this was the very first Sam video I watched, and that night i decided to make this dish. it has sense become one of my wife and i's favorite meals. I was never much of a cook until i started trying to recreate his meals. just wanted to say thanks for all the help, and confidence to try and make new things. I'm eating much better now!
Henrik then you don’t know what you are missing out on.. Some nice juicy thighs covered in my favorite sauce make the majority of the best memories of my live. The rest of the favorite memories have something to do with various chicken dishes..
I know this'll be buried in the endless void of comments but for anyone who wants to make this but doesn't have access to gochujang (like me), you can use miso paste and red pepper flakes as a substitute and it tastes the same. This also applies to any other dishes with gochujang
Totally making this. I bought some Gochujang because I felt like I needed it but haven't used it yet. It was just waiting for this recipe. I am more of a chicken breast kinda girl. I don't care for the taste and texture of thighs and legs. Too greasy? No idea. Just don't like them much. And who the eff downvotes this video? Haters.
When you said "spicy GARLIC fried chicken," I thought you meant 'spicy garlic, with fried chicken', not 'fried chicken with a little garlic in the sauce.........' I need more garlic! LOL
Agreed, but I think just add more garlic than he did and it will get to where we want it. Or better yet, saute little garlic just to get the fragrance then put that in sauce mix. Shit just made stomach growl. I can almost taste it
Made this last night. Had to substitute wheat flour for potato starch, but the double fry came out really nice. Added more garlic (lots more) some extra sauce. I like more heat, but this is a great base.
Ok Sam, my wife and I are apart due to work and I am just renting a room in San Clemente. I have been watching your show every day while I eat dinner. I so wish I had what you where cooking instead of the sandwich I’m eating. I don’t have a shove or oven to cook. I am adapting some of your techniques in my frugal cooking so thank you. Can’t wait to get a home cooked meal again. Keep up the good work because your my source of entertainment.
Went to Sam's not not tacos today, Kelly's shrimp tacos were WONDERFUL and they didn't overcook the shrimp. Can't wait to try GRAZE the menu was wonderful. So glad they are open again. thanks, SAM !
Neither the title nor description said this would be an AMSR video! Lol. The snow powder sounds of the potato starch covered chicken and the white noise of the twice chicken in the big bowl made it worth listening to with headphones! :)
Sam, I made the chicken using your double fried method. It was crispy and delicious but I made a habenero orange sauce to coat the chicken after it was cooked. Placed this chicken in top of cooked jasmine rice, and garnished with chopped green onion and cilantro. Very delicious, thanks for the inspiration!
On a cross country road trip and have watched plenty of Sam (not driving). Time flying by and laughing and learning. No politics, no movements, no bullshit. Thanks for straight amazing entertainment and knowledge Sam. #MACA
Sam's recipe is like civilization. The chicken is the people. The government is the crunchy, grease-laden layer that surrounds it. Now... some people like a thick layer of government, but I propose that if you can make things every bit as crispy, but with a thinner layer... then thin government makes for every bit as good a fried chicken as a greasy one.
Hello Sam, I just subscribed a few weeks ago and watched almost every video of the last 2 years. And I have to admit U R incredible. Your easy and clever way of cooking and that hilarious sense of humor is definitely outstanding. Thanks for all the content and recipe ideas I stole. Keep on cooking! Greetings from Germany and btw we have some good stuff too if U need some inspiration.
I'm a manager at a super market in the middle of Iowa and we do have gochujang. I just laugh about how people compare us to the middle of nowhere. Love your channel and making your recipes!
Wow that chicken looked and sounded amazing! How many times do people say “that food sounded amazing”!!! Just ordered ur knife and can’t to get it and start using it!
My gf got me one and it hasnt showed up yet. We knew it was gonna take atleast till the begining of August but, nothing yet. I wish they provided tracking information. None the less I am pumped.
I just made this exact recipe for the first time tonight, and I was in fact so happy I made this. It’s crazy how fast and easy the chicken was to prepare, and the sauce was AMAZING! Thanks, Sam
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I love fried chicken and I am always trying in improve on it and I am wondering what would happen if I use potato flour, regular flour and a little corn starch. My next project may be those three combined with a perfect batter I came across. I wish I could find that Goccugang in my area, but all I can find is the more liquidy one. Thank you again!
Every time Sam has a fly around, all I can think about is the "Fly" episode of Breaking Bad. Sam, you should make food found in movies. (Harry Potter, old westerns, etc.)
Hi all! Sam, just made this for the kids and I. Amazing! So super crunchy. Haven’t used potato starch before. We will keep it in the cupboard from now on. I actually met you several years ago in San Diego at a NACUFS conference. (You set the hotel fire alarm off but who’s counting that stuff) - kids and I are big fans. Keep it up!
NO Shame!!! If he ever had some IOWA corn right out of the field he'd lose it ! If he had a tenderloin he'd be begging for our forgiveness. A Maidrite would put him in a nursing home :)))))))
Made this tonight with one modification. We didn't have the Korean pepper paste, so I tried Sriracha. Had to cut it with a little ketchup because it was a tad too spicy. What I ended up with was delicious, and my family of six was fighting over the final pieces of chicken. Great recipe - thanks!
Funny thing you mentioned potato starch sounding like walking in fresh snow. Foley artists (people who make sound effects) often use corn starch and walk on that on to create the sound of actors walking in snow.
My wife and I love this recipe. Was just rewatching before making again tonight! Commenting to ask: what are those beautiful green plants just over your right shoulder? Lol they look deliciously familiar…
Made this tonight just swapped the Korean spicy garlic for Buffalo sauce and my family went insane. Easily 10000000000000% better than any fried chicken I've ever tried to make. Takes a while to cook but like 0 prep time. Will do this one again.
6:52 "Look, if you're in the middle of Iowa, and your supermarket is a place called Bucky's, probably not finding this". Reminds me of the overall general area of Ohio that I live in.
I'm in Ohio, as well. I feel it! In my hometown I would never find Gochujang but we moved to Columbus about 12 years ago and I can find just about anything if I look hard enough.
Man I have to say you're the most enjoyable chef on youtube or elsewhere. I really love your videos and my wife does too. Thanks so much for the entertainment and the recipies and instruction.
9:48 "honestly its like I'm stirring rocks..." well, ya did cook those small ass pieces of chicken for 16 total minutes, they probably are rocks now...
@@Nova-Soul He cooked the first batch 8 minutes, the second batch 8 minutes. Let them cool put them all back in for another 8 minutes. Total of 24 minutes. Each piece cooked for a total of 16 minutes.
Delighted to see this on here this morning when I got up. We’ve been doing a very similar recipe for Korean wings - awesome stuff - tonight we were planning on Korean fried chicken (thighs) and waffles, because why not!
One thing to note is that chicken thigh meat is very resilient to overcooking since its laced with fat. That being said, I have no idea on fry times so they may very well be overcooked.

"Are you a thigh person or breast person?"
NEEDS to be a t-shirt!
Breast ALL the way, cant stand tighs
Henrik then you don’t know what you are missing out on.. Some nice juicy thighs covered in my favorite sauce make the majority of the best memories of my live. The rest of the favorite memories have something to do with various chicken dishes..
I enjoy both.
tw S
It’s because these comments are meant to sound lewd lol.
depends on what's cheapest.
My (Korean) wife and I at the same time: "Needs more garlic."
Same.
Agreed. Maybe even a bit more saucy?
ofc more garlic :) ... if say garlic something 1-2gloves wont be enought :)
If it says 2 cloves, minimum 5.

Good to know! Great info for people in rural areas. Luckily I live in a town with a lot of Asian grocery stores!
Yes!! Double fry is the key to these babies
Hey Sam, middle of Iowa here. My supermarket, Hy-Vee, sells gochujang. The 10+ Asian markets within 30m do too. Keep up the great work guys.
Ayee Iowa gang
Yerrrrr!!! I went to Iowa central up in fort dodge just outside Ames 🙏🏿✊🏿 hy-vee got some bomb rotisserie chicken 😭
Represent
I live in Fort Dodge
Lol knew there was gonna be some butthurt person from Iowa to assure us the whole state isn't just corn and the smell of cow shit

Never thought about using potato starch for my fried chicken, always used corn starch 😊
Do you think it makes that big of a difference? I’ve always used corn as well
It really doesn't make a difference at all
Cornstarch is the traditional thing to use in Asian cooking
Try sweet potato starch. That's what I use when I make my Taiwanese fried chicken.
Cornstarch is my go to for this, it’s very much the same.
I love the sound of his knife when he cuts the chicken
When you said "spicy GARLIC fried chicken," I thought you meant 'spicy garlic, with fried chicken', not 'fried chicken with a little garlic in the sauce.........' I need more garlic! LOL

I know that's not gonna happen, but it would be so cool if you did a short "after" video where the team tries the food and chats.
Wow. Just made this. Just like you said super crispy nice heat. Thanks for the recipe.
Sam: "If you live in Iowa and your supermarket is a place called Buc-ees"
Me: *stares in Texan 😠🤠*
Cries in Iowan.
I’m lucky if I can find Sriracha in most stores 😭
Also staring in Kansan.
Instantly went down to the comments after he said that lol. Had to make sure I wasn't the only one who got triggered hehe.
Forgive him, for he knows not what he says... and not Texan

Appreciate Sam for making korean fried chicken. His reaction when he ate the chicken cracked me up, he threw his hands up and pounded the table 😂
Is that actually korean fried chicken. I thought it might've been Karaage.
@@spm04 Yep. The coat seems like a karaage style for me. Korean fried chicken should follow the wet batter + dry powder method just like the OGs.
I swear his reaction is the same in every one of his vids
@@spm04 feels a little like taiwanese popcorn chicken the way he cooked it
What do you do with the used frying oil? do you filter it and store it for later? Can you talk a bit on what your process is?
On a cross country road trip and have watched plenty of Sam (not driving). Time flying by and laughing and learning. No politics, no movements, no bullshit. Thanks for straight amazing entertainment and knowledge Sam. #MACA

Yes!

I need to do it
This is amazing hahaha DEEPROT enjoying some sam the cooking guy videos 😂
Wtf never thought I’d see the deep house channel I’m subbed to on a Sam video lmao. Guess anything is possible!
same
It's been 5 months. Have you cooked it yet?
Hello verified person
This video officially made Sam an ASMR TH-camr.
I'm going to have to try this one soon. If it's anywhere near how good the Chinese BBQ ribs turned out, I'll be ecstatic!! Thanks Sam 👍
Which chinese bbq ribs are you talking about? I checked and seems he has a few asian rib recipes
What he said

I love watching yo videos gives me ideas for cooking for my kids
Sam, please do a loaded mashed potato bowl like kfc has. Mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken, corn, etc. I think your twist on it would be amazing!
Yessss!!!!!! I agreee !!! Sam please do it !!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuck. Easy enough to make.
I'm a manager at a super market in the middle of Iowa and we do have gochujang. I just laugh about how people compare us to the middle of nowhere. Love your channel and making your recipes!
The Koreans are wonders to the culinary world
Amazing dish! Made this dish with white rice and sad I didn't make more. Thank you for making this, I wouldn't have tried it if it wasn't for you :)
Greetings from Iowa, both Wal-Mart and Hy-Vee carry it 🤘 Good item for some spice in asian dishes!
Living for all the ASMR in this! We need a Sam does ASMR episode!!
Recipe for video:
1 part cooking
3 part verbal abuse
But the verbal abuse it what makes it fun!
😂😂😂
He gives us only the finest and properly seasoned abuse that has been marinating for years...Some people make wine, he makes abuse :)
Must be new here
When Sam ends a video with "Look..." you know he's proud of the meal he just crafted and is about to drop a humble brag.
Sam's all about sounds on this episode, lol!
I made this chicken tonight for supper - the double fry is what I've been missing! Very tasty 🤗
I grew up in Iowa, 10 min from a grocery store everyone called Bucky's!!
I am in the middle of Iowa! We have it here at Hy-Vee and we have an Asian market. Good video by the way!

Binging with banish does that
Sam and Max should do the back to back cooking challenge 2 ep each person gets to instruct the other. Best dish wins
"I'm not gonna give a shit about the fat.. what I am gonna give a shit about is this fucking fly!"😅🤣☠ he makes me laugh so damn much!!
Hi all! Sam, just made this for the kids and I. Amazing! So super crunchy. Haven’t used potato starch before. We will keep it in the cupboard from now on. I actually met you several years ago in San Diego at a NACUFS conference. (You set the hotel fire alarm off but who’s counting that stuff) - kids and I are big fans. Keep it up!
Love to hear the Iowa shout out and then immediately recognized where he was going, then I just felt shame.
Im so sorry
NO Shame!!! If he ever had some IOWA corn right out of the field he'd lose it ! If he had a tenderloin he'd be begging for our forgiveness. A Maidrite would put him in a nursing home :)))))))
Loved this recipe! It was awesome. I added more garlic. It was still crispy the next day. What a treat! Thanks!
Hello from the middle of Iowa. Our Markets still have gochujang :p
My hubby from the other room yelled that when he heard it said.
first time i see a video of this guy, and i subscribed at 2 minutes. you are a great man
My dad used to make it a competition between my sister and I to kill bothersome flys winner would get a buck.
Hey Brian,did you deep fry them in potato starch?
A buck? That’s a child labour.
You're generous. In my family, the winner got food.
Well Sam, this freaking recipe is sooo good, we made it twice in the same day!!! The crunch and sauce are amazing! Thank you!
Today we learn, Max likes his meat white - and uncomplicated
Part of that sentence needs to be a t-shirt!😆👕
I see what you did there. Lol. That's foul. Funny though
Let's just say all women, I mean meat are complicated.

Funny thing you mentioned potato starch sounding like walking in fresh snow. Foley artists (people who make sound effects) often use corn starch and walk on that on to create the sound of actors walking in snow.
"George likes his chicken spicy..."
I made this today (kind of. Teriyaki instead of gochujang). Added some sesame seeds and chives. Divine. Thanks for the encouragement.
Def a thigh guy, but camera dude is right-sometimes a less complicated cut is better.
Love the commentary! How about bourbon chicken, smoked macaroni and cheese stuffed and bacon wrapped burgers, pumpkin cheesecake (marbled style)?
Me: I think Ima do some chicken this weekend, I wonder what could I make
Sam: I got ya boy
"If you're in the middle of Iowa & the market' is Bucky's you won't find it" hilarious!! Awesome recipe!!
I made some fried chicken last night. I’m going to have to make this now.
Oh man, fried chicken is the best! 😊
Danlicious Food yeah, it’s great. I fell off the fried chicken wagon last night. Lol, haven’t had it in a while.
Sauce sounds great. Would be good doing it with pork rib fingers also and yes. More Garlic
Sam my fiance asked when your next cookout is and when we can expect our invite. I'll bring the beers!! 😁
Love the potato starch idea. Gonna make a variant of this for sure. Keep on rocking Sam!
Best wings I’ve ever had were in a Korean restaurant. Had chunks of garlic and red pepper. 🤤
Sams are probably better
Graeson Games never had Sam’s but.. Spicy Garlic wings brought tears to my eyes.
My wife and I love this recipe. Was just rewatching before making again tonight! Commenting to ask: what are those beautiful green plants just over your right shoulder? Lol they look deliciously familiar…
Needs fried garlic chips on top too
Yes it does!!! It has so much flavor!
Made this tonight just swapped the Korean spicy garlic for Buffalo sauce and my family went insane. Easily 10000000000000% better than any fried chicken I've ever tried to make. Takes a while to cook but like 0 prep time. Will do this one again.

Lol when I make my imitation chick-Fil-a I cut my pieces up in about the same size and total cooking time is...4 minutes.
8 minutes for the first batch, the 2nd batch is 8 minutes. so in total after 16 minutes... they are done
@@Nova-Soul He cooked the first batch 8 minutes, the second batch 8 minutes. Let them cool put them all back in for another 8 minutes. Total of 24 minutes. Each piece cooked for a total of 16 minutes.

Millennial complains about " complicated chicken" everyone else rolls their eyes!
Sam. Made this at the weekend and wife and friends we blown away ha thanks 👍👍👍
Thighs have so much more flavor than breasts and it isn't even close! I also feel like thighs are much easier to cook without drying them out
This is simple yet fantastic 👍🔥
Sam: "and let us know if you're a thigh person or a breast person"
Me: "brea...."
Sam: "and we're talking chicken..."
Me: "Dammit!"

For someone who advertises his own restaurant, I've see him do the 5 second rule a few times 😅
That black presenting/chopping/whatever board (4:09), anyone knows where to buy it?
Google black circular chopping board , the rest is in your hands young squire
Tiny pieces of chicken fried for 16 minutes ? Must be cooked to death no? Takes less time to fry a bone-in piece of chicken ?
Agreed, i double fry chicken cubes with batter and its tops 3-4 mins per batch. these must be super overcooked
350 Fahrenheit or °C?
@@B3NJ04 definitely F
One thing to note is that chicken thigh meat is very resilient to overcooking since its laced with fat. That being said, I have no idea on fry times so they may very well be overcooked.
Definately to long 😂😂😂
Hey Sam, what ratio salt to pepper do use when putting together your mix?
Was about to comment on what I prefer, then it was clarified they are talking chicken.... ;-)
Hahaha
Thanks for the inspiration for the sauce! Makin this tonight :D gonna be so good. My mouth is already watering
I feel like I'm watching Seonkyoung Longest.
HAHA, yep....just made her Kkanppunggi Korean Spicy Garlic Fried Chicken Recipe the other day
This is now one of our weekly recipes, my fiancé and I are OBSESSED, easy to cook too.
I strongly prefer thighs over breasts when it comes to chicken and when it comes to.. sorry, nevermind haha
amen
Hi ! Can I use arrowroot powder instead ? Our diet doesn’t allow potato starch . Thanks for video :) !!!!!
I'm actually an ass man myself.
im not about to eat chicken ass
