Videos are surprisingly therapeutic. The background music is so light, the shots are visually comforting. Of course, the way Marion cook and talks. She's so calm, no extra movements/gestures, not shouting LOL. Also, please include her makeup and wardrobe :-)

I'm going to be fat by the end of the year because I'm obsessed with your recipes.. WORTH IT THOUGH!

The editing of your videos always astonishes me. Whoever edits does a spectacular job!

In Taiwan, tai basil should fried with chicken,but tai basil only fried in 2 second. Fried chicken will be more delicious. Thank you love Taiwanese food.

This recipe is legit. Sometimes I drop the basil in when the chicken is almost done, to flavor the coat a little. Every time I make this, my bf would ask: "How did you get this amazing flavor?" This is restaurant grade but very easy.

If you let the chicken rest a bit after dredging it in potato starch, you will prevent the potato starch from having a white speckled appearance after frying!

Wow. Made this for lunch today. We used boneless skinless chicken thighs, I toasted the peppercorns before grinding them, and I flavored the oil as it was heating with the left over Thai basil stems which I removed as they became lightly golden as the oil heated. We couldn’t stop eating this! Really wonderful flavor and crunch. Thank you so much for the recipe. Steve K.

My mom worked in Taiwan. So she cooks something like that at home. Deliciousness overload.

Her tone and voice is perfection, such patience when talking ❤️❤️

I've come to a point where I just simply like your videos because I have no words to describe how amazing and simple your recipes are.

"It all comes down to the MARIONade!" sorry, had to do this one!

I'm convinced Marion has just tattoed her lips red at this point because that lip color never moves it's magic

Marion’s voice is so calm and relaxing

AsａTaiwanese I have to say this recipe is great! Some people also fried garlic with basil and sprinkle it in the end! Miss home so much.

Thank you for showcasing one of my favorite street foods in Taiwan! The popcorn fried chicken with basil. Love them!

I'm a simple man. I see a fried chicken video on Marion's channel, I watch it.

thanks!!!! marion. i am from taiwan and been watching your vids for quite a few weeks. this is just amazing you are making our national cuisine!!! so exciting!

Taiwan street food and Night Market food is some of the best food I have ever had while teaching in China and Taiwan.

I really like how you provide explanations for why things are done a certain way, like I didn't know until today the exact reason why you don't overcrowd when frying. Thanks!

The cinematography of this one is a new high for you, imho. Nice job!

The Basil should be thrown into the pot and fry it for a few seconds with the chicken in the pot right before you get the chicken out of the pot. So the chicken can get a lilt bit of basil aroma. This way is more tasty and authentic.

Marion: it tends to get a little dramatic *Hears firecrackers on the background*

I recreated this just now and my husband loved it even if I didn’t have the Sichuan pepper and mirin. He said it’s like eating at our fave Taiwanese restaurant ☺️

Beautiful! Though I would have to have rice: rice & fried chicken is nirvana. Not picking nits here, but try putting fried things on a rack WITHOUT paper towelling. You have to clean the bottom pan anyway. Tried it with & without and no towels keeps the fried things crispier IMO.

I'm trying all your recipes and your sauces Omg love Momma she's a Blast of Energy 😋😋😋🤗🤗🤗

Never and i mean never watch videos like this when your hungry

Marion has been my "go to " chef for so many fantastic meals And I cook myself ! She puts a magical spin on all her recipes. I'd marry her and I'm gay !

The frying sound of the oil is the asmr im looking for! As a fried chicken lover myself, i'm thrilled to try this recipe out! 😍

I've nailed it for dinner today. This is so good Marion.

Her voice is sooooo relaxing... i can listen to here right before bedtime and 😴

I am from Taiwan. Very proud of foods in my country.

Pandemic social distancing is the best time to discover Marion's Kitchen.

I'm telling my cardiologist on you with these delicious fried recipes

Ok Marion, your lipstick 💄 did not move when you bit into that chicken. What brand and name color if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks

When she first sprinkled the pepper mixture over the fried chicken I was like oh girl you barely seasonin'. Then the next scene she flips the little angels over and SEASONS! 😂 yasssss!!! Come thru queen.

Anything fried chicken is good but Taiwanese style is the best!! We can't wait to try them in Taiwan real soon 😍

I made this the other day, it is so gooood, trust me. I'm back again for the recipe.

Perks of being the chef is diving in there first!. My mouth is watering just watching this being made 🤤 I think it’s a five star version of the Chinese “salt and pepper chicken” looks fab!

I'm addicted to your series of vids - as others have said, therapeutic and calming while teaching at the same time. Steady on!

Ever since I followed your channel, I got more confident in the kitchen. Thank you Marion!

How delicious this looks! And it is fairly easy to make as well. I like your idea of getting double duty out of your pestle as a meat mallet and tenderizer as well. I happen to have one of those amazing Thai Granite mortar and pestle sets - a nine inch diameter mortar and a nice, heavy and long pestle - so I am ready to put your recipe to the test in my kitchen at home here in Peachtree City, Georgia, USA. Thank you for sharing Marion. Cheers!

lovely pleasant well spoken crisp n clear ...thank you

My mother keeps asking me when she will be able to eat at your restaurant 😍

Love all of your recipe.. because I really love spicy food.. this is so comforting and so good... Nyum!!😋😋😋😍😍😍

My favourite go to channel for Asian food. Going to make this for my bf this weekend. So inspired! Thanks for your brilliant videos!

Hello Marion, my son’s and I made it and it’s amazing. Thank you for encouraging my boys to cook!

Wow how do you come up with so many recipes?! Incredible!

I just found the best cooking channel on youtube

I think I have now seen every one of your videos. There is something calming and warm about them. You are a class act, Marion. Also, my food repertoire has expanded by leaps and bounds. I am deeply in your debt. My only :failure" has been making Naam Jim Jaew. It is so dry and sour. Practice will make perfect, I am really hoping.

Love the closeup of the frying and hearing the chicken sizzling...yummy...trying this with a nice glass of 🍷 👏🏽👏🏽

Girl, I am a fairly decent cook at my native Indian dishes, but you inspire me to want to try my hand at all these Asian recipes on a whole another level! Bonus: the way your videos are presented, so pleasant and easy with as few ingredients as possible. I'm so glad I came across your channel

I love how she goes ham on the spice and pepper, My kind of food

I just drooled on myself staring at the chicken 😋 looks delicious! I will have to try this.

So I tried making the one from Souped Up recipes, and it was absolutely delicious! I want to try this one too.

OMG....i have never deep fried anything before....and i tried this tonight.....what a hit! I am so hooked. Thank you Marion. You have created a monster.

Crunch salty spicy chicken is the key to life..

Tried it last night with my wife and some drinks, she loves it!.. thanks Marion, keep cooking

Omg it's so good😘 I had this before, the fried Thai basil topping makes the dish extra yummy. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Followed this recipe down to a tee and my family loved it

I LOVE THIS FRIED CHICKEN. I have been wanting to know how to make this! Thank you!!! yummmmmm

The food is always amazing, your voice is so soothing and I can almost taste all the flavors. And the tasting at the end, ugh... why am I not cooking this right now? I will never know 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Your Spicy Pork Hand Pulled Noodles recipe is so delicious and easy to make. My family love it! I'm excited to try this fried chicken recipe also

I lived on this stuff on my two trips to Taiwan…so good♥️ Can’t wait to try this one

Potato starch is great! ...But sweet potato starch is even better! It's the one vendors all use for that "古早味" - "Old School Taiwanese Taste".

Food & presenter = YUM 😋

Love your dishes. Simple, no fuss made with tons of love

The way she does the presentation is extremely charming and relaxing....

Marion is a great instructor. I have learned so much from watching her.

Gonna make this.. thank u so much .. i order this always at a milktea house here in Philippines and it is so expensive.. now i know the recipe thanks to ur video 😂

Binge-watching Marion coz I will be married soon and I need good tips.

That looks absolutely delicious. Adding this to the chicken list

I knew she would start with “crispy”... ☺️☺️☺️

Your videos are absolutely amazing apart from the fact you are supremely beautiful and an unbelievably talented cook. Thank you for all you do.

Wonderful recepi ,thanks I sure to try

Watching this at 3am from the Philippines! ❤❤❤❤❤

I’m starting to miss Taïwan

I'm in the States and it's funny that I never order fried chicken in a restaurant, nor do I make fried chicken. However, I am always, somehow, drawn to lovely fried chicken recipes and this one looks delicious. I'm even incredibly fascinated with this Chick-fil-A vs. Popeye's chicken sandwich debate . . . I've never had fried chicken at either.

You are such a angelic cook 👩‍🍳 You really make cooking 🥘 such a easy Peasy for us. Appreciate you sooooo much Love u 😍 Your recipes are just sooo Gud

Absolutely love you and your cooking. I followed you on MasterChef season 2 and you were my fav!! Please keep cooking amazing food like you are now. You inspire me to cook ♥️

I really enjoyed this. The recipe looks delicious and the presentation is top notch. Kudos.

I made this using pork cutlet. It was good. I used both Basil & Curry leaves.

yes

Maam, your Voice and your smile is so Soothing😌

Okay, I have binged all your show and how are you staying so lean with all these tasty foods??? LOL, I am gaining weight just watching it. I have learned so much from you though and LOVE all the details you share!

I love your videos! Super genuine, easy to follow and enthusiastic!

Taiwanese food is No.1 of the world👍

Your recipes Marion are amazing and simple❤️👍🏼👏🏻💐

Wow I’ve been following you now for about a month and I love all your videos. I can’t wait to try this one 😍

Hi Marion, great video as always! Just want to know that if I can fry the basil first to get that flavour into the oil and then use that oil to fry the chicken? Thanks

This is the first Taiwan food that i tasted and liked so much. And that's 1995. Thanks for sharing this😋!

They make popcorn calamari and chicken like this at my local bubble tea spot with the fried basil..... yum

So many good recipes there aren't enough days in my week to try them all......but I am giving it a shot ! =)

Damn it I shouldn't have watched. Now I'm hungry again and I just ate.

The sheer joy she has when cooking!!! Love this!
