Will this be a series? Because this needs to be a series. I'm hooked!
Oh so glad you liked it Dane!!! Yep, it's a new series for this year! Hope you come back to watch the other episodes!
@@Marionskitchen Hi Marion. I love fried chicken same as you do, your bottled marinade on the market should be called Marionade! 😅😊
@@Marionskitchen Yes, came back here a free watching to say I’d love more content like this!!!!! I’m sure it’s so much work, but I love test trial stuff like this!
I am so impressed with this video. The planning you put into this is evident and it was edited together very well. Methodical and interesting all the way through. Do a video on curries next! Love your work, Marion!
This must've took a lot of planning, story-boarding, and fried chicken researching. The effort behind this is levels beyond other food channels.
The intro with all the crunch in the editing really set the tone of the video.
Omg … I was waiting my whole life that someone did a proper comparison. Most of the time it’s only two type of chicken. I reeeeeally enjoyed watching this video. Also how you explained the differences of each type. Thanks for the time and effort that you and your team put into this video!! 😊💗
Thank you for taking the time to do this video!! It must have taken so long! You make cooking look so easy.
Thanks for watching!
I've noticed a slightly different style of editing, bon appetit vibe with the music and the grading is less saturated. Love it!
Yes, the BA drums indeed. But what does ‘grading saturated’ mean? Curious to know 🥰
I absolutely love this! I fry chicken regularly, Cajun, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, etc. This video is so fun and informative! Love it!
Aw thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🤗
-Team Marion's Kitchen
This is exactly what I needed. I’m always looking to make the best home cooked fried chicken but can only do one recipe at a time and so can never compare. Thank you! Also love seeing more of your team on camera.
Thanks Alison! Glad you enjoyed watching this episode🤗
-Team Marion's Kitchen
Please make this a series marion, I love your longer videos!
also the tasting, testing, labelling and talking with crew reminds me so much of gourmet makes.. i miss that so much
Thanks for watching!!! :-) Glad you liked it!
WOW thanks for doing this Marion & Crew!! The thought of my Mom working at KFC when we were really little kept coming to mind as I was watching this. Your prized chicken by far looks & sounds so delicious & we can't wait to make it.
True words anyone has ever said
"I don't know if you'd really want healthy fried chicken. I don't."
You're a star, Marion.
Hands down the best fried chicken comparison I have come across. You really covered all bases. Well done Marion and team.
Appreciate this, Bill ☺️ -Team Marion's Kitchen
Wow! There is obviously an audience for this kind of in-depth experimentation, so keep going, but I started flagging halfway through and FF to your ultimate recipe, which is all I really cared about. I trust your taste and cooking ability - nothing to prove there. My husband and I have made more of your recipes than those of any others. I already know what kind of fried chicken I like best. We can’t get enough of your videos because (besides the incredible editing/staging/photography - go Team Marion!) we can’t get enough of your great personality and actual love of the food you do so well. You can do no wrong! Just maybe do a cut of this vid showing just your final recipe and link it to the lengthy research for those who want the behind-the-scenes bits. Anywho, rock on Marion!! We love you.
I’m loving your cooking ideas. I’m from Canada and visited my aunt and uncle in Surrin for 5 weeks, oh it was like heaven. We ate fresh food daily, my favourite food is Thai food now. Even though I have a life threatening allergy to all alums (garlic, onions, shallots, etc) the food still tasted great. Now I try to follow you and the videos of my aunt cooking regularly when I can get Asian ingredients.
This deductive recipe creation process was brilliant! To the chickens who contributed to this grand experiment, thank you for your service 🙏🐔🍗
March 2023 - wow this has been soo helpful. I've watched many influencers do their fried chicken, yours has made me appreciate and understand the dynamics of each technique. Thanks.
Absolutely hooked on this!! Curious to see how air fried would compare to the oil fried
Woah that was super in depth. Thanks for spending so much time to do this!
I loved this style of video of doing tests on a bunch of different flavors and techniques. I would love to watch more of these videos with different cuisines!
One of my favorite episodes. Need more like this one of compare and test. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. :-)
I love love LOVE this. So much effort from you and the crew. Thank you so much!
Really loved this one!! Looking forward to more like this 👍🏼
My favourite: Definitely chicken Schnitzel Vienna Style: Fried in half oil half butter on low heat until golden brown, juicy inside, crispy outside. Coating: Flour, thin layer, second coating: a mixture of beaten egg, spices, mustard, third layer: fine bread crumbs mixed with paprika powder. The schnitzel must swim in the butter and has to be drizzled with butter all the time. Thank you dear marion for the incredible effort you put into this amazing teaching video. You did genuine scientific research 🤩😘
I absolutely love this. I love the explanations of how you got to the place you did, and your approach to all of it. This was fantastic, great job to you and your team!
I love the structure of this video - was so easy to follow. You explained so well what you were testing, why, and then once you found the best of that stage; the next step was also equally structured. Great vid!! I watch all of your vids Marion x
This is such a brilliant idea
Love how much this channel is evolving
Loved this format!! More please?!?!?
Loving the new editing & structure! I always liked the previous quieter, sophisticated cinematic style (other than the v artsy slow zoom-ins they did for a while. as I prefer the more instructional shots) - but I absolutely love this new editing approach. It mixes Marion’s sophistication & culinary professionalism with something that now reflects her obvious fun, quirky and sassy style. Love it. And hey, shed-loads of fried chicken never hurt… Hope this comparison series gets extended… :)
Thank you so much for your lovely comments but also your considered feedback. I really loved filming this episode and delving deep into the details of one topic more so than I would usually do. So I’m really glad you enjoyed the format and might like to watch more!!
Absolutely! You’ve always been v natural in the videos, esp those with yr lovely mum - and in these latest ones you can just see how much you’re relaxing & enjoying being yourself. And you’re saving us all so much time & food by trying out each version and explaining the pros, cons & outcomes so we can choose which to try first. Look fwd to the next one. Cheers :)
Lol, part 1 was hilarious and evil. Made me super hungry 😋. As always great detail and instruction.
This video was sooooo satisfying to watch. Great job Marion!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed watching this episode🤗
-Team Marion's Kitchen
This is very informative. It’s like you’re making a “final thesis” of how to make a good fried chicken. Thank you so much!
IMHO, every culinary student, home cook and even professional chefs should give it a watch.
I am living for Marion's Test Kitchen. And that fried chicken... my goodness that looked like perfection!
I admire your passion for Fried Chicken! Thank you for the in depth research 🙏
Thank you, for making this video. I have tried so many ways to achieve a great fried chicken. to see it compared in one video is so incredibly helpful .
Thank you for such an informative and tasty episode! Loved every single cooking tips given in this vid. Although I'm not a good cook, this is certainly a simple and easy to understand video for me to start off.
Cheers from BKK!
Love this new format ♥️
This is great! I cant wait to try! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Glad you liked it!
Loved this! You’re great as always!
This is some great science / cooking content. And I’ve always wanted to know these effects of these variables on the all important food: fried chicken. Great content and a great format idea as well! U r unstoppable Marion! Always something new and exciting 😍
Love this one! Learned my fried chicken recipe from you too!
The dedication is impeccable 🤩
I LOVE watching your videos! This one, though, was so much more fun to watch and packed with information since it was longer than your usual.
I'm terrible at remembering things! However, if there is a logical reason for doing things a certain way, I'm better able to figure things out instead of relying on my memory. Plus, it makes it easier to apply that knowledge elsewhere.
That's what you do, Marion. Your videos educate viewers with knowledge rather than merely presenting a recipe.
Thanks to you & your crew for going through such exhaustive work to present The Ultimate Fried Chicken! I hope you present more Ultimate videos.
Thank you so much for the time you put into this.
THIS VIDEO IS EXCELLENT!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARION!!
You're very welcome Feeny! Glad you enjoyed watching this episode 🤗
-Team Marion's Kitchen
So when is Marion's Fried Chicken chain store opening up? We need to have a taste of that perfect crunch.
cooking made easy... I love this
We don’t deserve you, Marion! Thank you for doing all the hard(home) work for us!
I love the crunchy taste
Marion you are the reason why I got into frying chicken so much lol thank youuu I love every chicken fried recipe I tried
Aw thank you Sia! So happy to know that you've enjoyed it 🤗 -Team Marion's Kitchen
Wow Marion this is a genius idea please continue the series.
This is def one of my favorites from you bc I wonder the same too! I’ve tried many different styles and honestly my fav is quite similar to yours except I do a wet batter instead of dry and I shallow fry and it’s great to me! Thank you for this! Def will try it out and more episodes like this please!!! It was so fun and interesting to watch! Sending you lots of love from sunny CA! 🤍
This is something I’d love to do, so thanks for doing it for me!
Wow! This is one of your most informative posts. You've answered so many questions I've asked myself but never bothered to test.
I can't imagine how much effort went into this post but I'm sure your viewers will appreciate it.
Many thanks.
I really appreciated the effort and thoroughness. I’m a scientist, and this was a nice, linear approach to experimentation, and it all looked so delicious! Thanks so much, Marion, you rock.
Thank you so much for this, so useful!
Fantastic effort, Marion (and team). Please please please do a video like this for crumbed chicken! I can't nail it haha
I love this video. Im sure it take a ton of effort to make but it's very educational for me!
Hats off marion :) such a hard work you put in to understand what makes it stand out. It's a great episode. Should do something like this every now and then... looking forward for air fryer recipes as well..... love love
Didn't know I needed this. Wonderful video Marion. Really thourough and I think you succesfully described everything that makes a really good fried chicken. yummy.😋
Glad it was helpful!
I love this idea!!! So interesting!
Hi Marion, so I watch alot and I mean alot of videos on cooking and I don't comment on any but I have to say this vid makes me want to, I appreciate you taking the time to get to bottom of it all.I have to to disagree on the wet marinade time as I feel in the buttermilk marinade 24 to 48 hrs does give more flavor. I appreciate you taking the time to go through all the steps. I love your enthusiasm and delivery of the topics, I am a fan, and your chili oil rocks!
I’m so very hungry now ! I’m glad we have similar taste . I wish I could have been on set for this week😇
Making me hungry yum I love fried chicken I must try this to cook
The crunch gets me EVERY TIME!!! I’m literally watching fried chicken testing on a Friday night. Yeah I’m definitely adulting.
Had a terrible day, but this cheered me right up. This video must have taken absolutely ages to make but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. Thank you very much Marion! Can we get more taste comparison videos please? lol
Thanks for your effort
So it is great to see the crews take after having to watch and work through the process with you🔥
I agree with the comment below. A series on curry's similar to this would be amazing. I absolutely adore your curry recipes. I'm actually making one today for lunch in about an hour. Thank you for this great video. You've given me some great ideas on how cook my next batch of fried chicken.
I love this video, can't wait for more
Really great effort.. really good work. Well done
Fantastic video!!! 💕
Just a question, please don't get mad at me. I know that this new format is reminiscent of BA's Test Kitchen but I don't think you can claim copyright on format. However, the audio you use sound really similar to theirs so my question is do you guys create your own audio in BA Test Kitchen's style or do you borrow theirs? I'm just asking cause I love this channel and I don't want you to get into trouble.
Absolutely Fantastic Marion 😁
Such a Wonderful effort you have gone to, all in the search for the best Crunchie Chicken.
Job well done 😁
I am making this real soon. My Janie and I love your recipe’s.
Please let this be a series! 😄
Hi Marion, big fan, been watching your TH-cam channel for quite some time now, I have to say that this video was absolutely brilliant, I have always wondered what would be the best way to make fried chicken. I think you covered it all. I Will definitely be trying out the recipe. Thank you
I loved this, I am looking for the best fried chicken for a few years, and you have made it so much easier. I will make your ultimate fried chicken for sure.
OK....Marion....GREAT VIDEO! Like you I absolutely adore fried chicken and like you, LOVE really crunchy coatings with a succulent juicy tender inside. I have tried, at one time or another, several techniques that you did here. As a lover of Japanese tempura, I find I get the best results with tempera flour + corn starch for a light and very crunchy coating, but never thought to do a wet or a dry brine before hand to increase the "juice" factor. Guess you know what I'm going to try next......Thank you for your detailed study of the ultimate fried chicken.
Oooh, in the middle of watching and you just mentioned doing a pickle brine, which is my go-to. Looking forward to seeing that! Amazing video. :)
Haha, yup! Delicious if you like your fried chicken to taste like pickle. 🥰
I grabbed my chest when you oven baked it. I had the same reaction when you commented about it its place among the fried chicken choices.🤣🤣
Filipino version (in my province of pampanga) marinade: calamansi juice, fish sauce, ground black pepper breading: beaten eggs and AP flour
Oh yum!! I should definitely make a Filipino version! Calamansi juice would be a great addition.
Love, love, loved this episode!!!!!!!! You have saved me time!!!! I will definitely be making this amazing fried chicken. If you want to make fried chicken properly, then you need to find the right method through and through!
Wow!!! Amaising as always..
Nice to see the team.
Thank you! The team says hi👋😆 -Team Marion's Kitchen
Cool video Marion!!! 😍
Dear Marion im learning so much from you! Ive never cooked in my life but now ive learned so much and its all thanks to you. Thank you for showing in depth. May i also ask. For the deep frying time how much time did you deep fry it the first time and then the second time?
This video is top tier
Who doesn't love fried chicken? My kids favorite.. and mine as well😄
My thoughts exactly! LOL
I don't have to scroll for 45min.
Thankyou
Your reciepe with tempura flour is the best chicken i have ever made :)
Love it!
2021 Mates! 😆This channel is fun. I see you have new fun stuff. The whole length of this video is well arranged
Bryan from Canada. This was one of the most interesting vids I've seen. Long yes but more informational than I've seen from anyone. Have been watching your channel for years and want to say how much you have inspired and changed my cooking techniques and flavors from around the world. Thankyou Marion!! Big huggss!!
Thank you so much Bryan! What a lovely comment to read :-) I really loved the experimental nature of doing the video and I actually learned so much...so hope everyone else finds it useful too!
Hi Marion. I use a flour and potato starch blend about 50/50 . Very crispy. I love all your recipes. Bless you and your family. Hope you try the blend. Much different then the corn
We should do this for all kinds of protein. Seeing different ways to cook is so educational.
Im getting BA test kitchen nostalgia here.
Marion, you are a warrior for doing this. Way to take one for the team eating all of that fried chicken, lol. I feel like I should be singing a paraphrased Queen’s “We Are the Champions” to 🎼“You are THE Champion, my friend!”🎶 Brava!!!
was hooked within 3 seconds of this video.
I actually think the method in your 10 (15) minute fried chicken video works great! It's my go to! Double fry and play around with the spices
So wish you had of tried potato starch to compare. I use it for my karaage. I will do a test to compare to the basic flour salt, double cook method. I keep cooking different ways but never like this which is the best way to compare. This has to be one of your best videos. I love test kitchen recipes to learn from! Thank you Masterchef!
