foods, textures, tastes, etc. Essentially the body has a reaction similar to an allergy to a food and it causes your throat to close up or your mouth to have an automatic reaction of trying to get the food out of it. In relation to being forced, it can cause a fight or flight response when seeing or tasting certain foods and cause the body to not allow yourself to swallow or produce saliva in order to eat the food safely. Sadly, this often gets misdiagnosed as someone just being a "picky eater" and can cause dietary issues in childhood and eating disorders/severe depression in adults.
seeing you do a "draw me like one of your french girls" pose and then slurp a raw egg yolk in the same video is definitely going to be the highlight of my day, and it even came with a good recipe!
7:14 actually surprised me, because somehow my brain decided that "Oh, this is Kenji Lopez-Alt now!" I know he's a big influence, it shows, and I love it.
@@CyberFlare-fn9kn Actually you are right. A lot of recipes use a form of dairy or vinegar or fruit juice as the acid. I don't know why I said most. A lot do though!
Oh Adam. I feel you. My son is in -college- and every time I serve him food, he frequently comments on it being spicy. I JUST USED BLACK PEPPER! Imagine if I Chef John'd everything with cayenne!
If it's something that your son would like clarity on, he can see a doctor and ask them to test if he might be a supertaster. A percentage of the population is born with more sensitive taste buds and even the mildest spices can be overwhelming! There's a great wikipedia article on it for more info.
@@SimuLordYup I feel you bro... One thing that you can do is make the food without any chilli and then top your plate with extra hot sauce and freshly ground black pepper or a spicy chutney or even simply a raw chilli pepper on the side. Just keep taking bites off the chilli while you eat the non spicy food...
Not only did I make this recipe the same day as the video and LOVED it, the next day I changed it up to pork tenderloin with a tablespoon of Dijon in the marinade and I made my new favorite snack/meal! Thanks for the great recipe, Adam!
this video really shows how much your video style has changed. it feels a lot less quick paced, edited, and its just a lot more casual. its still a great recipe and it feels like you. also feels inspired by the cooking media youve shown youve loved.
How full circle we’ve come. His original chicken parm video was my first video of his I watched and seeing all the similarities to that recipe after all these years is nice
I've been proselytizing starch in frying for years after I learned how common it and 'alternate' (as considered in the US) flours are in various Asian cuisines and at some of the best fried chicken places I've had the pleasure of finding. I cannot find any sort of academic sources, but I understand some of the chemistry. Even knowing what I know, I'd love to see you make a video - or even better a podcast - on the subject, as you are able. Thanks for the nugs!
Potato starch is particularly great, it can take a ton of cooking before starts browning, therfore it allows for cook for way longer, removing more moisture and making it crispier.
Hey Adam, thanks for the awesome video! I'm definitely going to make this for my family soon. Unrelated to the video topic, but big props to whoever does your captions! They're honestly more accurate than I usually see in human-made captions and of course significantly better than the automated captions. Very appreciated even for those of us who don't strictly *need* them but prefer to have them.
Afaik he does them himself. It's actually very easy to do, as TH-cam is pretty good at most (white and male) voices these days. Just needs some editing and punctuating. For his "more produced" videos I think he uploads the transcript he writes; TH-cam times it automatically. It's really not hard to be accessible, most people, channels, producers, are just lazy or beholden to squeezing every last cent out of their videos as they can, unfortunately. (Cue the classic from Tom Scott: "Just buy some damn subtitles!" It's not that expensive for most videos.) And I SUPER appreciate all the work you do on this Adam.
@@TheIrishAlchemist205 I mean, the auto-captions are passable, but the hand made ones are noticeably better, and to the point they are extremely good on this video. As you said, Tom Scott is a gold standard for paying people to do it on even his "less important" videos. I am of the opinion that any creator with more than a million (or some other arbitrary cutoff) subs should have to provide human-made subtitles on their channels if they want monetization.
@@Zelmel fully agree, especially after they removed community captions. A couple bad eggs ruin an AMAZING tool for everyone. Especially ESPECIALLY since captions are $1-2/min, it's a neglible cost for most creators. (Having flashbacks to Linus Tech Tips whining "we simply can't because it'd disrupt the flow of videos [for basically a week] boohoo.")
I love the low effort technique for breading things you showed off here. The biggest reason I don't do breaded foods is because of all the dishes it makes, but I just made panko fried egg plant in the same way and it turned out great! Will definitely be incorporating this into my cooking much more often

Not sure what is different about your pacing/tone, but this is legitimately the most relaxing video I've ever seen from you and I love it. On this day as I am decluttering my TH-cam subscription feed, this video reminds me about why I subscribed to you in the first place.
Lemon squeezed on top is also italian food (at least here in Sicily where I'm from)! Palermitana (our version of wiener schnitzel essentially) goes with lemons usually, and the parsley in the crust, also mint sometimes. I mean, we are the region of citrus, afterall!
When you have leftover egg and breading you can mix them together in a sort of batter and fry it in small strips/balls. They have a different name in various regions of Italy (and in many other countries as well I bet) but my favorite one is "strozza bischeri" which literally translates to "fool chokers". A funny and well deserved name because not only they fool you by looking like the rest of the breaded and fried food, but they can also be a bit dry and end up getting stuck in your throat if you eat too many at once without drinking something. With cheese in the breading though I bet they would be delicious.
this looks great! the recipes you have been putting out in recent memory have been great easy weeknight meals and im all here for it! I've been enjoying this format as well with you talking as you cook, it feels a lot more relaxed. Hope you are doing well!
the 3 stage breading technique showed here seems so much faster and like a game changer lmao, if it actually gives half decent results i'll definitely try it. I do it the traditional way, 3 dishes for each coating , 1 piece at a time in each coating , one wet one dry hand and it takes forver and if you're not putting the pieces directly in the pan you need a 4th dish to put the breaded pieces on, where as this used like 2 dishes and breaded almost all simultaneously
Don’t even care about chicken nuggets but this was the most enjoyable cooking video I’ve ever watched. You are super funny and have a great way of constantly talking but never getting annoying.
Loved this! for anyone who also likes a finer panko you can get that in a food processor fairly quickly, i normally get the spiky stuff and just blitz it a few times in batches to personal preference and into a ziplock as soon as i open it.
Growing up my folks would use an egg (you could use the egg yolk you ate) to make some sort of dough with the leftover breading and fry that one. It always made for a special treat !
Honestly, I would love a series of meals that we're adult and kid friendly (and low-ish effort). I feel like I spend so much time trying to think of new ideas for my toddler.
the chicken parm was the first recipe’s of yours i saved. though i don’t think i’ll switch to tenders for it, it’s cool to see how a classic recipe has evolved!
Notes: 1) Adam mentions microplastics just as I was thinking “but what about microplastics?” 2) The risk of raw eggs may be overstated and frankly they are tasty. 3) Love the split screen effect. 4) Looks tasty!
ADAM!!! I stole your recipe years ago and literally made these nuggets based off your recipe. I went a different route slightly, but thanks for your awesome recipes❤. Can’t believe my cooking journey started with you already that long ago. My whole family and my girlfriend always tell me I’m a good cook! It’s because of you! Thank you for creating videos ❤
I was just thinking that. I usually do the three stage, but in freezer bags for easy cleanup, and because I can close the bag and toss around to coat. But this way, I could easily reduce waste by only using one bag, or better yet, one bowl. That’s a much easier cleanup than three bowls.
I’ve been making making them like this my whole life as well. They come out surprisingly crispy if you bake them, if you don’t want to deal with the mess of frying.
How many chocolate chips did he need to bribe his son with to get him to try it?! lol I’ve made Adam’s chicken parm a bunch of times and will definitely be giving this a try soon!
Have you considered looking into how much of a difference using olive oil over a neutral oil makes when frying? I always feel like I am wasting nice olive oil when I use it to fry stuff, because almost all of the flavorful compounds seem to cook out of the oil when it's heated. The chicken looks really good, I never even thought about adding cheese to the breading itself! Must try this.
Strip: a slice of chicken, generally the breast, cooked whole Tender: specifically what you have here. It’s a specific part of the chicken, like a tenderloin on a cow, but in this case it is next to the breast. Nugget: small cooked piece of chicken. Lots of restaurants and freezer section versions are ground meat and spices, but some places (like Chick Fil A) do whole chicken that is basically chicken strips, just cut into pieces.
I have a similar recipe but cook them in the air fryer. I'm sure it isn't quite as tasty as real frying, but it simplifies things a bit and makes me more likely to make them.
@@stab244 I used the max-temp (400) for about 15 mins. I turn them over half way to make sure they crisp evenly. Oh, I also usually use thighs, so they are more forgiving with the cooking.
Adam no longer pretends and says he's saving the yolk for ".... something" This man just straight slurpin that bad boy up on camera from now on! Love you Adam ❤️
Your classic chicken Parm recipe is how i really got myself to cook. I love chicken parm but its expensive to get when im out so i knuckles down and learned to make it.
I've been on to chicken tenderloins for about a year now, they really are great, I particularly like using them for fried things like this, or for sandwich sort of things, like a chicken, pepper, and onion sorta mix. That being said they have the tougher bit running through that I like to cut out. I know it is edible, but usually if I leave it it's chewier and I just don't like it
Been awhile since I've been able to catch one of your videos! I'm really digging the new setup, and I love your energy throughout the video. Another banger recipe from Ragusea!
If you don't use wine, use apple juice instead for white wine. I've seen thoughts to use grapefruit juice mixed with grape juice to substitute red wine but have not tested it.
this format is like that one great friend you don't see very often - you're not really trying to contact each other but when the stars align - you meet, and it's just as awesome as ever
I'll admit to being thrown a little by the yolk slurp! Fun video, I could see this sort of preparation also being nice for putting on top of salad or somesuch.
1:58 This is a hypothesis but given how well cornstarch absorbs moisture, I wonder if you can avoid both splattered chicken juice and microplastics/single-use plastic by first drying off the chicken and shaking in Tupperware with cornstarch. To overthink this, I bet you can press down with the meat tenderizer and hammer the tenderizer with a rubber mallet to further avoid any splatter.
ive heard the best thing to do is just to put food on their plate, and let them not eat it. once you do it enough times, they'll get curious and try it on their own. forcing them only makes them hate it more.
part of me is hesitant to say that you should bend over backwards. my parents always said "this is what we're having, you kid can have it too or you're on your own". no one was being forced to do what they didn't want.
another great way to make these even more appetizing to your 5 to 10 year old is to make sure that the nuggets are shaped in a way that resembles dinosaurs
You can also try to put in a teaspoon of baking powder with your chicken brine, a similar effect of velveting. Makes them the moisted softest chicken you've ever had. I once put in to much, even with 10 degrees over the perfect temperature they still felt like they were raw when I took a bite
God it's sad to see how Americans tip toe around their children. In Eastern Europe, parents make dinner, if you don't like it you don't eat, kids learn pretty quickly to try and enjoy new foods.

Hi Adam. I've been missing my weekly plessure of listening to your podcasts. Are you taking a break from them or is there an episode coming up soon? Love your content, nothing is as good as a walk and your podcast during these very difficult times for me.
You should make a video about the science of velveting meat at Chinese restaurants
Hey why didn't you pull out those tendons? There's no way those got enough heat to not be stringy!
I’m loving the slightly unhinged “I just need to cook something they will eat” energy of this one

“would you rather have toxic chicken juice spurting around your kitchen or would you rather have microplastics driven into the center of your meat” adam this is the exact question i have been asking myself for years.
Micro/nanoplastics issues are effectively underrated lol
There are already microplastics in my food, so it's not like a few ppm more will be problematic.
Every time I cook sous vide I think the same thing: “every fiber of my being says not to eat the hot bag meat…but it tastes so good”
@@JohnHausser genuinely in every professional kitchen i’ve seen it seems microplastic contamination and general common toxins are completely ignored aside from what osha mandates
I thought it as he said it. Just put plastic wrap on everything except the chicken, Dexter-style.

The measuring cup dredging technique blew my mind, saving multiple dishes may make me actually cook this favorite recipie more often!
Oh yes. I hadn't even realised you could do it that way and the traditional three-bowl method is a huge hassle

Growing up my folks would use an egg (you could use the egg yolk you ate) to make some sort of dough with the leftover breading and fry that one. It always made for a special treat !
I find that whacking meat with the back of your knife for a while works pretty well if you don't have a mallet. It takes longer but works nicely.
Honestly, I would love a series of meals that we're adult and kid friendly (and low-ish effort). I feel like I spend so much time trying to think of new ideas for my toddler.
"I should make something for the kids."
"Where's the wine?"
The literality of "pick your poison" in this instance is some combination of hilarious and haunting.
Wow I love this video format. Adam off-script is really entertaining and informative.
the chicken parm was the first recipe’s of yours i saved. though i don’t think i’ll switch to tenders for it, it’s cool to see how a classic recipe has evolved!
Notes: 1) Adam mentions microplastics just as I was thinking “but what about microplastics?” 2) The risk of raw eggs may be overstated and frankly they are tasty. 3) Love the split screen effect. 4) Looks tasty!
Sometimes I wonder if Adam is a genius or just crazy. Today definitely got the high functioning alcoholic crazy genius vibe in the best way possible!
We were wondering ourselves if he helped himself to the rest of the wine, because he seemed very soused!
It feels like Adam has hit his Marco Pierre White phase. It seems like he just kind of doesn't give too much of a shit anymore, and I love it.
Happy for another video, thanks Adam! Been missing you and your podcast. Hope you are doing well. ❤
Also miss the podcast! But I understand why Adam might be taking a break from it.
ADAM!!! I stole your recipe years ago and literally made these nuggets based off your recipe. I went a different route slightly, but thanks for your awesome recipes❤. Can’t believe my cooking journey started with you already that long ago. My whole family and my girlfriend always tell me I’m a good cook! It’s because of you! Thank you for creating videos ❤
I always used the Alton Brown three stage breading, but wow this is so much easier. Definitely going to try this out.
I was just thinking that. I usually do the three stage, but in freezer bags for easy cleanup, and because I can close the bag and toss around to coat. But this way, I could easily reduce waste by only using one bag, or better yet, one bowl. That’s a much easier cleanup than three bowls.
yea i feel almost dumb for not trying something like this, if it gives even half decent results im definitely switching
Loving this new style of videos... explaining while making the food is honestly pretty fun to view
Adam, I dig this more relaxed style of your vids with "live" commentary instead of narration.
Made this tonight with the balsamic vinegar instead of wine and it was delicious. Thanks for the recipe
2:25 if you just want to skip to the white wine
I’ve been making making them like this my whole life as well. They come out surprisingly crispy if you bake them, if you don’t want to deal with the mess of frying.
How many chocolate chips did he need to bribe his son with to get him to try it?! lol
I’ve made Adam’s chicken parm a bunch of times and will definitely be giving this a try soon!
Read this as "need to brine his son with", thought it didn't make sense haha
I was wondering what those chocolate chips were doing there. 😂
One of your simplest and most practical videos. Thanks.
Have you considered looking into how much of a difference using olive oil over a neutral oil makes when frying? I always feel like I am wasting nice olive oil when I use it to fry stuff, because almost all of the flavorful compounds seem to cook out of the oil when it's heated.
The chicken looks really good, I never even thought about adding cheese to the breading itself! Must try this.
I beleive ethan chlebowski has done some good videos on olive oil
@@eggegg4711 Thank you, Egg! I will look into it
Strip: a slice of chicken, generally the breast, cooked whole
Tender: specifically what you have here. It’s a specific part of the chicken, like a tenderloin on a cow, but in this case it is next to the breast.
Nugget: small cooked piece of chicken. Lots of restaurants and freezer section versions are ground meat and spices, but some places (like Chick Fil A) do whole chicken that is basically chicken strips, just cut into pieces.
I have a similar recipe but cook them in the air fryer. I'm sure it isn't quite as tasty as real frying, but it simplifies things a bit and makes me more likely to make them.
What time and temp do you use?
@@stab244 I used the max-temp (400) for about 15 mins. I turn them over half way to make sure they crisp evenly.
Oh, I also usually use thighs, so they are more forgiving with the cooking.
thank you! definitely going to try it in the air fryer this week
I absolutely LOVE this style of video as opposed to the typical voice over after the fact style you typically use
Also that crunch at the end was immaculate
2:00 Saran wrap just don't taste the same since they took the Phthalates out. 😅
Adam no longer pretends and says he's saving the yolk for ".... something"
This man just straight slurpin that bad boy up on camera from now on!
Love you Adam ❤️
The egg yolk slurp was DERANGED and that's coming from someone who has absolutely no issues with raw eggs.
Sir, thank you for this one. It's definitely one of my favorite. You're great, I really like the way you explain things.
Your classic chicken Parm recipe is how i really got myself to cook. I love chicken parm but its expensive to get when im out so i knuckles down and learned to make it.
I've been on to chicken tenderloins for about a year now, they really are great, I particularly like using them for fried things like this, or for sandwich sort of things, like a chicken, pepper, and onion sorta mix. That being said they have the tougher bit running through that I like to cut out. I know it is edible, but usually if I leave it it's chewier and I just don't like it
I always remove it, too.
There is a method where you catch that bit in the tines of a fork, hold on to it and pull it right out.
@@phyllisreinking4208 Oh that's smart, I'll have to try that
Been awhile since I've been able to catch one of your videos! I'm really digging the new setup, and I love your energy throughout the video. Another banger recipe from Ragusea!
I love the feral energy of these more off-the-cuff videos
This vibes in this one are great! Really enjoyed the flow with the camera angles
SPLURING THE EGG YOLK LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
When I was little, my mom got me to eat spinach by saying it was lettuce. I didn't figure it out until I learned how to read the bag lol.
Good times 💙
I really like this format where you speak as you cook instead of doing a voiceover.
Love your videos and podcasts Adam, keep up the good work 👏
If you don't use wine, use apple juice instead for white wine. I've seen thoughts to use grapefruit juice mixed with grape juice to substitute red wine but have not tested it.
Chick fil A slander wont be forgotten 🤨
love this style of vid! feels very relaxed but still super informative, almost classic cooking show style
Hey Adam! I do something similar, but also add some lemon or lime zest to the bread crumbs. Here in Israel we add lemon to everything 😂
There's something about this video that really got me. I've always liked Adam's style but this video was particularly good.
this format is like that one great friend you don't see very often - you're not really trying to contact each other but when the stars align - you meet, and it's just as awesome as ever
Helix being the sponsor of this "I haven't slept for 2 days vibe" is absolutely amazing
I'll admit to being thrown a little by the yolk slurp! Fun video, I could see this sort of preparation also being nice for putting on top of salad or somesuch.
You’re lookin a lot healthier and happier in this vid Adam, hope the holidays gave you some much needed rest!
11:05 ok, tried this but but child does not want to be held in oven
lol
1:58
This is a hypothesis but given how well cornstarch absorbs moisture, I wonder if you can avoid both splattered chicken juice and microplastics/single-use plastic by first drying off the chicken and shaking in Tupperware with cornstarch.
To overthink this, I bet you can press down with the meat tenderizer and hammer the tenderizer with a rubber mallet to further avoid any splatter.
More of this kid-friendly stuff please! I've got a picky two year old who is also a "nuggetatarian."
ive heard the best thing to do is just to put food on their plate, and let them not eat it. once you do it enough times, they'll get curious and try it on their own. forcing them only makes them hate it more.
part of me is hesitant to say that you should bend over backwards. my parents always said "this is what we're having, you kid can have it too or you're on your own". no one was being forced to do what they didn't want.
I feel like he's playing around with new forms of editing and kind of showing off a little bit and I am all here for it
another great way to make these even more appetizing to your 5 to 10 year old is to make sure that the nuggets are shaped in a way that resembles dinosaurs
It helps too that birds are dinosaurs!!
This is the most tired dad energy I ever got from watching a video.
brilliant I love it
8:02 made me go 🙊
Such a cozy video! Love this format!
that egg bit caught me so off guard
We just made this and it turned out amazing. Thanks!
Can I just say thank you for not filming your kids face. I appreciate when creators respect boundaries
You can also try to put in a teaspoon of baking powder with your chicken brine, a similar effect of velveting. Makes them the moisted softest chicken you've ever had. I once put in to much, even with 10 degrees over the perfect temperature they still felt like they were raw when I took a bite
God it's sad to see how Americans tip toe around their children. In Eastern Europe, parents make dinner, if you don't like it you don't eat, kids learn pretty quickly to try and enjoy new foods.
