I loved trying another classic American recipe! Do you have any suggestions for me to try next time? Here's the biscuits and gravy recipe I tried last time: th-cam.com/video/gbuJIuAhjIQ/w-d-xo.html
As an avid chicken and waffle enjoyer, I might offer this one thing to try differently: When you made your hot sauce to put on the chicken you used honey, when you could have made a hot sauce for both the chicken and the waffles using the maple syrup instead.
Depending on the part of the country you're from chicken and waffles is wildly different. In south central Pennsylvania, an area steeped in Dutch and German heritage, we have Pennsylvania Dutch style which is a moist shredded chicken in a gravy (kind of like the sausage gravy and biscuits you tried but with chicken) and we put that on top of waffles.
A little side note: the "Dutch" in "Pennsylvania Dutch" is probably a bastardisation of "Deutsch" - they're Germans, not Dutch. They call themselves "Pennsilfaani Deitsche". The more you know... 🌈⭐
In the 17th and 18th centuries when the Pennsylvania Dutch settled, the word “Dutch” in English basically referred to anyone from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, or the low countries. Thus it’s not a bastardization as much as it’s an outdated term. Of course, Dutch, Deutsche, and Deitsche all come from the same root, and Germany didn’t exist as a unified state until quite recently. Basically anyone who spoke a Germanic language (besides English) we called Dutch back then. It’s only since then that the word Dutch has shifted to refer only to the Netherlands.
@@notanimposterYes, this. It’s also why for example Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character in the original Predator film was named “Dutch”, due to Arnold being from Austria, one of the “Dutch” countries of the day.
As you said, hot sauce isn't traditional on chicken and waffles, but it sounds great, and now I really wanna try Nashville hot chicken and waffles. In spite of the claims that a Harlem club started serving it (I don't want to say "invented," because it would surprise me if home cooks didn't do it first), these days fried chicken and waffles is largely a southern dish, so as a Yankee I'm going to have to make it myself or find one of the few good chicken and waffles restaurants in my area. Also, no problems with using boneless skinless thighs. A lot of restaurants use wings because frying them is so common, but just general pieces of fried chicken - thighs, drumsticks, wings, breast, whatever - is actually preferred, and I've seen places use chicken tenders, and even seen chicken nuggets and frozen waffles for the home cook who is in the mood for chicken and waffles but not in the mood for actually doing any work. (I've tried it, by the way; it's okay, and it scratches the itch, but as you'd expect it's definitely not as good as the real thing.) And finally, the pickle. It's extremely common to serve pickles (usually pickled cucumbers aka gherkins, but sometimes other kinds of pickles) in the South as a palate cleanser. I expect that's why it was originally served with chicken and waffles, but since it's such a good contrast with the sweetness of waffles and syrup, you're definitely eating it the right way now!
For the love of god Barry- the basket in a fryer is ONLY to remove stuff, never to place stuff. You leave the basket in, and DROP your things into the oil. It will form a coat before it touches the basket and prevent it from sticking.
Barry, you made that better than some American restaurants I've had the dish at!! That hot sauce looks freaking diecious... or shall I say stonking! If you made that in a restaurant I'd have to fly over to the UK to taste it!
Chicken and waffles comes to us from southern jazz musicians. You play music all night you want savory but those waffles smell so good so it just became a thing.
I find when adding battered stuff to a basket. Have the basket in the fryer and then drop in the chicken and shake the basket constantly until the batter has enough time to seal (a few seconds). It fixes that issue of it sticking to the basket. I cook fish and chips often as I'm from New Zealand so fresh battered fish is a common thing and this fixes the issue perfectly! Also the bro rocking the All Blacks!!
Man this video was just great, found myself wearing a grin all through! And having Gary on was a really fun addition! Chicken is very strange with how it cooks, a few weeks ago I was making chicken schnitzel and the recipe said 3 minutes a side, it felt so strange but having cut the thighs in half and hit them with the tenderiser, they all cooked beautifully, and any I had concerns with I just popped back in the pan for another minute or two a side, always so interesting how different methods result in such different products!
Barry here in Southern USA we also make bacon biscuts and gravy, just as good as the sausage version. I just fry up streaky bacon slices, save the bacon grease , add flour of equal amount as bacon grease Saute while stirring for about 3 min. Then add milk, or almond milk until desired thickness. Then salt and pepper to taste. Here we save all our bacon grease, this allowing to make bacon gravy at any time. So yummy! And to season beans.
I remember the story about how someone ate chicken and waffles at a Chili's in Dallas/Forth Worth Airport, and then a woman appeared next to her and started talking to nobody about the separation of church and state. Thing is, she didn't know whether the woman was real or a hallucination, because she was in DFW at the time, so it could have been either. That said, apparently she WAS running low on sleep, so it was probably a hallucination on her part. The fact that she had that experience with chicken and waffles, and still loves chicken and waffles, shows how good it is. And that's not even talking about her backside being at World's End, or how she met up a half-deaf knight and a 6'4" grizzly bear at an airport in Arkalina.
I would suggest trying the Pennsylvania version as well, it's completely different. Its more of a shredded chicken with gravy type thing. Feels more like a meal than chicken with waffles.
top tip, if your battered item sticks to the basket like that, make sure the batter is crisp, turn upside down, then smack with the flat of a wooden spoon, it breaks the bits that stuck ,and it will just drop out of the basket
Not a food that's common in my part of the country but one of the most famous regional dishes in the US is gumbo from the new Orleans area. I'd love to see you tackle it.
I just made a batch of gumbo over the weekend =) Our family makes it when we have a crowd over. There are so many variations on it, but I go with my grandmas recipe and use my mom's additions, cause it's what I grew up with. For holidays, we often make gumbo and jambalaya together. It always makes me a little sad to see gumbo at restaurants, because usually it's just peppers, sausage and tiny shrimp in a thin broth. =/
As an American that's always been skeptical of the dish, somehow the pickle made the whole thing sound better. Yeah, my whole life I've been like, "Why would I want savory chicken and sweet waffles together?" And you said, "Pickles on that too" and my brain went, "OH, that'd be great!"
I am well! Thanks for asking. This is a dish that is different in the way that the sound of it does a disgrace to the bliss that your tongue gets when mixing all the flavors and textures.
There's this restaurant here where I love ( Trieste, Italy) that's called "odio il brodo" ( which litterally means "I hate broth" 😂) that serves only chicken dishes (fried, oven baked, grilled etc) and one of the dishes are, in fact, fried chicken waffle. What they do, though, is also add popcorn dust on top. My eldest daughter absolutely LOVES it 😂❤ keep up the great work! ❤
Ok that is a beautiful looking plate of chicken and waffles. I was so excited to see you try this one! Nice job! 👏 Also now I too want that little fryer! 😆
I've had fried chicken with maple syrup in a poutine, and I can't get enough of it. But chicken and waffles I can't do, there's just something about the sweet waffles that pushes it over the edge. Combining them though, chicken and potato waffles sounds pretty nice to me.
That is good, but there is another way of coating the chicken for frying and that is doing Mustard Fried Chicken (Mustard is the bonding agent) for the hot sauce use Texas Pete. I was a doubter at first till I tried it, and now I'm hooked on it plus I don't have to pay a arm & a leg for buttermilk when mustard is dirt cheap. There are plenty of YT videos on how it's done.
Actually Barry the traditional way of frying chicken is in a cast iron pan with about an inch (2.5 centimeters) of oil in the pan flipping the chicken to cook on each side and to brown the breading
Pennsylvania Dutch are the Amish, not that Dutch people brought it over. :) I must say the biscuits and gravy were not quite what we eat though yours were...interesting. Good video
Don't know how you would get it, but Pennsylvania scrapple. With ketchup or maple syrup Is very good with a few eggs any style, hash brown potatoes. Toast and a cup of coffee.
Tried this last month at a place in Bristol - wasn't overly impressed - they used breast chicken which can be hard to keep moist - would have been better with thighs. And I thought the maple syrup was too sweet. Might have been better with a hot sauce - though I think Franks is a bit sour. Barry, if you're in Bristol - check out the Quay Street Diner.
Pancake mix seemed kinda thick to me I would have thinned it out a tad. Everything else looked amazing it always surprises me more places in USA for breakfast don't have this as a staple on there menus.
oh man.. chicken and waffles, one of my all time favorite dishes. WHen you talk about the complete meal, this is it. sweet and savory, spicy and tang.. it's got it all. I had the pleasure of having this at Gladys Knights place and my life has not been complete since then
I honestly think hot sauce was a big mistake, the simple charm of chicken and waffles is how the warm maple syrup combines the both of them into something better
PA dutch here. We are really German, not dutch. My father always loved chicken and waffles but it was with flour gravy with broken up chicken, sausage or ground beef. This was closer to Nashville hot chicken as the PA dutch don't use spices as they are thought of as sinful/wasteful.
Never heard of doing chicken with the hot sauce on it. But there is something magical when maple syrup and crispy fried chicken get combined. I think the maple complaints the chicken. I will have to try it with the pickles next time.
First off not the chicken and waffles expert here but it is like you are combining 2 different iconic american chicken dishes. In my travels I have never had chicken and waffles with hot sauce and pickles... it's just normal "southern fried" chicken (think KFC) and waffles with syrup... Nashville hot chicken is the fried chicken with hot sauce (quiet a specific hot sauce dip for the whole chicken and it's served on white bread with pickles... What you've made seems somewhere in between the two. I mean at the end of the day I think it works... but I am not sure you are getting either a pure chicken and waffles or nashville hot chicken experience. Regardless I would absolutely put a Nashville style chkicken and waffles in my belly!!
You got to marinate the chicken in the buttermilk and no egg. Put you chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce over night then toss in the flour let it sit then Fry.
you should always drop things you want to fry straight into the oil with the basket already in place instead of putting them in the basket and dropping it in together, and you've already discovered for yourself why that is - they stick
Always wondered, as a fellow British person, if the waffle mixture they use is sweet or more savoury. Like is it like the sweet waffles we would have for dessert, or more savoury. I guess as I can’t see how sweet waffles would go with savoury fried chicken? Guess I’ll find out today
From what I remember it's neither but it's been many, many years. The waffle is nothing more than a standard plain base and it's the rest that makes it sweet or savoury. So just like here in the UK. I may be wrong though as it's not something I have and things may have changed.
@@Elwaves2925as an American, I'd agree with this. If I were to grab a dry waffle with no toppings and bite it, the best way I could describe the taste would be "plain." Recipes don't tend to have sugar. In fact it's common for them not to have flavored ingredients added at all. So it ends up like a puffy, crispy bread, which you use to add toppings to when it's done! And indeed, that finished plate of "breakfast" tends to be absurdly sweet! But it comes more from the toppings than the waffles themselves. Of course there are exceptions and more gourmet recipes you can find that we will not turn our nose up at as well, but I'm describing the most common way you'll encounter them here... we love our waffles!
3:59 nope, no dutch relevance to waffles in america. waffles were widespread throughout europe already, and the "pennsylvania dutch" that you mentioned earlier were/are actually german, not dutch (the name pennsylvania dutch comes from the german word deutsch, which means german)
The Pilgrims discovered the waffles in The Netherlands and took the idea with them to the States (about 1620's), where the Dutch immigrants in New Amsterdam (on their behalve) made them way more popular. Now I know that these kind of waffles are quite a bigger thing in Belgium than in The Netherlands. And in the 1620's, Belgium and Netherlands were one country. So it is entirely possible that it's a Belgian idea which is called Dutch. But I am not sure about that.
Hey Barry, I'm actually going on a trip to England next spring, never been before but do you have any recommendations as far as most go places or really nice restaurants? Honestly I was already looking into Alton Towers, but I'm terrible at looking up places XD
If you're going to London, I can recommend both the Regency Cafe for a trad 'greasy spoon' that been featured in movies and The Wolseley (for high-end posh) for breakfast. Each are an experience - but expect to queue at the former and book for the latter. Hawksmoor - a top-end steak house - used to do an amazing breakfast for two - but that sees to have stopped since C19.
Its Pennsylvania Deutsche not dutch. And you should consider making Pennsylvania Deutsche chicken and waffles which is shredded chicken in gravy with mashed potatoes and waffles
Barry, love your videos....to tweak the flavors just a bit why not marinate the chicken for an hour or so in the buttermilk mixture. and then proceed with the flour and buttermilk again ending with the flour. Hope this tip is of use to someone. Don't leave the chicken in the buttermilk too long (a day is too long) it does start to break down too much. Jim Mexico
I tried Asda's attempts at this dish earlier this year, and theirs was awful cos they used generic sugar-glazed waffles, and it was just too sugary combined with the chicken (which was reasonably good chicken for pre-packaged stuff!!), but this version sounds so, so much better... :D
Not me instantly recognizing the boyband quote as a 5ive song 😅 🙈 oooh those good old times...9yr old me having their posters basically cover all of my original wallpaper 😂 Which coincidentally my mom was completely fine with, as we've (me, my siblings and cousins) previously sorta ruined the 'David the gnome' wallpaper with speech bubbles making them say dirty stuff.. for as far as we knew any dirty stuff 😂 and very colorful drawings 💩🙈 /im sorry end of flashback 😅💀 Also... got kinda scared there you would have them sticking to the heating element after you left the basket out 😅 living on the edge 🙈 Not sure if the waffles came from the netherlands perse, maybe Germany, as the Pennsylvania Dutch were probably "Deutsch" which means German. We do love our pancakes here, but I prefer them with our local "Friesche vlag stroop" which basically is an elevated sugary syrup. Dont really like the maple syrup that is sold here, I went to my aunt in Vancouver once and their maple syrup tastes way better... even though the ones in stores here, supposedly is from Canada 😅
I was making deep fried chicken balls once and they also got stuck in the basket. Took me ages to poke through all the little squares to release the batter. It's not a good thing to get your balls stuck anywhere.
I loved trying another classic American recipe! Do you have any suggestions for me to try next time?
Here's the biscuits and gravy recipe I tried last time: th-cam.com/video/gbuJIuAhjIQ/w-d-xo.html
Try the new england and clam chowder Barry! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
See the Hash Browny at Quay St Diner in Bristol, Barry.
Barry you must try new orleans' gumbo and rice, it is phenomenal, u could also maybe try a crawfish boil but that is if you get those in the uk :)
frito pie, with homemade chili
Cincinnati chili would be a fun one to see what you think, it's contreversial

@@owllymannstein7113Ooh, now I wanna hit up the Amish market near me and see if they've got that, sounds amazing.
I used to work in a restaurant that serves chicken and waffles, but the syrup had chili flakes in it as a kind of hot syrup, and it was really good
"Thats really really nice😐"
"I could eat this all day everyday😐"

So glad you did this one! I've actually never had chicken and waffles (I live in west Michigan). Might have to give it a try!
When you fold in something, turn the bowl counter clockwise.
Best hot sauce I have is, melt butter into Frank's with garlic powder. Heat til butter is melted. You'll love it! 😊
DEFINITELY hot sauce on the chicken; so dang good with the maple syrup

I got an off topic question Barry. Where did you get the cool t shirt from?
3:59 nope, no dutch relevance to waffles in america. waffles were widespread throughout europe already, and the "pennsylvania dutch" that you mentioned earlier were/are actually german, not dutch (the name pennsylvania dutch comes from the german word deutsch, which means german)
It looked delicious 🥰🥰
The 5ive reference 😂❤
The Pilgrims discovered the waffles in The Netherlands and took the idea with them to the States (about 1620's), where the Dutch immigrants in New Amsterdam (on their behalve) made them way more popular.
Now I know that these kind of waffles are quite a bigger thing in Belgium than in The Netherlands. And in the 1620's, Belgium and Netherlands were one country. So it is entirely possible that it's a Belgian idea which is called Dutch. But I am not sure about that.
As an american from the south, I myself have never had "chicken and waffles"... bacon yes, but never chicken 🐔
Hey Barry, I'm actually going on a trip to England next spring, never been before but do you have any recommendations as far as most go places or really nice restaurants? Honestly I was already looking into Alton Towers, but I'm terrible at looking up places XD
If you're going to London, I can recommend both the Regency Cafe for a trad 'greasy spoon' that been featured in movies and The Wolseley (for high-end posh) for breakfast. Each are an experience - but expect to queue at the former and book for the latter. Hawksmoor - a top-end steak house - used to do an amazing breakfast for two - but that sees to have stopped since C19.
Its Pennsylvania Deutsche not dutch. And you should consider making Pennsylvania Deutsche chicken and waffles which is shredded chicken in gravy with mashed potatoes and waffles
You could have got away with calling this "2 Guys, One recipe" 😂
2:41 Ashens easter egg!
2:45 Hello Ashens
Barry, love your videos....to tweak the flavors just a bit why not marinate the chicken for an hour or so in the buttermilk mixture. and then proceed with the flour and buttermilk again ending with the flour. Hope this tip is of use to someone. Don't leave the chicken in the buttermilk too long (a day is too long) it does start to break down too much. Jim Mexico
Sharing is caring 🎉
I tried Asda's attempts at this dish earlier this year, and theirs was awful cos they used generic sugar-glazed waffles, and it was just too sugary combined with the chicken (which was reasonably good chicken for pre-packaged stuff!!), but this version sounds so, so much better... :D
As a Canadian, the is no such thing as too much maple syrup....
As an American who has never been to Canada, I concur. (And yes, I only use real maple syrup, not that colored flavored corn syrup stuff)
The Pennsylvania Dutch were descended from German immigrants. It's Dutch anglicized from "Deutsche"
waffles originated in Ancient Greece? according to google. I've never seen this dish with hot sauce all over it
Nice work, but you should try it with drums and thighs.............
Sweet dessert items combined with savory meaty items are just wrong on so many levels!
I like Fried chicken and I like waffles with syrup but I don’t like syrup on my chicken, I eat ketchup with my chicken.
Goddamn, now I definitely want chicken and/or waffles.
Not me instantly recognizing the boyband quote as a 5ive song 😅 🙈 oooh those good old times...9yr old me having their posters basically cover all of my original wallpaper 😂 Which coincidentally my mom was completely fine with, as we've (me, my siblings and cousins) previously sorta ruined the 'David the gnome' wallpaper with speech bubbles making them say dirty stuff.. for as far as we knew any dirty stuff 😂 and very colorful drawings 💩🙈 /im sorry end of flashback 😅💀
Also... got kinda scared there you would have them sticking to the heating element after you left the basket out 😅 living on the edge 🙈
Not sure if the waffles came from the netherlands perse, maybe Germany, as the Pennsylvania Dutch were probably "Deutsch" which means German. We do love our pancakes here, but I prefer them with our local "Friesche vlag stroop" which basically is an elevated sugary syrup. Dont really like the maple syrup that is sold here, I went to my aunt in Vancouver once and their maple syrup tastes way better... even though the ones in stores here, supposedly is from Canada 😅
Pennsylvania Dutch is a wrong English translation of German
I was making deep fried chicken balls once and they also got stuck in the basket. Took me ages to poke through all the little squares to release the batter. It's not a good thing to get your balls stuck anywhere.
I love how careful you had to be not to offend Americans (I am one 😂) 😂🎉
Am I totally losing it... Or did you say hello then Stuart said it quietly in the background?
Lángos would be nice Barry, wink wink :p
so only thing left to do is bacon pancakes
That's a very normal American breakfast 😂 dip the bacon in your pancake syrup, it's amazing!
Drooling !!!!!!!!!!!!! @@amandaribofpalmetto
