Sonny, A lot of people have mentioned this before, but I can't help myself. After going back through your early "Cooking with Sonny" videos and comparing those to how you portray yourself today, I have to tell you that watching you evolve your on-screen persona is JUST as entertaining and satisfying as your recipes. I only discovered your channel a month ago or so and I've already made a few of your recipes, and many more are On The List. You'll be pleased to know that Rosemary Salt was the first thing I made (like duh) and I don't need to tell you what I think of it (also duh). I see a lot of people tell you that you're their favorite KZfaq Chef. I don't roll that way. I don't have a favorite movie, I don't have a favorite food. I didn't have a favorite group until I discovered Pentatonix (don't get me started), but my point is that by and large, the term "favorite" is severely overrated . I love lobster. I love filet mignon. I love crème brûlée. I could go on and on. It's pointless for me to try to rate these things because each one is amazing for different reasons, and the same goes for my appreciation of KZfaq chefs. I follow Andrew Rea (Babish), Joshua Weissman, Frank Proto (of Epicurious), Chef John (Food Wishes), and now you. Each of you bring something to the table that is compelling, entertaining, and obviously... delicious. Keep up the good work. You're gaining like 1,000 subscribers a day it seems like. You're gonna get 1 million REALLY SOON! We're all excited for you.

Loving it, moderation in decadent things requires a balance of healthy delicious like this. This type of meal is my teen aged kids (and wife's) absolute favorite. Except for my homemade marinara and meatballs on any pasta, but that's the former, not the latter healthy. And, non pro tip, my favorite chicken flattener, meat tenderizer is an empty, heavy champagne or sparkling wine bottle. Works like a charm. Off to try to learn a spinning kick!! I commented originally before the end; about wet my pants laughing at that Fridge beatdown. Poor Fridge . . .

Got to give it a shot. You did just 3 min per side also on high heat?

@dannyjackson5356 2 жыл бұрын

@@crye088 yes that seemed to do the trick, although i didnt have it on super high heat, my stove tends to get a little too hot so i found mid to high heat was the sweet spot. Just hot enough enough to get a nice golden sear on each side. if you do it too hot it might burn the outside before the inside really cooks. Also, even if you don't have a grill pate like in the video, i found that quarter turns help give a good sear on them. i used a cast iron pan. flattening the breasts before hand , then letting it rest after cooking are, imo, key factors to getting a nice evenly cooked/ juicy result.

Watched you for a while, but I think this is the first time I've commented. Would love about a thousand more vids of these kinds of recipes. When I taught myself how to cook, I focused on stuff I loved and would always want to eat--fried chicken, burgers, pot roast, etc.--and so my muscle memory and recipe improv always ends up utilizing the techniques that make delicious but not very healthy food. Stuff like this, where you show how to set yourself up for success but with healthy food, could be a gamechanger for me. You're one of my go-to channels for recipe inspo, btw. Keep up the good work!

Something you could do if you live in the city and can't grill or can't afford a grill when you're cooking with a grill pan is use a tiny amount of liquid smoke. You could cut it with some water or some apple juice depending on how strong you want that smokey flavor. I think that would give you that grilled chicken sensation without having the equipment. Though with the flavors emulating in this dish, it's important not to mask them and be over powered. Just do whatever you're comfortable with and what works best for you. Nice video btw 😁👍
