Jesse Nava i watch videos while doing tasks like washing dishes, not trying to touch my phone screen with wet hands just to read a caption that could’ve been on screen a few extra seconds
Chris blows my mind on the regular. He is becoming my favorite. Today's 2 shockers: 1. Chris has kids?! 2. A massive mess to Chris is panko crumbs on the counter.
I’ve been getting BA mag for years, but ever since they started this “From the Test Kitchen” thing, my love for food and cooking has been completely elevated. I learn so much every time and it has just made me so much better. Thanks BA.
I love watching these because they’ll talk about the “flavor” and the “brightness” and the “depth” of whatever food they’re making and I never know what any of that means but it intrigues me nonetheless
YESSS ✨ Chris’ contents are always so soothing and yet informative! The katsu cutlets turned out so beautifully with the addition of Cayenne pepper and hot sauce 😍
Watched this two days ago, went to the store yesterday, made it for lunch today. Gonna be a staple in the family. Used Hawaiian bread and the sweetness added to it was delicious
@@honeybunbadger Sorry, but you're dead wrong. You shouldn't have to pause and rewind a video just to read captions. It's bad editing; a total fail in film school.
I’m 100% on board. I have an above average reading speed, and I still can’t read all of it in one go. i have to rewind and pause each time. They definitely should make it longer.
Being a fast reader, I have no issues with this... however being a video editor myself, I can totally see the problem it would cause other people who haven't got the eye reflexes of a madman. Hopefully they note the feedback and do something about it for future content.
9:44, Chris, you win. This sandwich got the ladies flocking. And you know when someone has to cover their whole face when taking a bite, it's hitting the spot.
@@godlygamer911 Thighs have more flavor. You can absolutely cook some delicious meals with chicken breast, but many of them are going to be better with a boneless skinless thigh.
we need an episode of the cast cooking with their kids, I don't care how old they are. You could even bring your pregnant wife if you'd like but we NEED it
i love the collaborative element to this video--ik BA has had its share of issues in the past few years, but looking back to something 4 years ago (pre pandemic, pre controversy, with everyone looking so young and fresh!) and seeing the level of engagement of chris with other staff and his stellar explanation of technique/ways to amp up one's own rendition of the recipe fills me with joy!
"I think I'd like to invite Chris over for dinner. He seems like an interesting guy with tons of knowledge..." "I'm making a massive mess here!" [Five bread crumbs on counter] "Nevermind. I'll just tell him my house burned down."
I mean as far as hot chicken goes, this isn't so crazy. After dredging with a flour/cayenne mixture and then frying, I baste a mixture with an additional ~1 tablespoon of cayenne per chicken breast
I made something similar, but instead of the mayo I made some homemade tonkatsu sauce. I also made a thin pan-fried, seasoned rice patty and some homemade pickles. It was amazing. A bit spicy, a bit sweet, a bit sour, and very filling.
I just made it! It turned out amazing. I added a little more heat and it was perfect. Nice crunch & spice. This goes into the 'treat' recipes. Thanks Chris!
Take the whole box, cut buns in half without separating them, make “mega” sandwich, then cut apart the individual sandwiches. Way easier, and no sacrificing in any ingredients!
This sando looks great, but I would axe the lettuce and use cabbage. Or even make a cabbage slaw with that dressing to bring the crunch with the well rounded heat and flavor of the dressing/mayo.
@@LordofBays Funny thing is McD's is looking for something to 'strike back' against CFA's success. I'm like, how bout make a decent chicken sandwich for once?
I made a version of this with what I had in my kitchen at the time, which was wheat bread, normal breadcrumbs, red leaf lettuce and sriracha. I don’t love bread and butter pickles, so I diced regular pickle spears in my sauce and used gochujang instead of regular hot sauce for that sweetness he’s talking about... All I can say is, I’m glad I made two. 😌 it’s a really flexible recipe that you can play around with, can’t wait to make the original! (By the way, don’t be afraid about the cayenne pepper. I used less than he recommended because I was scared, and ended up adding more spice after the fact 🤷🏾♀️ you’ll be fine!!)
I think I'm going to add some korean red pepper powder (gochugaru), and some Japanese seven spice (shichimi) for a bit more of some of that sweet and salty flavor and then take up the cayenne even more for that extra heat. Thank you Chris. This looks so freaking amazing! Also I don't know if I can get some milk bread so I might go brioche for the bread. I am so excited about this!
I just made this yesterday and let me tell you it was A-MA-ZING. It was not spicy at all, I definitely understand when they say it could be even hotter. Everyone at home loved it! Definitely a great recipe. Great job Chris!
Always love BA videos! Just a note: the little pop up tips disappear super quick it’s hard to read them And yes I know I can rewind and pause but I’m not tryna disrupt Chris’s flow with this epic chicken sandy

Note to editor, keep your blurbs up longer, 1/4 of a second is to short. 👍
How long does it take you to read a short sentence...?
You can only keep them up for so long especially if the subject is changing fast. That's not the editors fault.
there is a function video players have had since they existed. It's called the pause button. Perhaps you should use it if you read at a snails pace.

Honestly if you cut up the thighs and did lil katsus to put on kings hawaiian rolls. Making spicy katsu sliders would be pretty good for a party
Skinless, boneless chicken thighs are kind of flat, though craggy on one side. You could do a nicely juicy katsu from those.
@@recoil53 yes thighs all the

This sando looks great, but I would axe the lettuce and use cabbage. Or even make a cabbage slaw with that dressing to bring the crunch with the well rounded heat and flavor of the dressing/mayo.
Slaw! An underrated topping, I should have thought of that. It's used on BBQ sandwiches and hot dogs (Georgia, the Varsity).
I would do both tbh
I honestly was a little irritated he was using lettuce. Cabbage is my favorite part of a katsu sando behind the katsu.
1000% What I was thinking the whole way through!!!
Yas. Cabbage and katsu are so good together
“This could called any number of things”
*Names one thing *

Chris is my fav, he’s oddly relaxing. Can’t wait to try this 👍🏻
You should absolutely try this with Japanese Mayo and cabbage instead of lettuce!
