"it tastes good, but I still hate it" you just described fast food perfectly

“It tastes good, but I still hate it” is how I feel every time I eat fast food.

“They’re still pretty depressing.” Josh, Joshua, Joshy Boy. I am not consuming McDonalds nuggets because I am living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I am consuming them because it’s 1am and the ham slices and cheese in the fridge just isn’t satisfying my cravings, and I have no desire to go into the kitchen and make my own nuggets while entrenched in darkness and hissing at every living being that also lives in my house.

I tried making them at home and I found the biggest key, make the chicken mixture and let it sit in the fridge overnight then batter and fry. The taste difference between frying right away and letting the chicken marinade OVERNIGHT is INTENSE .

"I broke down this whole chicken just for the flex" ain't never heard that before but I'm sure it's bars in culinary school

Can you do McDonalds Fries “on a good day.”

I made this the other day and substituted celery powder with anise and MSG with shredded parmesan. It was amazing! Thank you for the recipe!

Welcome to another episode of but better where I take the challenge, I judge my own food and I declare myself winner every time

No one: Josh: Start by getting a medium sized bowl I made my own but if your in a pinch premade bowls will do

The more sleepy I get the more Josh's humor slays me, making me watch more, and it's this vicious cycle that keeps me up til 3am

For everyone talking shit, I work for the company that makes the McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. Like, I've literally seen the product go completely from chicken to the cases the bags of nuggets are boxed and shipped out in. They are nothing but finely ground (to a paste, practically) chicken breast and whatever seasonings are in the batter. No chicken heads, feet, organs, cartilage, etc. Just all white 100% chicken breast. I've literally seen the entire process with my own eyes. That's that.

I just made this recipe up and shared with my family. We are now making this every year as a tradition. We love it.

One day, you will see a popup advertisement with Joshua's face saying: "Restaurants hate him" "Scientists in Cambridge have discovered a revolutionary way to cook chicken nuggets"

I like how he gives us the ingredients like i’m gonna make it

I'd love to see your take on the sweet and sour sauce. That was always the only sauce I had for nuggets back in the day.

Not going to lie, this guy is one of the few people on KZfaq who are willing to put some shame on these big fast food chain restaurants when it actually comes to the food size and portions. Thank you for doing these videos.

"Simple BBQ sauce" "Lists every ingredient known to man"

This guy should open up a restaurant and name it “But better” XD

Now.. I know this video is.. 2 years old now, but seeing the McNuggums always makes me think Sauce. Would you consider doing a BB but on the sauces? Sweet N Sour, Buffalo, Signature, ect. It'd be interesting I feel!

I wish I could be at Josh’s house to eat the stuff he compares to and just throws out lmao

Fast food chain: *exists* Josh: I'm about to end this chain's career.

I was seriously thinking about trying to do this myself until he broke out the meat grinder and then I was like well nevermind lol

man didnt make a bbq sauce he made a chemistry experiment

did he just say ching chong vinegar at 2:09 ??? hahhahaha

so who’s gonna tell josh that “have it your way” isn’t mcdonald’s slogan? ... it’s burger kings😂

These turned out awesome even though I didn’t follow it exactly. I’m broke so I used a cheese grater on some frozen chicken breast. I also subbed w/gluten free flour. I don’t have msg or white pepper but I made it work with other seasonings. It still turned out great! 😊 Thanks!

Not gonna lie, it’s all about the sauce. The combo of the sweet sour and mcnugget just unlocks something in my brain and I don’t think anything will ever be able to replicate it.

no one: Joshua: okay so we're gonna make our own water. you're gonna need 1 oxygen atom to that you're gonna add 2 hydrogen atoms...

JOSHUA, PLEASE MAKE A HOT POCKET BUT BETTER SO I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THEM IN BULK AND FREEZE THEM, THANK YOU

The more I share these vids with my husband, the closer he gets to understanding why I would want a kitchen-aide stand mixer with pasta and grinder attachments.

Someone give this guy a medal please. Why aren't everyone using the metric system for recipes. Finally, Mccnuggets that one could make.

“I know there’s a lot of ingredients” I mean it’s not like there’s anything else to do right now

1:13 Joshua do be lookin like a McDonald's worker comin back with his food at the end of the day

5:12 _ah yes, take a nice shot of the nuggets while Joshua punches the hell outta that McChicken box_

I could never really make any of this but I absolutely love to watch these videos. I’ve learned how to make mash potatoes and homemade cheese! I can do that! Thank you 😊. Love it here!

Imagine u give him his own nuggets without him knowing and he starts dissing it and tries making a better version

Me: I'm here to make my own chicken mcnuggies!! Joshua: Ingredients.. Me: I'm going to McDonalds!!

I'm sorry I haven't tried ur nuggets but the McDonald's ones are legendary and can have them injected in my system

ingredient of the BBQ sauce 1 cup (270g)ketchup 1/4 cup panela(63g)or dark brown sugar 1 Tbsp (7g) smoked paprika 1 Tbsp (10g) garlic powder 1.5 tsp (4g) kosher 1 Tbsp (15g) nice dijon mustard 2 Tbsp (25g)Worcestershire 1.5 Tbsp (16g) chinkiang vinegar or black vinegar 3 Tbsp (35g) rye whiskey *optional* 1/2 cup water 3 Tbsp (35g)white distilled vinegar Splash of shirodashi *optional*

“So my friend said this is the king of nuggets” Dino nuggets: *pathetic*

Nobody: Josh: All done, let's quickly make our own tastebuds before we taste.

So my husband and I moved to a new state and we just had a baby 4 months ago. We dont have any family or friends here yet and we watch your videos all the time and we always say "time to watch uncle josh!" Because he sees your face more than our actual family at this point 😂 we love your videos they make us laugh super hard and inspire us to try cooking things from scratch all the time 😊

I just made these, and they're delicious -> I can confirm they taste like mc donalds but better.

Here’s one you won’t make better: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits

Dinosaur nuggets: "Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary."

It sounded like: worker: have a good day! Josh: me too

Me at the start of the video: "wow, these look tasty, wonder how easy they are to make?" Me at the end of the video: "guess I'll order some McNuggets on Uber Eats"

Imagine someone who's just discovering Joshua's channel thinking he's this serious chef that makes videos and then he encounters stuff like 5:15

Joshua: "I can't believe I'm doing this, this is a breach of my own morals". Also Joshua: increasingly slaps and makes shots of his butt

Damn, the amount of ingredients in the bbq sauce alone! Then you have to essentially start your own Meat grinding factory. Nope. I am just going to pay the fiver! :p

As a former mcdonalds employee, i'm surprised you picked up on the celery, that's def the key note, and I'm sure it's wonderful. For an accurate test however, put your nuggets under a heat lamp for 20-30 mins and let's see who comes out on top

Him making bbq sauce: stay with me I know it’s a lot of ingredients Me: I don’t even have those ingredients

I know *exactly* what he meant when he said "it's weird, they taste good but I still hate them"

Recipe : 1,5 pound chicken breast 0.25 pound chicken skin blend together Add to the meat: 2 tsp kosher sal 1 tsp sugar 1.5 tsp MSG wet batter: 45 gr cornstarch 240 ml water 450gr AP floour 23 gr salt 2 gr msg 3 gr pepper 2 gr celery powder 75 gr corns 103 AP flour 4 gr Baking powder 1 gr baking soda 240 ml water 2 egg

Somewhere Anon is crying with joy at the art before his eyes.

Bro where’s the sweet and sour sauce that’s what makes the Golden Arches chicken nuggets god tier

Joshua: **makes a painful amount of “have it MY way” jokes.** Me: **dies inside because he’s making Burger King jokes while making McDonalds food**

I think josh doesn’t want to admit that the McDonald’s chicken nuggies could compete. I love you josh don’t take this seriously

Never throw away food, it is a blessing!

Who's gonna tell him that "have it your way" is Burger King's slogan?

Fun fact that I've learned as a McDonald's employee: there is actually celery in the nuggets

For people that tried it, does it have "the special taste" of McDonald’s nuggets? If you know what I mean

Chicken nuggets are like my family. Please accept this sacrifice.

he's probably going to do a "better than Joshua" series after taking out all the giants.

I’m convinced their chicken nuggets aren’t actually chicken. With that said, I still take the first bite of my daughter’s happy meal every time.

thank you uncle joshua, now i can make my favorite mcnuggies at home but better

I just added more salt and water to tempura it was exactly like McD's 👍🏽 👌🏾

Ok 10 count “Joshua’s Nuggets” $15, A packet of “Joshua’s BBQ Sauce” $45... sounds about right :D

I like how he kept saying “have it your way” when it’s not even McDonalds’s slogan

Wait, people think chicken skin is ew? It's one of the best parts of the chicken, especially when nicely spiced and crunchy.

most of the joy that comes from mcdonalds nuggets is the nostalgia i get cause i used to love them as a kid. idk what they did but like recently they just don't taste anything like they used to, and thats not nostalgia because like 2 years ago they weren't like they are now

It just reminds me of when James Oliver showed a bunch of kids how chicken nuggets where made and how disappointed he was when they still wanted to eat them.

“Making McDonalds food at home because they fired me”

Almost every time I'm watching this I'm like hey i got that stuff I could make this then he jus goes completely left right at the end with some ingredient I didn't know existed lol love then videos man

When Joshua says "we have McDonald's at home" he means it

*flicks nugget* "This sound appetizing to you?" Unfortunately yes

instructions unclear: i ended up at the McDonald's drive through

OMG I LOVE YOU whenever I find a American recipe it's always in cups and like other measurements thanks for turning it into grams and millilitres

For people in the UK quick BBQ sauce = 65/35 mix of ketchup (Heinz as it's sweet) and Daddies Sauce (brown sauce, you could use HP Sauce but I didn't have any).

Nobody: Joshua: today we're going to make fried eggs.. First add 3 tablespoons or 42.9 grams of Edible gold

Let’s be honest, fast food restaurants probably hate Josh.

I showed this video to my excessively picky 7 year old and he is drooling. Gonna make them at the next opportunity. Unfortunately though, stand mixer be expensive and I don't have that, so I'll just have to use a food processor.

When that distorted “Nuggiesss!” hit, I busted out laughing. 🤣

Whenever he starts the video, it feels like we’re children trapped in his cabinet

Josh is literally the only exception to “ We have that at home “

does josh think "have it your way" is a mcdonald's phrase? he's paraphrased it multiple times... and I'm lovin it.

Thank you soo much i tried to do this today and you know what? Its the best one ive ever tried 🤤🤤

0:52 "McDonald's McNuggets seem to have some sort of a charm" Yeah that's totally cocaine!

"Let's just make 1 big chicken nugget" Umm wouldn't that just be a chicken meatloaf?

The answer to why mcdonalds nuggets are the best is and always has been: Tempura Batter. Yeah i know it's not 100% authentic tempura, but it's so much better than those nuggets that feel like they're coated in sand.

I watched you break down the chicken 1-2-3 and I was like huh impressive but he doesn't need all that chicken for nugs and then you said "just for the flex" and I said YOU KNOW WHAT JOSH out loud but tbh it's really pretty impressive, you do a really good clean job on the chicken.

I like how in his intro he says “in the hopes to make it better” when he always makes it better

Can you make “But Better” Olive Garden breadsticks? They’re honestly so rubbery and overrated and I want to see you put them in their place

3:19 I think ol boy is on to something there. Like a chicken nugget meatloaf. cut it into slices to make a crispy, yet still soft sandwich. Throw it over some mashed potatoes. Hell, you could even sell slices strait, as a chicken hashbrowns. This sounds like a million dollar idea.

He dropped the nugget like he's expecting it to bounce back

“Fast food restaurants hate this guy, click here to find out why”

dont be ridiculous u liked that mcdonalds nuggets dont be shy bite some more

2:44 chicken skin is the BEST!! Whenever I eat chicken with bone and skin, I save the skin so I can treat myself to it at the end because it’s SO GOOD

Ayo just wanna say thank you for these videos I been having some panic attacks recently but your videos help thank you

“It’s just $40” *cries in poor*
