Testing Popular Fried Chicken Techniques
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
- There are so many ways to fry chicken. Country-fried, broasted, Korean-style, buttermilk fried, popcorn, Nashville hot, Japanese-style...I mean, the list goes on and on. Today, I'm putting a handful of the most popular methods to the test. You will not hear this often on my channel, but THERE WILL BE NO SEASONING. I know, it sounds crazy. But for the purposes of this test, I want everything to be standardized. I don't want to be thinking about salt, or pepper, or paprika, or any delicious seasoning. I just want to think about what makes the crispiest, juiciest fried chicken.
Today, we tested just a few methods:
1. Plain fried (no breading)
2. Flour only (no egg)
3. Flour and egg
4. Potato starch
Typically, potato starch is my favorite, but check out the video to see the results! They certainly speak for themselves.

@TommyInnit 🅥 hi bot
Nice I love your videos you inspire me to cool more, keep making this amazing content. ❤️
Hey Nick I would love a desert recipe an easy recipie
Liked at the first second
The two main things I’ve learnt watching all of nicks videos :
1. Potato starch , NO FLOUR
2. Equal pets buttermilk and pickle juice
🤘
Things I learned use protection
Lol
@David Dоbrik 🅥 stop it
@David Dоbrik 🅥 get out of this comment section
@TommyInnit 🅥 get out of this comment section
dipping chicken into eggs is the most SAVAGE thing human could ever done
Loool
Lmao I just realised that lol🤣🤣
call that family reunion
It’s done literally all the time. This is not new.
@@boarbot7829 joke went right over your head 😂😂
You've taught me a ton about cooking nick, cooking I'll never use, because I'm too lazy.
Hi
ok
Actual facts.
same chain?
more sleep streams
I like flats more, because of the superior skin to meat ratio, and the crisper skin
nah, you get less meat
hey
@@sanjeevv.9901 they didnt say its more meat, its just a better balance of skin and meat than drums.
@@valkyriekittyx I didn't say they said more meat. I was just saying why Drums are superior and how the skin to meat ratio was not enough to tradeoff less meat
@@sanjeevv.9901 Crispy skin is superior to meat. Fight me!
I actually used the buttermilk pickle juice, potato starch trick for my party and it was a hit!,
Thank you nick!
Nice
Absolutely! I'm glad you liked it.
Absolutely! I’m glad you liked it.
Absolutely! I’m glad you liked it.
Absolutely! I'm glad you liked it.
I like that Nick's at ease with all of the video formats available, his videos are dope!
I made some garlic parmesan drums with potato starch and a bit of flour and I dip mine in egg before i put them into the dry mixture. They next day after sitting in the fridge i put them in the microwave for a minute to heat up the outside and then the toaster oven for a minute or two to make sure they were crispy still and they were still crispy and delicious!! Thank for the videos you do, they help me out so much! cooking is my stress reliever when I'm in a dark place, your recipes give me the motivation to create my own food ideas and share them with other too, Thank you
Nobody:
**Nick when eats fried chicken**
*HEAR THIS*
*Starts scraping knife over the fried chicken*
"That is so crispy/delicious"
more experiments like this, please. Thank you so much!
I absolutely love his casual jokes. Like- he just says it and that's all, doesn't over exaggerate them like most people.
Nick, I have been watching your cooking videos for a while and I absolutely love what you do! You helped me to develop my cooking skills and I have always wanted you to cook one of my favorite dishes of time...
THE BEST DISH that Gordon Ramsay has ever tasted..
It is the Vietnamese noodle soup, aka Phở, it is so hard to make that a lot of cooks have failed to achieve it.
As a Vietnamese I'm really looking forward to you making this wonderful bowl of noodles.
I hope you see this message! Thanks
Yeah nhưng hơi buồn là có vẻ nick ko thấy r
The camera man is one of the reasons I watch your videos. 😂😂🙏🏻
Manny?
*Nanny
W...Wait what?!? His cameraman didn’t get fired, something‘s wrong here, I can feel it.
SOMETHIMG IS WRONG
Bob the penguin
Drums better than flats?!!? AHHH!!! Wings still looking cwispy af tho
@ this is literally my favourite argument in the world
@ LOL
Drum are better and I stand by that
Crispy***
@ flats are mats mats are trash
Amazing. Never cease to release amazing content nick. Big inspiration 👍
Nothing can beat Nick's starch, double fried chicken.
@Joshua EdwinRoehl why you spamming
"To start, this is the chicken's butt" lmao, but also, he's not wrong lol
Please do this more, was super fun to watch.
My favorite part of the bird, drums and thighs. I tried your pickle juice trick. Epic game changer!! My local supermarket in Maine has these show stopping locally made pickles.
He got that wrong those were the legs the drums are still part of the wing closer to the breast and lower than the flat
Crispy, tender and juicy chicken are always the best. Also the jokes are always funny and makes me laugh 😂
Alternative title:
Nick justifies his methods for frying chicken.
Facts
Lmao 😂😂
With the egg + flour, the egg whites expand causing it to be more fluffy! If you drop egg whites in hot oil it literally goes crazy haha it’s my go to for any fried food 😊
ahhh man i thought you’d do egg + starch too, that woulda been cool to compare. Still a great video, loved it and can’t wait to see more!!
Just before I’m about to make fried chicken. perfect! I unfortunately don’t have potato starch atm. But I found rice flour is also a good alternative for extra crisp n crunch
Hmm. Rice flour is decent, but if you’ve got corn flour that will be even better!
He never disappoints me with these videos!😩✨
Max the meat guy: feeds cameraman
Nick: you’re fired you’re actually fired
The two things nick has taught me
first, really good recipes
second, im two lazy too cook
This really made my birthday better, thank you. Now I am craving chicken 😂
@@Cyrus_11215 thank youu :)
POV: you’ve been subbed since 30k and nick does NOT disappoint!
Ur reactions are amazing, which makes ur videos more watchable 😂❤️
I love these kinds of videos. I hope u keep up and make more videos like these. And for people u dont have potato starch. I've foudn that mixing equal portions of all purpose flour and corn flour also works. But remember to season it very well
*sighs* nick is the best youtuber i've ever watched 🙂 and his food makes my mouth water like crazyyy 🤤
Camera man: does anything
Nick: What are you doing? You're fired!
It's all fun and games until the cameraman pulls and Uno reverse and fires nick😂
Definitely more tests! I'd love to see a starch+flour mix coating.
I love this recipe of fried chicken coz I've recently did it and it was so delicious. So I enjoyed every piece of my fried chicken. Thank you Nick for this recipe I made in the same way as you did and it was crunchy and soft at the same time. Great 😊👌
you should've tried the method of coating in flour then putting it into water then flour again....it gives a very good crispy layer as well
Well, agreed that: potato starch > egg + flour but there is still one game changer out there. Cornflakes !!! As far as I taste delightfull chicken wings, I would always go for cornflakes. Have a try Nick. All the best, peace.
wtf..
U always encourage me to cook more Thank you nick
in my op i always go for the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs coat. just coat the flour first egg and then breadcrumbs, i always love the crispness of it, and it never gets dry or old.
Thank you for helping me raise my cholesterol
DUDE he is good man hates gonna hate CD
Some people do a combination of flour and starch and I think they look real great!
Making fried chicken as I’m watching this video very helpful thanks Nick!
I love your videos Nick!! Your my inspiration! I hope I can be like you one day!
Fried chicken is fried chicken
Delicious either way ✨

Nick: "This whole chicken has been a naughty bird"
**unzips his pants**
No. It didn’t.
@@vsm351 ayoooo
I like using quang tran’s method. He used soda water for the wet batter and has 2 bowl in which he has regular flour and seasoned flour. It makes the chicken glass shattering crispy
Awesome video! You should do a head to head with Guga on this one, his ones looked pretty dam good too!
Nick: *S P A N K S* chicken
Chicken:*Moans*
Nick: Hey I told you not to do that on camera! We were just going to the *bedroom*
@David Dоbrik 🅥 nice
@David Dоbrik 🅥 what if I told you no one cares 😃
What do serial killers and people who eat fried chicken have in common?
They both think the skin is the best part.
hahahahahahahahaa
bau.
it actually is!
Honestly if you do a fried chicken wings series you'll probably be my favorite foodtuber. Maybe do an episode where you go full on rich gang and do the most expensive chicken wings you could imagine. I know I would be stoked
I love your channel and you are such a good cook I’ve learned so many recipes from you and I want to be a chef like you when im older!!, and no offence but I like the flats better.
Looks good
How does it looks good when he just uploaded the video
im just waiting for manny to say, "no nick, you're fired."
Yessss😂😂😂
i know im never gonna use anything i learn here but it's always entertaining anyway
my sister is allergic to gluten so i have been eating and making cornstarch and potato starch fried chicken for sooo long i never thought a chief would be using those ingredients wow!!!
Can we use cornstarch instead of Potato starch? I heard they work the same way. Also, apologies if my question is a bit odd. Im just a beginner and your videos really made me love cooking.
will there be any vids about you testing and rating each fast food sauces ?
my favorite kind is where u let it soak in buttermilk then dip it in this big flour thing then fry it and I love it. I also fry it once cause I prefer the less crunchy outside
Nick, the drum and the flat are actually both the part of the wing. The drum is more the bicep of the wing while the flat is the forearm of the wing
The potato starch ones can't really be stored and be the same as if it was fresh fried. Probably the same for them all. And maybe because I've only just now got a deep fryer and been frying in a pot using a meat probe thermometer to keep the temperature
Nick: fried chicken, it's everywhere
McDonald's: we don't do that here
McDonalds in the Philipines: Maybe I am not a McDonalds
They don't?
@@boomouno6970 jollibee
They actually do
The mcdonalds in pakistan has fried chicken
absolutely so good i love it
When I make my chicken nuggets I do the normal stuff, flour+egg, then I add seasoning (usually an Italian style), and then my secret ingredient… panko. I like the crust that it gives. I also airfry instead of fry but you could fry it instead
Nick: uploads a video that doesn’t require waygu.
Me: impossible..
Do you have any gf😋😋😋
Lol
Lots of love from India, Nick❤️
my fav has to be egg + flour as its the perfect combo of crispy, chewy, moist amazingness
I always do a fifty fifty mixture of starch and flour. In my opinion it makes the perfect crispy crust!
You know what is FAR better than even drums- thighs, from the leg area not wing area, boned and quartered, karaage style! Also, due to no bone you don’t have to do the double fry, as it will cook through the first time.
dude I cant even read your sentence, you, use, commas, too, damn, much, fix, your, grammar.
@@bobbysmurf9915 sorry. I, just, love, commas!
@@boarbot7829 are you by any chance german?
@@boosteddrimmsu jawohl
@@boarbot7829 fühl ich
One thing has been bothering me with all his videos about chicken is, he keeps calling the drumettes, drums. There is a difference. The drum is part of the leg, while drumettes are a part of the wings. Drumettes are much smaller compared to the actual drum. So when you eat wings you get flats and drumettes, not the actual leg drum like he pointed to in the video.
Thank you for coming to me Ted Talk
i cant stand this he actually doesn't know. i can forgive drummette lovers my brother is one but to call a drumstick a drummette? unforgivable
Yea
Thank god someone actually said it. I don’t think he’s ever actually broken down a chicken.
This vidéo deserves a physical like button.
nick your really inspire me , I like your cooking.
I have actually worked at Popeyes as a cook. They do as follows. Marinated chicken goes in seasoned flower, then in a batter mixture, then back into flour, and then fried. You're welcome. 😘
Thank you
Interesting
You are first
I’ve always heard that egg, then either a 1-1 or 2-1 flour to starch ratio or so, is the best way to do it. That way you get the extra crispiness of the potato starch but still the better type of crispiness only flour gives.
IT smells so good I actually smelled it through the screen
"Which Fried Chicken technique is the best"
All i know if it's from Nick DiGiovanni it's delicious!
Agreed
Right
You should have manny cook something! It would be funny to see him tell YOU you’re fired
Lol luckily there's no "Your Fired!" scenes
Also some what a good birthday gift. Thanks Nick!
E
I enjoy ur vids so muchhhhhh
The chicken wing with the egg looked the best but I’m vegan so I can’t use egg in my chicken batter 😂
Dont be a one use egg the world wont end blive me
if u dont
Ur missing out so much
Huh? Chicken is also not vegan... I’m so confused
@@tylerlynch8559 😂
Nick: Drums are better than flats
**subscriber count goes down by 90%**
It’s gotta be a troll
Nick's magic deep-frier magically multiplies the chicken he puts in
Your my favorite chef on yt
I’d like to see a test between flour, potato starch, rice flour, and corn starch … and against a mixture of the starches
And id love to see tempura batter! (I think it’s potato starch and water)
@@boarbot7829 tempura batter is usually a mix of AP flour, rice or corn starch, egg (optional), and iced soda water
@@breadgarlichouse2265 oh yeah. I had a brain fart
Flats > Drums.
Change my mind
No
Maybe, but thighs are the best.
New to the channel. You just earned yourself another subscriber with the drums are better than flats😂!
My go-to has always been soak in buttermilk over night, then dredge in a flour mixture that's 3 parts flour to 1 part corn starch. Same frying method as seen here. Fry first until golden at 325, let sit on a cooling rack, crank frier up to 375+ and then finish them off. The end result is wings with that traditional extra crispy crunch but so much better than anything you'd eat at KFC or Popeyes. Never thought to use pickle juice with the buttermilk, may have to try that soon. If you want those extra crispy wings at home, the biggest secret imo is adding corn starch to your flour. It does wonders.
Flour mixture seasoning consists of:
Salt
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
Smoked Paprika
Onion Powder
*MSG*
Cayenne Pepper
Finely Grated Parmesan cheese. Not a lot, but I like using it the same way I would when doing chicken parm, where I add it to the bread crumb mixture. Helps the browning imo. It doesn't have to be fresh parmigiana either, it can be the store-bought stuff. You're not really using it for flavor, but for the way it browns. If you want garlic parm wings though, thats when the fresh stuff is gonna work way better if you're making a sauce/topping for the wings with it.
i like chicken. who else?
This channel never fails to make me hungry
Bruh I don't know why but i think ur video are calming please make longer videos than this I love ur videos 🙂❤️
potator starch. I luv your vids!!
Am I the only one who doesn’t struggle to get tender crispy chicken with a normal marinade and single thigh?
@Imaan Effendi tougher and less juicy than thigh though. And that’s a fact.
@Imaan Effendi well, that’s pretty weird if you… I’m guessing you’re a fussy eater?
@Imaan Effendi lulul
It seems to me like the flour + egg wing is the one all restaurants use because it looks the most appetizing out of all of them. The potato starch doesn't look quite as appetizing and I think that's the reason restaurants don't use that technique.
Boned thighs look amazing, what everyone should use. Also I think flour is cheaper…
Nick makes it looks so easy
My dad and I make cornflake chicken😂 it is unbelievablely good and crunchy
Fun fact fried chicken was invented in Scotland
It’s a shame I can’t watch your videos anymore. You just went too far this time. Flats for life!
The chicken looks so good!
Lets goo for part 2!
