I'm the "minced meat pie" of my new, "Fork Don't Lie...Oh Happy Days... : )

poppykok5 Why am I the only person that doesn’t get “Fork Don’t Lie” slogan 😬😬 Can someone please help?

@@tlr8879 It's cause you can hear the sound of the crispyness when he drags the fork across the food. You can't fake that sound, therefore 'fork don't lie"

Hey chef Jon. to answer your question in the vide at 4:35. To get that coating you have to do a couple things. You have to thicken your wet dredge with a tablespoon or two of your seasoned flour to make it more of a batter, and then when doing the dry step in the seasoned flour, you need to press the flour down into the chicken breast. Use 25-50lbs of pressure, really press smash that thing. These two things combined gave me that holy grail chicken coating that I've been chasing for years and finally figured out.

To add a little more to my previous comment... here is a picture of a chicken thigh that I de-boned coated and deep fried. I was running a lot of experiments at that time trying to tweak the leaked KFC seasoned flour recipe to my own person favorite recipe. People ask me if I used cornflakes, and the answer is no. The flaky coating is from smashing the flour down into the batter coated chicken. When it fries it creates little flat flakes. i.imgur.com/GRPqpxT.jpg

Because chicken is in. When it is removed, the oil level will lower.

Tristan Andersen ah! Kinda like tempura but not intentional!

@@littleblizzard7591 Like recipes that intentionally mix a little buttermilk/wet/marinade into the dry to get extra crispy fried chicken. Some recipes even skip the wet and just use the dry with clumps of wet. It works!

I love your profile picture, fam! You look like a great, uplifting person

Thank you.

@@Zaitekno he does. those pearly whites tho

Put pickle juice in the marinade and make your Chik Fil A dreams come true. Also, powdered sugar in the breading.

@@nicholasbyram296 any idea what was in the dry ranch powder

They don't use self-rising flour? I can't figure out how they otherwise get the breading *that* light and crispy.

@@keithpatrick156 I haven't worked at Popeyes since I was 16 (a good 23 years ago) so it may have been self rising and I am misremembering - I always have issues in replicating the breading and never thought to try self rising.

@@drkstl I asked my brother this about Hooter's (he worked the kitchen at one years ago) as well. He says it was just chicken dipped in flour (not even an egg wash), but if I use regular flour like that, I cannot get that same type of breading, regardless of oil temperature. But I fry shrimp with self-rising, and it comes out more like a restaurant.

@@keithpatrick156 there's powdered egg in the flour mixture: ENRICHED BLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR (ENRICHED WITH NIACIN, REDUCEDIRON, THIAMINE, MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), SALT, S­PACK [ENRICHEDBLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR (ENRICHED WITH NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE,MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), SALT, SUGAR, FD&C YELLOW #5 (MAY ALSOCONTAIN YELLOW #6, RED #40, RED #3, GRAPE COLOR EXTRACT, BLUE #1, BLUE #2, BEETCOLOR EXTRACT, ANNATTO EXTRACT AND/OR TURMERIC EXTRACT), SPICES, DRIED WHOLEEGGS, NONFAT DRIED MILK, LEAVENING (SODIUM BICARBONATE AND/OR SODIUM ALUMINUMSULFATE), MICROCRYTALLINE CELLULOSE, NATURAL FLAVOR (ALL FLAVOR INGREDIENTSCONTAINED IN THIS FLAVOR ARE APPROVED FOR USE IN A REGULATION OF FOOD AND DRUGADMINISTRATION OR ARE LISTED AS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS SAFE ON A RELIABLEPUBLISHED INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION LIST.

@@ZanHecht Not only does it contain powdered egg, it also contains powdered nonfat milk AND baking soda. Definitely self-rising, with some other things to boot.

As if that will stop anyone.

I do like to add corn flour to replace about 20% of the flour in the dry coating. I love it.

Daniel Nunya Bidnezz It's the double dredge that makes that really good crust

*not even Frosted Flakes?..how disappointing....perhaps rice krispies or froot loops would be an option*

@@marcjtdc I think your idea (corn flour) is the missing ingredient in all these "corn flakes" recipes. It does not get rock-crisp but also does not wilt over time. And the flavor it develops is richer than regular flour.

Minds Eye i really died at that point

Hello babe

Started sing love rollercoaster because he's a double dipper

And the guru of the drive thru.

I love this comment

TESTIFY

Just in case anyone didn’t know MSG isn’t scary at all it stands for mono sodium glutamate back in the mid 90s people started claiming to have a reaction to msg but we know now days that it’s less than 1% of the population and a lot of the controversy was actually grounded in racism of Asian Americans. It’s kind of like the current anti gluten phase. Msg is just a different kind of salt that comes from seaweed perfectly natural but just like table salt deadly in gigantic quantities. Msg gives food an umami flavor, all flavor pallets combined. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

@Outis If people truly had MSG allergies they would not be able to eat mushrooms, tomatoes and seaweed...people are just dumb.

But MSG does cause some people to have Panic Attacks. It affects the Gaba Receptors in the brain. Makes Someone Goofy. lol

Since your comment is 7 months old, you may never see my reply to your comment. I've been watching CJ for quite a long time and always was fascinated with his intonation. I love it. And what a surprise and somewhat of a disappointment when he recently, while under COVID-19 lock-down, he had multiple live streaming and his speech was totally different. He didn't sound like his usual self at all and, in all honesty, sounded boring to me. Just a bit. Don't knock the guy, his speech is part of his wonderful persona.

@@1951mytube So its just a persona then Thats kinda good to hear haha

It`s his trademark and i hope he keeps it, coz i love it.
