One of my favorite takeaways from Sam's vids that I use quite often are his different sauces. A lot of them have so many applications. I end up making some containers just to use throughout the week lol.
Sam is THE ONLY chef who'll admit if something like McDonald's is good and not be indenial about it. Unlike some other chefs.. just prove why he's the GOAT of all the Chefs on TH-cam, super down to earth lad
right, Mcds has been around for years nearly everyone has been to one and has gone back many times... but yeah it all sucks... it is what is and generally never tries to be anything else.
He's always catered to stoners though. His channel is mainly food entertainment. Not recipes the average viewer is going to attempt. Unlike Brian Lagerstrom or Kenji. Nothing wrong with that it's just not easy to compare them.
I cooked Sam's spice bag for the second time this week. After eating the recipe twice I totally believe the crunch is honest and this chicken looks as if it might be twice as crispy as the salted chilli chicken. I might have to combine the two and test just how awesome it might be 😎
Any food created at home is far more healthy and delicious than a fast-food joint. IMHO. Thanks Sam and crew for this production. The music and effects are outstanding!!
it's not healthier if it uses the exact same ingredients, assuming all them are fresh. so if we were to assume he used everything McDonald's does, it's the exact same. realistically the only thing different he did was add more seasoning, not much to discuss with health and paprike,garlic power etc. now it can be healthier to do it yourself, but that would usually mean not making it how others have. like vegan mean bs and nonsense like that. me personally, idc if it's overly healthy, we're here for a good time, not a long time, most people won't live to 100, first 18 you have little freedom and individual ability, then till retirement you'll be working a lot,and after maybe if you're lucky you'll have enough money to live comfortably much less have everything you want. considering all that, why waste time worrying about another week,another month,another year alive....learn to live before you die. hold on too tight and you'll see it all vanish before you can enjoy it.
Question kind sir... What if you took it next level and used Seltzer water... Instead of tap water? Should make nice air pockets to level up the crunch...
I'm curious, how do you decide when to use flour and corn starch, when to use baking powder and baking soda, when to make a batter like this, when to use eggs.. In general, could you do a tutorial on frying stuff, perhaps chicken in particular, but a chicken fried steak wouldn't be amiss.
I didn't even know Sam had a TH-cam channel. I grew up watching him on my local community broadcast at like 6 or 7am before I had to go to school. He made me want to try all kinds of different foods! Looking forward to continuing my cooking Journey with Sam!
Haven’t had McDonalds or any fast food in about three years. These look fantastic. I keep saying I’m going to make them, I will now. Love all 4 of the sauces.
I didn't think the chicken was processed like that, I could have sworn I saw the grain of chicken breast last time I had em which made me think they were just thinned breast meat cut with a cookie cutter shape
My husband and I are big fans! We started watching your show about 5 months ago. I broke my Ankle 4 weeks ago so I have binge watched your show for the last month. You guys are awesome and so fun to watch! Keep up the laughs and the delicious recipes. We made your Salisbury steak recipe...YUMMMMMY! THANK YOU! Your friends from Florida
Sam's have to be the superior nuggets all the others are not 100% Chicken some are not even half Chicken, Make your own and you will never eat takeout nuggets again
When you start stating that the most delicious nuggets are from Mc Donalds you make me question your sense of taste my friend. This statement undermines all previous content you made. 🤪😉
THIS! is why I cook most all our meals at home! thank you for this. my granddaughter and i will be making these soon. and yes i am teaching my granddaughter to cook.
There are actual names for the four (if I recall correctly from 30 years ago as a manager) shapes. I am sure it is on the internet someplace but I remember one is “The Boot”.
I love the recipes! My only criticism is that all of the recent videos seem very edited for speed. I felt rushed by how fast everything was happening; like steps were skipped. I remember when I was younger and watching cooking shows where you saw the chef mix ingredients in real time!
Sam you missed the part about mcnuggets having 40-70% filler. They're a chicken fritter, not nuggets. Big difference. Mcnuggets are overpriced by about 900% if you really understand what they are
@@Virtuenow pretty sure it's chicken (including the head, feet, beak, talons etc), it's just also a crapload of bread. Fritters are good homemade tho, easy too, def worth a try :)
I might have processed the chicken too much so next time, I'll make the pulses a bit shorter. That said, this was really good! I added panko to the mixture and that added a bit of extra crunch. Sam, it is YOUR FAULT 😄 that I've started using my air fryer, my Instant Pot and getting into the kitchen and making something! I'm a member of Les Marmitons International, a men's cooking group, and combined with that group and your tutorials...I"m in the kitchen! Thanks
My family loves your sauces. Ever since we saw you make ranch dressing (several years ago) we never went back to store bought. I just made all 3 of these for tenders and they were excellent. Thank you!
I love how you're nothing like the other cooks on TH-cam that feel it necessary to just bash the name brand product that they're trying to emulate just to make themselves feel better about what they put out. You actually praised the McNugget and then made your version. Classy and that's why I solely rely on your recipes and experiments now!
Up here in Canada chicken breast is like $7-$8 a pound now. Makes it fucking hard to make these for 6 people. Mind you, you could drop like $50 at McDonald’s so I’ll just shut up haha.
You’re sadly mistaken that McDonalds chicken nuggets are just chicken- they are an engineered amalgamation of god knows what. Oh,… they’re also covered in cornstarch so they fry up extra crispy
McDonald's food is disgusting I have not eaten there in over 20 years homemade chicken nuggets sound amazingly yummy ps-you just can't make anything without some kind of onion in it you would put onion on ice cream if you could🤣🤣🤣 which technically I suppose you can😂🤮

One thing I’ve learned is to never watch Sam The Cooking Guy………. On an empty stomach 😂😂😂
Sam is THE ONLY chef who'll admit if something like McDonald's is good and not be indenial about it. Unlike some other chefs.. just prove why he's the GOAT of all the Chefs on TH-cam, super down to earth lad
right, Mcds has been around for years nearly everyone has been to one and has gone back many times... but yeah it all sucks... it is what is and generally never tries to be anything else.
most of them can admit it. you only know this one. Guy could'nt make better tnuggets than mcdonalds despite spending $ and time
@@mikeh4613 eh, I made a better MCchicken at home that blindfolded wouldn’t be able to tell a difference
but maybe some just dont like mcdonalds we dunno
He's always catered to stoners though. His channel is mainly food entertainment. Not recipes the average viewer is going to attempt. Unlike Brian Lagerstrom or Kenji. Nothing wrong with that it's just not easy to compare them.
Awesome work, gentlemen. I could tell that that crunch wasn't fake. That is what cooking food yourself sounds like.

Those chicken nuggets looks super delicious Sam!😋😋
I've never had a Chicken McNugget in my life.
that buy or make question at the beginning, I agree on making them...as an employee, and eating them...while the boss ain't looking.
There are 4 official shapes. Bell. Ball. Boot. Bow-tie
Nice f*****g job Sam, as always. As you were blending the chicken, I was wondering if that wouldn’t be a good time to add some seasoning as well?
"There's probably only like 10 shapes"
Actually there's only 4, and they have names; ball, bone, bell, and boot.
There are four shapes of Chicken McNuggets. They are known as the Bell, the Ball, the Boot, and the Bow Tie.
Bone, not Bow Tie, but I can see how it could be seen as the other as well.
I worked at mcdonalds for a few years & one of the nugget presets is 1000% a mini USA lol.
Question kind sir...
What if you took it next level and used
Seltzer water... Instead of tap water?
Should make nice air pockets to level up the crunch...
Raise your hand if you've been watching SAM for a long time🤚
✋️
Looks great and just wondering why all the seasoning went in the batter and not any in the chicken when blended.
It's a simple flavor.
I'm curious, how do you decide when to use flour and corn starch, when to use baking powder and baking soda, when to make a batter like this, when to use eggs.. In general, could you do a tutorial on frying stuff, perhaps chicken in particular, but a chicken fried steak wouldn't be amiss.
In Japan, letting a sumo wrestler make your baby cry is considered good luck. And so is hitting like on this video I heard
I laughed so hard at this😂

😮😮😮😮u r just illiterate
Sam, you're so dang likeable. Thanks for these great recipes in a fun to view format. Don't ever change!
he's a pothead. you ever meet an unchill pothead? nope! lmao
McDonalds old dark meat nuggets were a thousand times better!
You should have also made a McSam's version of the nuggets with dark meat and spices.
No amount of shaming will ever deter me from enjoying Macdonald's.
Haven’t had McDonalds or any fast food in about three years. These look fantastic. I keep saying I’m going to make them, I will now. Love all 4 of the sauces.
I always love seeing the senator from Metal Gear cooking.
I hate nuggets from McDonald's, but yours, I'd eat!!! 🍻 boys
I didn't think the chicken was processed like that, I could have sworn I saw the grain of chicken breast last time I had em which made me think they were just thinned breast meat cut with a cookie cutter shape
good lookin' nuggets; i'll make them but i'll shape a little 'handle on the patties like McDons. Dips look yummy, ty Sam.
If you were going to actually make Mc Donald's Mc Nuggets you'd need to replace the Chicken with Soybean and Sawdust!
🤭🤢🤮

Stay safe with Helene over there in Florida
The only thing better than McDonalds chicken nuggets was Long John Silver's battered chicken tenders... So sad they went out of business.
1:52 dude really said McNuggets are "rustic" ;))
The only thing good at McDonald's is the hot mustard sauce. Everything else is f****** garbage.
I realize this is Not a cooking channel. It's a entertainment channel. So just go to McDonalds and save 10x the cost of just the ingredients.
Sam's have to be the superior nuggets all the others are not 100% Chicken some are not even half Chicken, Make your own and you will never eat takeout nuggets again
I clicked on this thinking it was a “But Better” from Josh😂
In the Uk they had a sweet curry sauce i wish they had here. It was the best ever.
Why didn't you season the chicken?
When you start stating that the most delicious nuggets are from Mc Donalds you make me question your sense of taste my friend. This statement undermines all previous content you made. 🤪😉
Aren't McDonald's nuggets made out of a pink oozy slimy goo like substance?
THIS! is why I cook most all our meals at home! thank you for this. my granddaughter and i will be making these soon. and yes i am teaching my granddaughter to cook.
Like the fries at McDonald’s the nuggets have to be hot to be good!
There are actual names for the four (if I recall correctly from 30 years ago as a manager) shapes. I am sure it is on the internet someplace but I remember one is “The Boot”.
Looks fun. gonna do it. Thanks for not faking. Anything. "don't eat shit, period" LMAO.
What’s in that plastic container on the sink? I feel like its beer…. Probably not though. I think I just want it to be.
I love the recipes! My only criticism is that all of the recent videos seem very edited for speed. I felt rushed by how fast everything was happening; like steps were skipped. I remember when I was younger and watching cooking shows where you saw the chef mix ingredients in real time!

Gimme that corn glue!
Oh, so that’s why they don’t taste like chicken to me. What’s in the chicken fritter? I mean, I taste pink slime - but what is it really?
@@Virtuenow pretty sure it's chicken (including the head, feet, beak, talons etc), it's just also a crapload of bread. Fritters are good homemade tho, easy too, def worth a try :)
That’s not true. I believe you may be reciting urban myth as though it’s fact.
If we freeze them for later use should we thaw it first or fry them frozen as is?
@SAM THE COOKING GUY I made these and they are bloody amazing and so easy to make! No more McDs for me 😂😂
The nuggets are not random - McDonald's chicken nuggets come in four shapes: the bell, the ball, the boot, and the bow tie.
The original dark meat McNugget was the best...
Absolutely, I miss it 🥲
I might have processed the chicken too much so next time, I'll make the pulses a bit shorter. That said, this was really good! I added panko to the mixture and that added a bit of extra crunch.

According to the interwebs, Mcnuggets come in 4 different official shapes, the bone, the bell, the ball, and the boot. 😆
Nice, except YOUR nuggets are 100% chicken.
Looks good, pretty sure McDonalds just uses Tempura batter :)
1st step, buy cheap, rubbish, chemical filled chicken
There are 4 McNugget shapes. The boot, bell, ball and bone.
If it’s not a whole piece of meat, why waste your time with baby food?
Loved this one. Nugget looked a little spongy .. was it?
The only thing McDonald's is good for is constipation.
Original chicken nuggets from mcdonalds were not white meat and they were better tasting then todays. Maybe worse for you lol but better tasting.
They changed.. they were crispy and golden you could peel off the layer of “skin” not its a gross breading and NOBODY SEEMS TO REMEMBER
I remember, they used to be so good in the 90’s w/the dark meat.
I'll definitely be doing this it's so simple and will be a welcome addition to my arsenal of recipes. These will be fantastic for parties I feel.
Would it be okay to season the chicken with what we season the flour before forming as well, or would that be too much??
Someone needs to send Sam a tiny whisk set….
DUDE, COLEMANS MUSTARD IS ENGLISH...DUH, NOT hot Chinese mustard, although, they run close...
They've never done it either, because they don't use chicken.
I don't know it's taste but i can be sure it's 100% healthier than McNuggets
Absolutely love the channel. So much great food. Fact that i’ll probably live 5 years less due to a heartattack is just fine by me!
I wonder, would these be better if you use whole pieces of chicken instead of ground up meat? Those sauces are killer, fit for all sorts of dishes.
Get the family together, made these and use all the hottest sauces in the fridge. Like first we feast. We have a blast.
the only reason I eat mcnuggets is so I can eat the BBQ sauce
Originally McDonald's had dark meat nuggets. I think they went out in the mid 90's.
So?
It's the only dry mustard worth buying!
I was googling last night how to make these...... how are you reading my mind?
Absolutely Amazing 😊 Thank You So Much. Delicious Cheers 🥂
Did you replicate the microscopic plastic detritus and trash that's found in the Mc Clown garbage?????
The conversion of spiced dredge to batter was a stroke of genius, Sammy. Great work as always 👍
That's pretty common nowadays.
That's basic cooking knowledge
My family loves your sauces. Ever since we saw you make ranch dressing (several years ago) we never went back to store bought. I just made all 3 of these for tenders and they were excellent. Thank you!
How dare you make me want McDonald’s nuggets at 2:45 in the morning
You forgot celery. These will have nothing on mcdonalds flavor.
...better than McDonalds...really

Just for a moment I thought you were going to do the Sichuan sauce like Rick and Morty lol
Chicken nuggets are my favorite menu from McDonald's. Sam, keep doing your thing!😂
The habanero honey would be awesome. 😋. I'm so doing that.
AMAZING…. MUST TRY 😇👍🏾👏🏽
OF COURSE I WOULD SEASON THE RAW CHCKEN MIX BEFORE SHAPING.
GREAT JOB MAN 👌🏾👏🏽❤️
Up here in Canada chicken breast is like $7-$8 a pound now. Makes it fucking hard to make these for 6 people. Mind you, you could drop like $50 at McDonald’s so I’ll just shut up haha.
It’s camping season Sam, got any good over the fire pit recipes? 🤔
He puts out of chicken nuggets video
Smoking and grilling with A.b puts out of catfish nuggets video
Conspiracy theory anyone? 😂❤
Update. Today I found the left over nuggies in the freezer. Whipped up the LJS coating and OMG PERFECT!
@8:50 that's a fuc#in plug!
You’re sadly mistaken that McDonalds chicken nuggets are just chicken- they are an engineered amalgamation of god knows what. Oh,… they’re also covered in cornstarch so they fry up extra crispy
I grabbed some ground chicken the other day to make chicken nuggets this weekend and you pull out this video? GET OUT OF MY HEAD
Theres actually only 4 shapes of nuggets at McDonald's. Bell, boot, bone, and ball.
Edit: Their box my nuggets and no "that's what she said?"
McDonald's food is disgusting I have not eaten there in over 20 years homemade chicken nuggets sound amazingly yummy
ps-you just can't make anything without some kind of onion in it you would put onion on ice cream if you could🤣🤣🤣 which technically I suppose you can😂🤮
Hey Sam..... You GOT to do your take on the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
Hey Sam. Am also a Sam.Your a TH-cam standbye. Follow You, etcNo You can't have my monies.$$hey Max & Chase.
