POPEYES Hands down. I just found your channel and am borrowing as many recipes as I can print from you. Love your straight forward presentation and how you prepare your food. Cheers from Houston, TX!
To me the key to a great Buffalo Wing sauce is ground celery seed. I like a lot, 1 tsp per 6 oz of butter. More typical is 1/8 to 1/2 tsp. Of course original Buffalo Wings aren't breaded. 20 minutes in white vinegar, pat dry, deep fry naked. Toss in sauce. Serve with blue cheese dip. But there's many varieties.

The past couple months I’ve been getting into my wings, been grilling them outside. I found the baking powder has added so much to it. I’m going to have to incorporate these new techniques. Thanks guys, awesome stuff as usual.
The broth in the marinade is such a clever touch. You're making chicken, why would you not want it to taste more like chicken? And fully agree with flats, they're the best part of the wing by a country mile. Love these videos, you guys are so incredibly clever about your cooking. Artistry paired with knowledge, you love to see it.
Wow, thanks for sharing this method! I’ll definitely try it And yes on the flats 👌🏻 Can’t wait to visit London again and finally try one of your restaurants, cheers
"Rome wasn't built in a day" Think about that when learning anything new...You probably will fail a fair bit until you achieve the result you're looking for but it certainly doesn't come that easy lol.
You'd be SHOCKED at how good of stuff you can make at home. I'm always amazed at how things come out even on the first try and then it gets easier and easier and you can find ways to edit things to make them more to your liking. It took me 38ish years before I ever started cooking. You can do it!
Confidence is key even when you’re learning the trade and it’s a brand new concept to you, if you don’t trust in yourself you’ll find it much harder to absorb and retain the info, sure the seasoning maybe a touch off, but all in all, you got this. And then overtime it becomes your own
WONDERFUL video, at first I was skeptical because of the thumbnail's comparison to KFC (the absolute worst lol) - The chicken wing is an absolute work of art, personally I love them brined then grilled and Buffalo sauced brushed multiple times but your process is fantastical here! I don't typically do breaded wings but if you can't find tapioca starch, a good sub is potato starch (Korean fried chicken style). Also, thank you for calling out that "real" Buffalo sauce is made with Frank's and letting us know why you use Sriracha. Loved that and they looked amazing, Chef!
I love that you're combining fried chicken with chicken wings -which can be two very different styles of cooking chicken in the States. For instance, I prefer my wings grilled or smoked versus fried. I reserve frying for the larger cuts - drumstick, thigh, and breast or tenderloins. As a southerner and fried chicken enthusiast and loyalist, I'd say your technique is pretty spot on regarding the preparation and dredge for creating a nice crispy, crust. You do not have to do the Buffalo-style elements in the initial coating if you're not wanting a buffalo style to fried chicken and can get by with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, cayenne, baking powder or flour, cornmeal (or the tapioca powder which I've never used). The egg white wash is critical in helping add a bit more crispness as including the yolk definitely softens the finished product. As far as which chain's fried chicken is superior, that is a big debate and possibly a very contentious one: 1. Bojangles 2. Chick-Fil-A (brined in pickle juice prior to cooking) 3. Church's 4. Popeye's 5. Mrs. Winners 6. KFC - and I will fight somebody over this list so bring it.
Never had Bojangles, not sure I can let Chick-Fil-A be on this list because they’re not a “fried chicken spot.” I don’t think Church’s is better than Popeyes though, and I don’t know if you’ve ever had Metro Diner, but it should be on your list. 🤺
@judichristopher4604 well you sprinkle with corn starch and knock as much off as you can it drys the chicken out and the fat from the skin fry the corn starch and makes it crispy.
It's definitely a good measure. Also achievable easily if you just wrap them nicely and tightly with a nice double layer of tin foil if you don't have a steamer and pop just a thin layer (1-2mm) of chicken stock on the bottom and if youre in a home oven just add another 10°c to account for the lack of air flow. The aim of the game is to soften the meat up without drying it out. So, any measures that do that will help. Hope this helps 😊
I had a pack of wings in my fridge so I just knocked this up, well the marinade for now. They're sat in the fridge again marinating away. Can't wait! Thanks for the video ☺
I really enjoy your videos and have done quite a few of your recipes at home myself from TH-cam (the BLT is a favourite for example). You mentioned chick n sours and I love them too as we have had many food boxes from them (we've not been to London for years so the opportunity to try from home was perfect). Any chance you could offer some food boxes for home delivery to experience your food without needing to go to London? (I live in Cornwall for perspective)
Hey, great vid! I'm from Poland. My first really great crispy chicken was The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich made at home from Joshua's 'But Better' series. Hundred times better than local KFC!
Looks incredible. I like to make fried chicken but it’s always a little too much work, I should find a simpler recipe than the one I use. But honestly, frying in general is often a pain in the ass
Great Video! Is it possible to confirm the amount of salt for the dry dredge? You mention 95 grams, but the video doesn't show any salt being put into the bowl. Thanks in advance.
Why does sriracha feature so in so many of Fallow's recipes? Is it just a less work-intensive way of combining garlic and chilli in your dishes or is it something else?
As the process is quite tedious, would it work making a bigger batch ahead of time and do all the steps until right after the coating & cooling and then freeze them? Or would it be better instead to do the whole process and then freeze?
Can you check the recipe in the description? There's no mention of Star Anise in the dry dredge and 12.5g of Sichuan pepper, is that right ? Seems like a lot
its says in the marinade description that 12.5g - Szechuan 100g - Chicken stock powder 25g Salt 25g MSG 5g Black Pepper 5g Cumin Seeds 5g Paprika 5g Onion Powder 5g Garlic Powder 1g Dried Oregano 40g dashi 40g chicken salt 60g sriracha 60g water 100g dry dredge But in the video he only adds 3 ingredients? which is correct ?
You know what hotwings are genuinely underrated? The generic ones you can get from Kebab houses and Chippies. Seriosuly. I would love to know which company is providing these takeaways with those wings. I'd buy them in bulk.
I tried making this and it took me over 2 hours total, the sauce isn't as smooth as I'd like, but the flavor is good. I can't make a bechamel sauce to save my life. It took me 3 tries before I finally had something that would work well enough to make something that would melt the cheese and not just coagulate. I will master this sometime before I die.
Here in New Mexico USA... Chile Capital of the World... We have Cayenne Chile.... it is pronounced... Ki-Ann not Ka-Ann. Our Hatch Green Chile is to die for. Thank you for another great video.
Trying to work out if the steaming process is drawing out excess water from the chicken. Normally I just dry brine and set aside in the fridge for a few hours
Regarding chicken, I grew up with honey grilled or soysauce wings and korean fried chicken, I’ve always preferred those over american styled chicken… but popeye’s tenders have really grown on me over the years.
This is exactly why I will pay good money to go out and eat at restaurants. There is just so much thought and work gone into it.. Something a casual home cook just doesn't have the time to do.
So, I made this tonight, I started it yesterday (no tapioca starch though as I didn't have any). I couldn't steam it so I did it in my air fryer for 20 minutes on 145C, a compromise and then fried it as per the video. It made nice chicken but it was far too salty, 25g of salt is way too much for me. I would make it similar to this again but I'd reduce the salt to 10g at most.
My recipe and methodology is very similar to this. What makes this a great cooking method is having the flats already cooked from the oven before frying to avoid undercooking. You can also do it the opposite way for a different result. But I won’t share my Michelin secrets ;)
Obviously, a plethora of local places will do it better but for fast food fried chicken... Bojangles for whole chicken, with Church's a close second. For sandwiches, Chick-fil-A by far, with Popeyes coming in second. If you want a chicken biscuit though... get the biscuit from Bojangles (which also has good chicken filets, to be clear, and would be 3rd on the list) and combine that with the Chick-fil-A filet 😁 Honey with the whole fried chicken, ranch with the sandwiches... skip the blue cheese dressing.
Just realised I’ve watched this vid before The best fried chicken, consistently is a place new Malden called Chic n Beers - but yes, run of the mill - popeyes and only the sandwich not the bone in stuff for some reason
Looks great but wow complicated. I’m trying to be with my cooking now the way Einstein was with his wardrobe. KISS principle so I can focus on other more important things in my life now and you can eat really well and with delicious food keeping it simple

This man could stand beside me while he instructs me how to do this and it would still be maybe 1/10th of the result that he achieves.
Don’t underestimate yourself. I bet he is a good teacher and I am sure you’d nail it.

How the fuck do you have over a million subscribers and 1 video?
You would if I pooed on it
If not using a steamer and using the oven, could you try and get halfway there by having a roasting tray of boiling water at the bottom of the oven?
It's definitely a good measure. Also achievable easily if you just wrap them nicely and tightly with a nice double layer of tin foil if you don't have a steamer and pop just a thin layer (1-2mm) of chicken stock on the bottom and if youre in a home oven just add another 10°c to account for the lack of air flow.

Crazy because for dinner tonight I made chicken burgers and used a similar technique with the wet and dry dredging! Will deffo give the wings a try!
Amazing😋😋😋

I can only imagine how delicious but a ton of work
Hi chef, are you steaming the wings at 100°?
At any point can you freeze the wings, I was thinking at the cooling stage. Your thoughts.. do or don't? Your wings look amazing!
Looks incredible. I like to make fried chicken but it’s always a little too much work, I should find a simpler recipe than the one I use. But honestly, frying in general is often a pain in the ass
Can you do a video on mocktails?

+1 to Butchies, probably the best I've tried in London. One day, London will get a Miss Millies.
Yes.
I respect you accomplishment to make the ultimate fried chicken it is trly mastertful . As a home cook...are you kidding me . Kfc is good enough .
Obviously, a plethora of local places will do it better but for fast food fried chicken... Bojangles for whole chicken, with Church's a close second. For sandwiches, Chick-fil-A by far, with Popeyes coming in second.
If you want a chicken biscuit though... get the biscuit from Bojangles (which also has good chicken filets, to be clear, and would be 3rd on the list) and combine that with the Chick-fil-A filet 😁
