Okay, so I made this, and HOLY COW. This is, no joke, the best chicken substitute I've had yet. Flavor is good, and because of the layering, when it fries up, the edges of those layers crisp up so nicely and have a texture almost like meat fibers. Wanted to do a little write-up because I did a couple things differently than you. You may have seen my old post on this video where I was wondering if you could put the dough through a pasta roller... well, I did it, and it worked amazingly. I used the arrow root to keep it from sticking to the rollers. With thinner layers, it made it so I could stack more layers up using the same amount of ingredients that you used. I altered your coconut oil mix because it looked a little thin to me. I used 1 cup of water instead of the 1.5 you called for. It came out kind of like a thick foam. I put that in the freezer to firm up, but was impatient and just decided to spread it as a foam in between the rolled out dough. Worked great! I think I got about 12-15 layers into mine. I boiled it up and my layering was much more defined than yours, almost like a layered pastry. I was worried, but I actually think it worked out to be better for frying. For future experiments... which I will absoLUTEly be doing... I want to take the pasta rolling one step further and make either spaghetti or linguine strands. I thought I might be able to sort of pile those up, mix in the coconut oil mixture, and see where that gets me texture wise. One other thing, I think I'll use more chicken flavoring in the dough next time. Curious if you have any ideas with this one issue... the initial texture of the fried chick-un here is excellent, but as you chew it more, the texture sort of goes to a more gritty feeling. Would more gluten help that out do you think? I hesitate to add too much, because I really don't love the flavor of gluten. Anyhow... slam dunk so far Mr. Stache, and I really hope you mess more with these layering techniques. That is what muscle fibers are after all, so if we're trying to mimic that, I think this is the way to do it.

This man deserves a million subscribers. Seriously.

Side note: You making your wife laugh that hard was so wholesome!

That thunder just means you're making Chick'n of the Gods!

That's it, you've finally convinced me to buy all these powders you use. Bro is there any chance you can write the formula in the description plz?

This is really cool, I need to try this. Probably should get some plain pea protein first cuz I think chocolate flavored chicken would be really weird lmao

I want to see your take on Beef Jerky!! - We love watching your videos :) nice job on this.

Now, that's the type of content I love :D I greatly appreciate your ceaseless willingness to explore, expand, test and improve your ideas. And the fact you've decided to share your adventures with us is just incredible! The biggest thank you Mark! You're a legend

Can't wait to try this! & loving all the funny cutaways and interruptions from in this episode, i think it adds a fun flair to your videos!

I LOVE this video, the thunder, and Monica making noise were so funny. And of course great recipe as always!

7:04 😂😂😂 Also...that was thunder??

Yoooo thank you!!! Edit: Could you share a recipe without methyl cellulose and gluten?

Sooooooo glad you posted this before waiting for a “gluten free” product!!!!! I recognize there are a lot of folks who can’t have gluten or have a gluten free preference but for the majority of us vegans without a gluten allergy this is awesome!

Why aren't you selling your own brand of meat replacement products? I would totally be up to buy this. Your own brand, seriously.

would love a gluten free chickun like Daring - have you tried this? the texture is so good

BEEN WAITING SOOOO LONG FOR THIS!!! 😍😍😍

I have a request: Can you imagine/create a cheese with a avocado base? It's already creamy. I have a nut allergy.

Ya, definitely gonna try this one. Looks amazing! These layered methods seem to be where it's at for texture I think. Makes sense, considering that's what meat fibers are made up of. Nice work Mr. Stache.

I'm just getting into plant based food and vegan foods, definitely glad I came across this channel

Between the thunder being "unbelievable!" And Monica's background noise this has been one of my favorite videos on this channel 😆

Every time his wife comes in to taste what he made, I feel jealous.

It always seems like a great idea when you incorporate laying into meat replacements to help simulate that texture. Love this channel!

With Thanksgiving getting closer, could you make a roast turkey substitute please?

For someone with celiac is there anything you can sub for the wheat gluten?

I really like the folding method you've been using along with the fake fats. Seems a little time consuming & work involved, but the final product looks just like real meat. It's amazing! I have to try this, one of these days.

update: I made this a second time and it came out a lot better-I had added too much liquid in there initially, so it came out mushy. Now, I will say, althought the texture came out better, it still had this pasty, aftertaste, almost like paste. I wonder if it was the arrowroot of the methycelulose??? I also thought it lacked flavor even when I added salt and pepper etc...before frying up, so I wonder if I could add in salt, sage, thyme, etc...IN the batch while in the food processor?! Then when I steam it, all those flavors will lock in. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks for your hard work in putting this video out. I really enjoy watching them.

Your jovial amazement of the spices falling + thunder was pure gold

I was looking for a youtube video on a shrimp replacement using lychees because i thought the texture was similar, i couldn’t find any videos on it, maybe you could do something like that? Also a vegan ceviche would maybe be a good recipe to use the lychees in although you’d have to get rid of that slight sweetness!

This is awesome dude ! Maybe making the layers thinner would be interesting. It's doable if you roll it with a pasta machine instead of by hand. I need to find some of that methylcellulose and do some experiments of my own

An ad that played during this video started with a little girl eating chicken tenders and asks “dad does chicken nuggets come from real chickens?” The dad looks at her and is at a loss for words. The ad then goes on to show its advertising for gardein chickun strips. Thank goodness. Wasn’t sure where that ad was going. Super cool to see vegan food ads now. :)

I love it. I’m going to make it this weekend. If I can find all the ingredients. But hey, it’s a must!

pea protein "chicken" is my favourite chicken alternative, my second favourite is quorn. i'm not vegan (instead vegetarian), but there _is_ vegan quorn. the texture of that is far more fibrous than quorn made with egg white.

Mr. Osm, are you gonna put the recipe out for this? I will rewatch the vid and take notes if not! Sounds too good!

Loved the random interactions with your wife and thunder.

Youre changing the game brooo! Ill totally buy when you have your own brand of mock meats!!

I introduced a customer to you. Her daughter is vegan and I showed her some of the thumbnails and this video and she thought it looked just like meat. I eat meat myself, but I enjoy watching you make these products and its awesome

Wow!! Thank you so much for updating this recipe!! It truly looks amazing! It’s amazing to see how much you’ve improved! Thank you so much!!! Got to try this recipe! Well done!

My favorite part of this video quickly became when you called your wife out for being loud in the background and she was cackling 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's something my husband would do! Love the fun 😁 Oh and the recipe looks good!

Always amazing!

any substitute for gluten? what about konjac flour?

I agree, U certainly should have your food in stores

i have been watching your videos without subbing... now im subbing

Listen to your girl. "You should be in grocery stores!".

The box opening bit had me cackling. XD I've not had actual chicken in over 8 years now, but I really want to have this sliced up with some gravy at Thanksgiving! I wonder if you could make a large enough loaf to actually wrap around stuffing before cooking it... would that even work?

This was a cute video too. Thunder and boxes. Good humor haha.

I used to live in Florida and we'd get enough of the afternoon showers with the house rattling lightning and ear splitting thunder!🌩☔⚡.... Some things I don't miss. I really, really loved your parting comment of going out to vote!🤓🇺🇸...YES!

Even the thunder claps for you!

To be honest I found this video to cook dinner for my friend who’s a vegan and it was actually really good for us both❤️ thanks

I absolutely love your posts, you go where no other vegan aficionado has gone before!!! You inspire me!!! 💚🌱🧜🏽‍♀️

Hey! Can you please tell me what can we use instead of the gluten? My bf has a gluten allergy 🥺

Can you do a gluten free version? My housemate is gluten intolerant vegetarian but loves chikun stuff but it's so expensive

You deserve more then these number, more subscriber too !! Love ur work

Looks delish

Would love to try this. Went to your website, near impossible to find the recipe! Tried the question bar. Lots and lots and lots of recipes. It would be great if the link actually took one to the correct recipe. Oh, well.

Been wanting to get a stainless skillet so I will definitely be picking one up with your discount. How long will the discount last?

PLEASE get this in stores it looks amazing

Thanks so much. I had to watch twice. Can't wait to make it.

Great energy and fantastic presenter brother keep up the majestic work

Can this be done without gluten and turn out the same?

Wow this one turned out better then I was expecting.

I love the very last line of this video.

Hi can i use psyllium husk instead of methylcelullose ? And how much for this recipe

I have a great vegan 🌱 NACHO CHEESE RECIPE! I promise you’ll love it💕 INGREDIENTS- 2 cups of raw boiled cashews( boil until soft) 2 cups of boiling hot water ^blend all together in blender and transfer to a pot and add seasonings below. TASTE AS YOU GO ALONG🙌🏾 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast( or as cheesy as you want it to taste) 1/2 cup of mixed chopped jalapeños and tomatoes 2-3 tablespoons of jalapeño juice from Jar or more (we like it spicy!) 1/8 teaspoon (x2)of chipotle pepper seasoning, onion salt(or powder) ,garlic salt(or powder), and salt.

I. Need. To. Try. This. NOW

Love watching ur vids I don’t rlly know how to cook and I’m not even vegan but ur vids are very entertaining and u food looks so good!

You are so dope! Thanks to you the transition to healthier eating has been smooth. But can you do a gluten alternative?

absolutely amazing! I've been following your channel for a while and you always have awesome content! Can you freeze or refrigerate this before or after boiling? I would like to make a batch of these and hopefully store them for a while. This will be very useful info! Thanks

You’re a Wizard! I love your videos and what you do..

Can you make a realistic turkey for Thanksgiving please 🦃🥺👉🏾👈🏾

I’m a science geek (BS degree) and I am in science heaven!

That layering method seems to give that meat the nice strands as you pull it apart. What happens if you do more layers and thinner? Will it approach the texture and layers of real chicken meat?

Hey, I have a question! Can I substitute the arrowroot powder with tapioca or rice flour?

Love it! I’m going to make my kids some nuggets with this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing! Also what camera and lenses do you use to shoot your videos?

I FINALLY found that chicken broth. Holy camoly it's so good!

I know it's not the most click-baity topic, but I'd love a matzah ball recipe that doesn't fall apart in water, but it still fluffy.

I'm not even vegan and I love watching your videos, I'd argue you're at pretty much at the forefront of people who is making vegan animal products (cheese, meat, seafood etc) more inticing for people like me. Watching your vids I have more and more recipes that can reduce meat in my diet while getting 80% of the experience. I bet there will be a point where I can probably go fully vegan without it feeling like a big compromise.

This looks amazing. I'm going to try making it this weekend. Do you think just shaving thin layers of the frozen hockey puck of oil and cellulose would work well enough rather than freezing it into a thin sheet?

2:54 central florida thunderstorms have been more bonkers than usual this year lol

Please do a vegan corned beef hash can version dupe video

Can I add confectionery glue (carboxymethylcellulose - E466) instead of methylcellulose (E461)?

Another bop! Can't wait to try this magic!

Is there any sub for the methylcellulose? My stomach can't tolerate it. If there is something I can use as a sub, even if less ideal, please let me know as I really want to try this recipe!

Wow!!!!! I have a challenge for you:. Create vegan mortadella and prosciutto!!

interesting, although I do not miss eating chicken anymore. I have been trying to make a good sauce with peaprotein, a bit quicker that what we saw here...

cant eat gluten- any substitutes?

This is really awesome man.

Can you please make a plant based raw organic substitute meat recipe that can be eaten just as tastily raw as well as cooked? Chicken and beef for sure or any other ideas you might have like sausage or eggs could be great ❤️ Ideally recipes that benefit the body in all ways

Will there also be a gluten free version?

I live in france, the country is very behind the times in terms of vegan products. Would you consider shipping the products needed ?

Bout time! I had to try to figure out my own recipe. It was hit and miss. 😄

2:54 that face, genuine fear 😂😂

Will I be able to use this as a chicken substitute in meals

Man that layering technique breaks apart like a fish filet...just saying

Do you think this is possible to make without the gluten flour? My SO can't have gluten due to an intolerance

I agree - your products should be in grocery stores! I'd absolutly love that :D

Those honestly look a lot like salmon pieces, the color and layering is just really similar, I wonder how we'd flavor it in order to taste fishy?

Only in Florida will thunder knock spices off a spice rack.

Awesome dude...awesome

I agree with a Monica! Please sell this, I will buy a S.T. of it.

Recipe looks good! Hi Monica!!!!
