No one seems to notice that she's combined the recipe for Italian Chicken Marsala with Indian Chicken Tikka Masala and come up with this odd abomination.
Sandra might not be a good cook but she had a difficult childhood yet made sure her younger siblings had enough to eat and for that I would always wish her well. She did the best she could as a child with what she had & that too for her siblings which I find endearing.
I had a more or less similar childhood. I had been cooking for my siblings since I was 11, started taking on a parental role 7. Sandra Lee makes me want to start my own cooking show. I’m not charismatic but my struggle meals are much better, I’d say. I’m glad she succeeded in life even if she is a bad cook.
Wow...you can definitely tell that Aunt Sandy didn't have her "perfection" act down. She's like all over the place crazy: dump ingredients haphazardly, pick up chicken with fingers wait, no, use the tongs, took a few tries to get the chicken evened out on the presentation plate, warbling about the spice and then clarifying the directions repeatedly....Well. I suppose even "the best" had to start somewhere.
she is laughing under her breathe. It is thinly veiled at warm and enjoyable cooking approach. But really, she is thinking 'HAH, I cannot believe I am getting away with this. "
You know, as much as she's getting into the food prep here... she'd have been better off asking Andrew to head to Queens and pick up some actual Indian food.
Even with my limited knowledge of Indian cookery, I could tell you that don't add peas and coconut milk to a chicken masala (which happens to be a classic Indian dish). Absolutely hideous.
@@hoobaguy ugh, keep your rudeness to yourself. he said his knowledge is limited, and saying that coconut milk is a staple in "most" curries ain't right either; most curries use tomato or onions without needing coconut milk/yogurt or anything :3
I saw Chef John of Food Wishes make this same dish and he pretty much did the same thing sans the peas. The seasonings and amount may be waaaaaaay off but I'd still eat it.
:O I didn't notice that until you mentioned it! And it is kinda irritating! Apart from the fact that the dish she made has absolutely nothing to do with a real chicken masala, no curry powder, seasoning or herbs, the chicken is not supposed to be coated in flour, and it's supposed to be diced or at least cut into pieces. What she made is dish consisting of floured, spiced chicken pieces served in a mush pea gravy on top of some overcooked rice.
***** No it's not just you, I can't sit here and watch her massacre the culinary art without commenting, so no I don't judge her silently, I'm vociferously protesting against her. Haha. I'm drawn to these culinary comedy skits by morbid fascination, I think. Can't tear myself away.
Nathan Barnes Finally, someone has put it into words. I also like the occasional better recipes and actual cooking tips flecked throughout the comments.
Did she have a Red Bull bfor filming this epi? She's talking a mile a minute and shuckin' n jivin' all over the place, throwing stuff in the bowls like a crazy person. This isn't 30-Minute Meals, Aunt Sandy!
The idea of using condensed chicken soup is actually not far-fetched. Many butter chicken and tikka masala recipes do use chicken stock. The additional herbs will add flavor too.
Her fridge must smell like onions all the time if she just puts them in zip lock baggies not to mention that those were diced onions not chopped that's a huge difference and in the end it just looked like a plate of crap soup....who puts soup on a plate! ?!?!?
Don’t try this at home. Just don’t call it chicken masala. It is a sort of chicken with gravy sounds good in theory. It’s just not enough the deck Indian curry.
wow. why is this kind of blatant cultural ignorance okay? it would have taken someone on her team 10 minutes tops to google an authentic recipe for chicken tikka masala, and it's actually simpler than this hate crime. there is no excuse for this. none.
oogenesis But that’s what Aunt Sandy is famous for. Her methods of making pre-packaged meals look “homemade” are so protracted and convoluted, you could’ve saved more time and money just making the exact same dish from scratch.
Sandra. Im apparently speaking to you decades later. This is so horrifying. This is not masala in any form. You are taking so many privileges that would probably get you executed. It's almost ironic the shortcuts you make bc true indian food doesn't take shortcuts. However, you continue to fascinate me. I keep watching your Ridleys Believe It Or Not recipes bc looking away has proven impossible
Thoughts as this episode went along: Hmm, okay so you didn't season your flour...whatever, that's not too bad. Hum, sort of deglazing pan with onions and garlic and some liquidy things. Doesn't chicken masala have yogurt? Cream of chicken...? Jesus fucki-HOLY SHIT PEAS.
I love how on this video the comments are incredibly serious all the other ones treat it as it should be taken. A huge fucking joke. But I love this drunk lady who cannot cook.
People always love to criticize how others prepare recipes. Many complain how long the video is from the chopping and mixing so she shortened the process...big deal . My problem was the size of the chicken breast! Those are obviously loaded with hormones! A normal chicken doesn't have breast the size of a VW Beetle!
Is what she's cooking suppose to be Chicken Marsala? Chicken Marsala is an Italian-American dish of golden pan-fried chicken cutlets and mushrooms in a rich Marsala wine sauce. I know cuz I've made the dish many times lol
Yes. Because we Indians always add Cream of Chicken Soup to our curries, all the time.
Amrita Chowdhury You’ll looove it, it adds great flavor
When i think curry i think Campbells

Yeah because when you think of Indian cuisine you think of...cream of chicken soup?
Was that even half a can of soup she put in, looked more like a heaped dollop...
yes, besides it's not chicken masala at all... it's more like a chicken curry to me.
it’s her take on it
@@JillCoatney There's fine Tweaks any ☆ Can make/have it There Way it's 🤪 easy 4 beginners Lol

This Gives Great Flavor
did... did she just use the tongs from the raw chicken on the cooked chicken??
Not necessarily. Editing.
No one seems to notice that she's combined the recipe for Italian Chicken Marsala with Indian Chicken Tikka Masala and come up with this odd abomination.
“Now we need a big plate for this dish” *brings out a fuckin wok*
Did anyone notice how fast she tries to make everything ? She wants to get to the cocktails asap lol .
😂😂😂
I learned that her boyfriend is the Governor of New York which explains why this show even exists. She's sort of like Kevin Federline.
I think this was way before
Sandra Lee is worth about 20 million bucks. Look it up!
She had her cooking show WAY before Governor Cuomo. She got it during her marriage to a billionaire, I think around 2005-2007.
@@sophialove7245 It was 2001-2005 and then she started Cuomo in 2005 right after her divorce and they broke up in 2019. But you weren't off by much.
@@sophialove7245 She's literally only worth that because of all of the cookbooks and endorsements that came from this show.
how is this just a decade ago??? looks like its from the 80's. from tge hair, the food prep and her makeup
Did she say "Come here honey" to the flour!? Absolute icon!
Did this drunk PTA mom just say "Come here, honey" to the flour?
I simply cannot.
THIS ISN'T INDIAN FOOD. THIS IS BARELY FOOD.

I think its kind of funny. She's sweet.
I am simply unable to can

That’s OK because the raw chicken juice adds great flllllavor.

This. Gives. Great. Flavour. This. Smells. Amazing.

Forget the food, Aunt Sandy, that haiiirrrrrr 💀🤭😭
Your ugly fake fucking eyelashes are worse.
Okay buddy

As an Indian I'm crying and laughing at the same time after watching her cook up that abomination 😭😆
I'm Chinese and even I feel offended
I watch Sandra cooking to be horrified and nauseated. It’s ALWAYS Halloween on Semi Homemade!
I like how she keeps saying it's amazing, as if to try and convince herself that it actually is.
God I just love her hair here
If you want to see a great recipe, check out how Food Wishes does this. Similar but as far removed from this recipe is as Pluto is from the sun.
Anyone know whats the image on her shirt? She wears the same one in eggs benedict money saving meals but they blur it out...
i saw that too
June Cleaver!
Even with my limited knowledge of Indian cookery, I could tell you that don't add peas and coconut milk to a chicken masala (which happens to be a classic Indian dish). Absolutely hideous.
Ummm... coconut milk is a staple in most curries. Tikka masala is a curry. So keep your limited knowledge to yourself next time.
Coconut milk is common in many South India curries. It's just that her way to put it in is very wrong
@@hoobaguy ugh, keep your rudeness to yourself. he said his knowledge is limited, and saying that coconut milk is a staple in "most" curries ain't right either; most curries use tomato or onions without needing coconut milk/yogurt or anything :3
So she floured the chicken in unseasoned flour. Ok...
what if sandra lee is just the biggest troll who ever lived?
Actually the USDA strongly discourages rinsing your chicken. Look it up.
I wanna see this lady eat her food unedited
Pretty colors in the kitchen decor!
Instant white rice?
Seriously, how hard is it to make rice?
She is amazing at not actually cooking. For a look into her mastery watch - Sandra Lee No bake love cake.
SUCH GREAT FLAVOR
I saw Chef John of Food Wishes make this same dish and he pretty much did the same thing sans the peas. The seasonings and amount may be waaaaaaay off but I'd still eat it.
Chef John used cream of mushroom soup in Chicken Masala ???
Lies. I just went to watch. Chef John's recipe looks wayyyy better. Omg. It may not be authentic but it's 1,000x better than this.
So not only did she use condensed cream of chicken soup to make chicken tiki masala, she also suggested you flavor the rice by cooking it in broth...
God bless I'm not Indian but I at least had the common sense to use Google and not just throw some spices in a gravy like concoction.
Indian isn’t even apart of my cultural heritage but I am offended by proxy.
So she has frozen pre-chopped onions. We all saw that, right?
I mean, as low as our expectations were going into this, no one saw that coming.
No wonder Gandhi went on a hunger strike ...
😂😂😂
@2:21 the tiniest bloop when the chicken gunk hits the sludge. I can't.
How does she come up with these recipes ?

They're also good for crushing "biscotti cookies"!
With an extra 5-10 minutes of prep time, you could make a REAL meal.
