I’ve been a chef for 14 years and I’ve been telling people to brine their chicken first instead of using buttermilk, it’s got more flavor and helps the chicken keep its moisture
No. The batter falls off because people don't rest the chicken after applying the flour. They just batter up and throw it in the fryer. Let the buttermilk hydrate the flour first and then put it in the fryer. It's that simple.
@@christianknickerbocker604like 5 min maybe less I used to just throw mine in after flour and I always had it falling off you let it rest while your oil temps up and it makes a world of difference
Bih i rolled out the bed hollaring crying laughing waiting for him to fry the chicken in boiling water then i read the comments i struggled typing this😂😹😳
Buttermilk has nothing to do with the crispy batter falling off. It has to do with how much extra water is in the chicken, most chicken is water chilled which causes it to absorb extra water so it shrinks more when cooks. If its air chilled chicken it'll shrink a lot less and the batter will be stuck to the chicken. The more you know 🌈⭐ Edit: all you boneheads think I'm wrong go watch Ethan Clebowski's recent video on chicken, touches on the topic of water versus air chilled chicken
buttermilk has a lot to do with this, for exactly the reasons you provided. Buttermilk is already mainly water, and then different stores sell different consistencies of dairy product but universally still call it buttermilk. If your buttermilk has more water than someone else's and you don't use less to account for that, your shits gonna be soggy
There are many ways to cook. Buttermilk is fine for me, never have an issue with it sliding off but this looks fine too. I prefer the flavour of the buttermilk batter myself
Yeah, it usually works fine if you double dredge it with Buttermilk. He is exaggerating a little bit. Also, using Wagyu fat as the frying oil makes it even more delicious.
I hate the texture of most buttermilk fried chicken. Then, a lot of people batter the hell out of it to the point where the fried batter leaves a gap when you cut/bite into it...not to mention the underside is 9/10 gummy and gross.
@hgs09 That's because they are frying it too fast. All they need to do is turn down the heat. I will stick with my buttermilk batter. Korean chicken is crispy, but lacks in flavor compared to mine.
For super crispy chicken it honestly all comes down to the thickness of the batter and the temp of the oil. If your batter is too thin and the oil not hot enough during immersion you will have breakup every single time. The batter needs to be at a melted ice cream level of consistency. Thick enough to be a slow pour if you poured it out. The thicker the batter the thicker the crust. However the thicker the batter, the harder to cover the chicken. Thus always think "melted ice cream" level consistency and check the temp of the oil every single time.
@@beneg417 That's why I suggested the consistency of melted ice cream as the level of thickness for the batter. This is a very smooth and really thin consistency; but not so thin that it doesn't stick to whatever is being coated.
Yeah I have no idea what this guy is talking about. I fry chicken or cubed steak at least once a week with buttermilk and Tony's and it never falls off.
I started buying meat in bulk, and vacusealing it and keeping it all in my deep freezer. It makes me plan a little more, so I know what I’m preparing. Take food out of the freezer usually 48 hours before I intend on cooking it, and for the most part, that allows me to brine a lot of what I want to make, either dry brine, or marinade/wet brine. Since I’ve started doing it that way, a good bit of prep work is always done the day before, and day of cooking is much easier. And food is always way better. I got really tired of my issues with procrastination, and patience, and cooking better food was a good motivator for me.
As a southerner born and raised, you NEED that flavor from the buttermilk! Korean fried chicken is good, but it's really all about the sauce. Southern fried chicken has a better flavor on its own and I'll die on that hill.
Respectfully disagree brother and I'm from the south too. Buttermilk isn't needed for a ridiculously flavorful moist piece of crunchy fried Chicken. Water is better
As you can tell from the name, I agree. He just brined that chicken to keep it moist while frying. If you cannot brine it for long, the buttermilk for 1/2 hour will do. The chicken needs to be dry, crack an egg and rub your chicken down. The crunch in Korean fried chicken is they add some rice flour to the seasoned flour. BigEatWorld just ran into BigBack Popsie from Louisiana. We know chicken 366 ways.
@@therightdude Nah the wet batter strat is real but only if you use a mix of corn starch and flower, and its more for making it stay crispy (especially after being sauced, like Korean fried chicken is) than keeping the breading on.
Try sparkling water when you make the batter. I do this on occasion and it comes out really good. I also add a bit of potato starch to the dry ingredients, it adds a bit more of a crunch.
Wet batter with no dusting is more common in Korea. Pre-made batter mix is usually used. Flour, potato starch, baking powder with seasoning are the basic ingredients if the mix isn't available. My family is Korean. I have made this many times. Yours looks amazing! I wouldn't consider ot Korean, but I'm sure it's very delicious. Thank you for sharing 😊

Maangchi KOREAN FRIED chicken: GARLIC-, GINGER- rubbed chicken wings/pieces with salt and pepper; STARCH - coated ( NO liquid); Double fry; Chile - flecked, Candy-coated sauce toss. Top with green onions Peanuts Sesame seeds 😊
It's called wet batter, and is often used when specifically deep-frying, unless you want a thin/light crust. You can do it with all kinds of different liquids/ingredients, including (very commonly) buttermilk, eggs, etc. Alternatively, if you're simply pan-frying (shallow oil) you can usually skip wet-batter, since it'll start to melt off while one side of the food frying.
Butter milk has acidity that breaks down proteins in chicken and makes it more tender. Things like vinegar and pickle juice have acidity too, so that also helps.
Unless you're going to rest it and buttermilk overnight, just using buttermilk in the batter is not going to do all that, hence where the brine with all the salt comes in
Here’s why cream, or buttermilk, or raw milk is used. Not for flavor, or to hold batter, it’s specifically used for tenderizing the chicken. The acid in buttermilk/raw/cream does this. Heavy cream has less acid however, does the same trick. It’s not meant for ‘batter’ so to speak. You can take it out of the milk, or cream, rinse it off, and still use a water based batter. Just a little information to dispel any confusion. Happy cooking.

@@Nyabennahhave you never heard of beer batter? I think that's weird for that guy to put on his chicken wings but it's good on fried broccoli or mushrooms
The consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil is the key! It doesn't matter what the batter is made with. Consistency and temperature are the keys!
@@r.rodriguez4991 that’s why I said most, there are less restaurants that use buttermilk than ones that don’t. I don’t think a single fast food chicken spot uses buttermilk
Water for those who don't have buttermilk. Grandma cooked fried chicken with buttermilk, so did my mom, so did my aunts, myself and every adult person that cooked from childhood and never had a problem with the batter falling off. It's about how you make the batter and the temperature of the oil.
Kprean fried chicken is double fried. Thats why its so crispy. Marinade and batter styles differ but its is the double fry that sets it apart along with the available sauces.
There is nothing wrong with his technique. Looks good. BUT if your buttermilk/egg assisted batter comes off, its because you didn't let it set up. After you dip in your buttermilk /egg you go directly into your dry dredge. When you remove it LEAVE THAT MEAT ON A TRAY FOR A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES. Don't even turn on your oil till it's been almost 20 minutes. By the time it heats up that dredge has had time to set up properly. It won't fall off. I promise 😊
@@wilmarainwater5333 Lol... I'm professional adjacent. Spent 20 years of my life in catering and restaurants without getting chef credentials and the 15 years before that in the kitchen with my Grandma.
@bigeatsworld respectfully I disagree! . Koreans do not use AP flour. They use a percentage of potato starch and typically rice flour. Different regions use different marinades and batters and dredges. But the potato starch is the common thread. Using brined instead of marinaded can cause different effects yes. The buttermilk causes the enzymes to soften and break down in the chicken. And can make it hard for the dredge to stick to the chicken once it’s heated. Other things can also do soften or tenderize like pickle juice, papaya, strait amylases powder, pineapple juice, vinegars or lower PH mirin. Brines (water high salinity) for chicken are great but working the breading is a different facet. Dry aging your chicken after marinade or brine is key for crispy chicken!!! Temperature and whether you use liquid carbonization or leavening agents in your mix. That causes the tempora effect. Also, adding egg yokes to a dredge or batter will affect the shape and crispness of the batter. Gastronomy is a whole world you may want to research more good friend.
@@DevArt59Stainless steel is ok. For metals it has to be non-reactive. Aluminum and copper would react with the brine and you’d ruin your meal and the bowl, probably.
@@tsubtw yea I’ve seen some Reddit post of someone brining in metal and their meat literally turned grey, not sure what the pan was but figured I’d pass the rule of thumb along, play it safe and avoid metal pans/containers for brines
If you want it very crispy like most Asian places do, fry it twice. in the first run, fry until cooked inside and almost golden brown outside. Then fish them out and wait for the oil to get back it's high temperature. then go for the 2nd run and make the skin even crispier. It also fries out the excessive fat/oil.
@@KaeMaiden lol you can see the chicken skin is still stuck to the chicken meat. if he cleaned it (under the skin to remove all the gunk and slime) the skin would be loosely around the chicken.
You dont need to wash your meat tho. It's an old fashioned habit. You can safely eat packaged meat without washing it. You can look that up too. @@aurora.8065
Playa... I'm from a home cooking melanated household. MOMMA, GRANNY, GREAT GRANDMA, AND UNCLE BUBBA BEEN FRY'N THAT YARD BIRD FOR AGES.... In the kitchen, on the wall phone with that super long spiral cord, watching general hospital, drinking a pepsi, and us waiting patiently cuz we can hear thar sizzle, smell that aroma and see that slight smoke in the house. We got this. Glad you finally made it. And don't ever say "brine" again.
I made a damn bird bath - IN MY KITCKEN! 😡 It’s kinda cool but wtf I’m gonna do with this? There’s batter in the bath bowl and it’s in my freakin kitchen..
smart for taking off the label on the water and not showing no labels for anything else my guy said not free advertising over here not in less you paying me👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽💯💯💯
They sale NEw Orleans style batter, very simple. Just need some Ice cold water and the batter mix. It comes out perfect! Also, it helps to use a proper pot or large skillet and not over crowd the chicken.
The secret to outrageously crispy chicken is ANIMAL FAT. I saved the drippings when my mom made baked porchetta (or in my country, lechon pork belly) and I used them to fry my chicken. The downside is I couldn't share my delicious bird with Muslims. Beef fat is also excellent for fried chicken. Any fat with a high smoke point is good for crispy frying. I learned this from a Chinese man who owned a fried chicken stall in Cebu, and his crispy chooks cost only 30 per piece (the pieces were so huge) complete with either rice or fried sweet potato
Personally what I noticed when using buttermilk is if you let the chicken rest before cooking right after breading, the batter doesn’t cling on and starts to separate/fall off but if you pop it in the oil right after you coated it with the flour mix it comes out perfect. I’ve tested it by making 2 batches and the chicken that didn’t rest was nice and crispy while the other barely was struggling to keep the batter on it.
Never had this problem. I personally let mine sit for 10 minutes and the batter and breading cling to that bird so lovely you’d think they were engaged in some indecent behaviors.
THANK YOU ! I followed exactly BUT used different spices for tilapia and chicken. Everything else just as you diected. Omy what a treat.

Brine is great but so is buttermilk which changes the viscosity of the chicken and makes it more tender. Both have their own merits

just fried chicken yesterday using milk and batter was intact and crispy
Use beer next time and try it that way. Its also great and it actually is crispier
Milk is OK too.
But some of these batter mixtures to make them fluffy just make them fall apart.
@@42ZaphodB42beer and flour for batter???
@@Nyabennahhave you never heard of beer batter? I think that's weird for that guy to put on his chicken wings but it's good on fried broccoli or mushrooms
Beer batter fish and onion rings is soooo good
" This is the actual way but slightly different " LOL
The consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil is the key! It doesn't matter what the batter is made with. Consistency and temperature are the keys!
Meanwhile thousands of restaurants use buttermilk with no problem and their chicken actually comes out tender because of the acid.
Exactly
Exactly
Most restaurants don’t use buttermilk, it’s what the tv chefs use
@@17thwboy So when I go to a restaurant and order the "Buttermilk Fried Chicken" they aren't using buttermilk?
@@r.rodriguez4991 that’s why I said most, there are less restaurants that use buttermilk than ones that don’t. I don’t think a single fast food chicken spot uses buttermilk
There's TAPATIO in them hills.
Thank you very much for giving the recipe‼️‼️
Water for those who don't have buttermilk. Grandma cooked fried chicken with buttermilk, so did my mom, so did my aunts, myself and every adult person that cooked from childhood and never had a problem with the batter falling off. It's about how you make the batter and the temperature of the oil.
Yes ma'am. You are 100% right
💯
Club soda
Absolutely 100%
Also about the second dip that he apparently doesn’t know about. 😂
I use buttermilk all the time. Batter never falls off
yeah buttermilk is a W
W
only falls of if you double Coat it with flower.
They need to add eggs to it so the batter doesn’t fall off.
Use an egg batters fine I’ve never heard of water
Kprean fried chicken is double fried. Thats why its so crispy. Marinade and batter styles differ but its is the double fry that sets it apart along with the available sauces.
That's why he claimed his way was how Korean chicken was fried "but slightly different" meaning it ain't fried that way at all. Lol
My dumbass thinkin he's gonna fry the water 😅
There is nothing wrong with his technique. Looks good. BUT if your buttermilk/egg assisted batter comes off, its because you didn't let it set up. After you dip in your buttermilk /egg you go directly into your dry dredge. When you remove it LEAVE THAT MEAT ON A TRAY FOR A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES. Don't even turn on your oil till it's been almost 20 minutes. By the time it heats up that dredge has had time to set up properly. It won't fall off. I promise 😊
Could you please send me your resume ipe: you sound professional ❤😂😅😊

Lol... I'm professional adjacent. Spent 20 years of my life in catering and restaurants without getting chef credentials and the 15 years before that in the kitchen with my Grandma.
Thank you so much beautiful
@bigeatsworld respectfully I disagree! . Koreans do not use AP flour. They use a percentage of potato starch and typically rice flour. Different regions use different marinades and batters and dredges. But the potato starch is the common thread.
Using brined instead of marinaded can cause different effects yes. The buttermilk causes the enzymes to soften and break down in the chicken. And can make it hard for the dredge to stick to the chicken once it’s heated. Other things can also do soften or tenderize like pickle juice, papaya, strait amylases powder, pineapple juice, vinegars or lower PH mirin.
Brines (water high salinity) for chicken are great but working the breading is a different facet.
Dry aging your chicken after marinade or brine is key for crispy chicken!!!
Temperature and whether you use liquid carbonization or leavening agents in your mix. That causes the tempora effect. Also, adding egg yokes to a dredge or batter will affect the shape and crispness of the batter. Gastronomy is a whole world you may want to research more good friend.
Yes
There’s a reason why he said slightly different not exactly the same
He should have said significantly different
Batter fried chicken?

"Let this brine overnight."
You lost me there.
Lost me again when it was in a metal bowl, heard somewhere you shouldn’t brine in metal
@@DevArt59Stainless steel is ok. For metals it has to be non-reactive. Aluminum and copper would react with the brine and you’d ruin your meal and the bowl, probably.
If you’re still worried about eroding the stainless steel, just use glass
@@tsubtw yea I’ve seen some Reddit post of someone brining in metal and their meat literally turned grey, not sure what the pan was but figured I’d pass the rule of thumb along, play it safe and avoid metal pans/containers for brines
We finna be starving in 24 hours 😂😂😂😂

What?
@@BingMansoftmac you’re a tapatio npc 😭😭😭
I agree.
@@ovishootswide9599Its the comments that are cringe and unfunny
the breading falling off is from not drying the chicken off good before your breading procedure. Not form using buttermilk.
If you want it very crispy like most Asian places do, fry it twice.
in the first run, fry until cooked inside and almost golden brown outside.
Then fish them out and wait for the oil to get back it's high temperature.
then go for the 2nd run and make the skin even crispier.
It also fries out the excessive fat/oil.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most Asian places tend to go half Flour and half Cornstarch as well.
Liars
@@TallicaMan1986not corn starch but potato starch.
You’re welcome
This man said the batter would've flew off already 😂
He didn't lie. It doesn't hold, or it'll be too thick
the way he didn’t clean that chicken tho… i know it’s slimy ew
@@aurora.8065How do you know it wasn't cleaned? You didn't see him take them out of the pack.
@@KaeMaiden lol you can see the chicken skin is still stuck to the chicken meat. if he cleaned it (under the skin to remove all the gunk and slime) the skin would be loosely around the chicken.
You dont need to wash your meat tho. It's an old fashioned habit. You can safely eat packaged meat without washing it. You can look that up too. @@aurora.8065
Playa... I'm from a home cooking melanated household. MOMMA, GRANNY, GREAT GRANDMA, AND UNCLE BUBBA BEEN FRY'N THAT YARD BIRD FOR AGES.... In the kitchen, on the wall phone with that super long spiral cord, watching general hospital, drinking a pepsi, and us waiting patiently cuz we can hear thar sizzle, smell that aroma and see that slight smoke in the house. We got this. Glad you finally made it.
And don't ever say "brine" again.
you seen them put chicken in a paper bag to shake the flour on ,
You know it.
I second that ☝🏽💯🫡
Mfs really thought he was going to fry chicken in hot boiled water yall wild
I will stick with the way momma taught me. Butter is amazing no loss crust here
Can you explain it for me? İt seems interesting i wanna try it
Exactly what I thought, don‘t use oil and the crust stays on, also the taste will be much better.
Instructions unclear: accidentally made boiled chicken
Accidental soup
I made a damn bird bath - IN MY KITCKEN! 😡 It’s kinda cool but wtf I’m gonna do with this? There’s batter in the bath bowl and it’s in my freakin kitchen..
He made Popeyes style fried chicken without all the extra stuff. Marvelous.❤❤❤
What extra stuff?
Extra stuff like what
At first I thought I was gonna save myself 150 bucks 😂
I would use sparkling water instead of normal water. Ive tried it many times before and it becoms super crispy

They sale NEw Orleans style batter, very simple. Just need some Ice cold water and the batter mix. It comes out perfect! Also, it helps to use a proper pot or large skillet and not over crowd the chicken.
Yum!

The secret to outrageously crispy chicken is ANIMAL FAT.
I saved the drippings when my mom made baked porchetta (or in my country, lechon pork belly) and I used them to fry my chicken.
The downside is I couldn't share my delicious bird with Muslims.
Beef fat is also excellent for fried chicken.
Any fat with a high smoke point is good for crispy frying.
I learned this from a Chinese man who owned a fried chicken stall in Cebu, and his crispy chooks cost only 30 per piece (the pieces were so huge) complete with either rice or fried sweet potato
How is not having to share with a Muslim a "downside"?
This is the way popeyes gets crispy chicken
We already know that.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@victore8342cause some are really nice and respectable people? What's the problem dude?
Personally what I noticed when using buttermilk is if you let the chicken rest before cooking right after breading, the batter doesn’t cling on and starts to separate/fall off but if you pop it in the oil right after you coated it with the flour mix it comes out perfect. I’ve tested it by making 2 batches and the chicken that didn’t rest was nice and crispy while the other barely was struggling to keep the batter on it.
So mans got a skill issuev
You are absolutely right. Good fried chicken is a labor of love.
Never had this problem. I personally let mine sit for 10 minutes and the batter and breading cling to that bird so lovely you’d think they were engaged in some indecent behaviors.
Exactly I normally put in the fridge for about 30min before cooking job done 😂
Breading?
