If a pro chef gives away his literally award winning recipe, that’s how you know he’s confident in his product. He knows you’re not getting close to what he can do haha

Classically trained chef comes home to revive his family’s restaurant. Sounds like The Bear. Great story. This fried chicken looks amazing!

The chicken looks absolutely delicious. Never seen a glass frying pot but I like it.

Totally on the menu this week. Love that this guy is just giving away his recipe. Hope the restaurant goes massive. We've seen Michelin stars for dumpling houses, why not fried chicken?

Holy cow, this man is incredible! To just whip up that delicious-looking ranch outta nowhere after having produced that ridiculous chicken is the mark of a master.

There are some interesting steps there. Seems like an improved Nashville chicken. I always just did flavored buttermilk never thought about making a paste out of it. While I add szechuan peppercorns to my Nashville chicken spices, I've never heard of smoke power or vinegar powder. And the duck fat was a nice touch, I use butter for a similar idea as while i like Nashville chicken something always kind of feels weird to use the fry oil, as i don't really like the taste of peanut oil, but i do like butters taste and it works with buffalo wings but who doesn't like the taste of duck fat. Seriously cool idea, need to try and incorporate them.

Since I started making my chicken with buttermilk marinade, I've never changed the way of preparation, it's my favourite method! It's a real game changer!

Finding all the ingredients was a bit challenging. Started at the regular grocery chain, then ended up at a decent sized Chinese Market. STILL did not have everything I needed. Had to turn to Amazon for about 6 things. Chicken tasted AMAZING both with and without the chili sauce. Did I make the ranch...no, opted to save time and used a cilantro lime crema sauce from Costco. Before you go down this path, just realize its a bit of an investment getting all the stuff, and it's quite a bit of work. But like most things that take time and effort, totally worth it in the end.

WHY did I watch this hungry? Ugh my mouth is watering. This looks incredible... And y'all have great energy! You should do more videos together!

What a pleasant human Eric is.....looks amazing! That garden ?!?!??! insane!!! SO lucky and well deserving Mike!!!

Amazing video, Eric seems like such a charismatic and talented cook. Really cool having him on here and showing his special recipe to everyone

You can tell he did so much experimentation for this recipe. His training definitely shows, how he is able to break down each step and explain WHY he chose to do it his way. Damn, I know what Im making this week. Definitely increasing my fried chicken game thanks to him. Could use his techniques for so many different recipes. Thank you for this video!!!!

Hey great production value honestly the little animations the interview, showcase of the recipe. I sort of forgot I was watching a KZfaq channel this could have been like an episode on TV. great work!

I bought an air fryer bc of your channel bro, thx, my life changed as I started eating new types of meals

I can't believe he was nice enough to give away his recipe. I've been on a fried chicken kick for a minute and can't wait to try this. Now I just need to find green garlic 🤔🤔

Glad to see The Deep taking up a new passion in the form of cooking, good job man!

Ok, so... That looked delicious! Chef Eric Huang seems to be a genuine friendly person. I like that he walked us through the process. Excellent video. I want that chicken!

I love this series of you having different cooks and chefs over to your kitchen. Mike you are literally the reason I have finally started cooking outside of my comfort zone. I have become such a better cook. Thank you so much. I would like to see a vid on something like what spices go with different spices .. what works with others... Kinda like a choose your own recipe with love kinda thing. How to cook with out a recipe thing.

The fastest I've ever seen someone breakdown a chicken was Hung Hyunh on the speed challenge on Top Chef. If I remember correctly, he broken down 5 chickens in less than a minute. Tom Colicchio's mouth was open. He had never seen someone breakdown chicken so fast.

I have never wanted fried chicken more in my life than right this moment!

"smoke powder and rice vinegar powder" I just learned about some new ingredients to play around with.

this video was nothing but pure goodness! WOW I love it! That spice mix is intense!! Thank you graciously!

Fuck YESSSSS. Eric Huang you are a true chef/artist sharing what needs to be shared. Mike, well played.

Amazing. Cannot even imagine how incredible it would taste. Such a humble guy. Thank you Eric for sharing.

Thank you so much Eric for sharing this recipe! It means a lot when chefs share their recipes so that everyone can enjoy and not just the people able to visit your restaurant. Though that would be amazing and I definitely will have to visit soon!! Mike, great job and I’m excited to see what amazing things come out of this new space you’ve built to thrive in!!! One thing, is there a link for where we can purchase that glass pot? I’ve been in the market for one forever and I don’t trust the ones I see online, lol. Thank you!!

I can't believe you payed homage to Martin Yan! I learned so many techniques from him that I continue to use today. 30 seconds to quarter a chicken, I was doing it when I was 18. Of course I haven't quartered a chicken in years, being plant based now, but the memories! Thank you!

UNCLE RODGERS IS GOING TO LOVE THIS

Not sure I'm able to make the entire recipe as shown, but there's so many good tips along the way that a home cook can easily incorporate into their own recipe. Adding the flour to the marinade, adding in corn and potato starch to the dredge, double frying, the chili paste.

This is dope! Would love to see more of these and see how other chefs cook. So much nuance, skill, and experience. Great learning experience and fun to watch!

This made me so hungry! An excellent segment! Great recipe.

The Chef is super nice for giving away his recipe! Thanks!🥰

I watched Eric pick his herbs for the ranch like 6 times. Like a kid in a candy store. Super cool segment. Genuine joy is rare to catch

That fried chicken looks so good, and sounds so crunchy!

what? been watching since 2 bros, I always thought you worked in professional kitchens all your life. no formal school, just street school. totally valid, many excellent chefs are kitchen taught, not classroom taught (even if the classroom is a giant kitchen)

Love the Martin Yan shoutout! I had the pleasure of meeting him and the even greater pleasure of seeing him cook!

Fantastic video. Loved the all the details and seeing his technique. Mike should do a video purely on his garden: what he's growing, irrigation, and any other tips he'd like to share.

The recipe is nowhere to be found on the blog site. The direct link doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have a working list?

dawg the sound of that crunch just made me inspired to grab a chicken at the store. That was insane

So smart! The starch mixed in with the AP flower, and then to take the inspiration from Nashville fried chicken like that and absolutely elevate it to where he does. Great recipe!

Peking has been one of my FAV places to visit when I'm in the area. So happy to see this.

I couldn't find the recipe written out so I did my best to translate from the video. Measurements are estimates. 3.5-4# chicken broken down Seasoning Mix - 3 tbsp kosher salt - 1 tbsp sugar - 1 tbsp msg Marinade - 2 cups buttermilk - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard - 1 tbsp seasoning mix - 1 tbsp 5 spice - 1 tbsp garlic powder - 1 tbsp onion powder - 2 tbsp all purpose flower Spice Oil Mix - Tianjin chilis - Sichuan peppercorns - Hickory Smoke powder - Vinegar powder - 1 qt duck fat Flower Dredge Mix - AP flour - Potato starch - Corn starch - Seasoning Mix Green Garlic Ranch - Green garlic leaves and stem tops (not bulb) - Parsley - Cilantro - Canola oil - Buttermilk - Sour cream - Mayo - Onion powder - Garlic powder - MSG - Splash of rice vinegar 1.

Fry 2nd time to get hot and crispy 8. Coat in Spice Oil Mix

Nice video, he seems like a really genuine guy, don't know why I just get a good vibe from him. The chicken looks really good

So much humility. Chef Eric is a legend.

Oh Martin Yan he was amazing i loved to watch him so much , learn many many things from him. Thank you for giving him a shout out.

The kitchen looks great! I love it, and the clear frying pan, love it!

bringing other chefs is such a good idea, new recipes, new techniques, and expiriences!! keep doing it please

So good. My favourite video of yours so far. Having guests is amazing and going to the garden and making ranch on the go was amazing! Love it!!

First off, this is ALWAYS a lot of work for just a few pieces of chicken. The real nice option is to do up a few cut up fryers(min of 5) and do your initial par fry. it can be frozen and used at another time. Do the final fry and sauce additive to the few pieces you pull for a dinner or party. This works well for ANY paste style recipe. We do about 250 pounds per day in our rest. and pull as needed per order and do a quick fry and baste. Home cooks can prep for future dinners or party plansby just doing some management and thinking a little ahead. Makes for some fantastic dinner, snack or party pieces.

One of the things I love about these cooking videos is that I can take stuff where the restaurant version would be way too hot for me and make a home version I can enjoy.

You know what amazing about this. They make the chicken, eat two portions, then go make a ranch dressing. Just two portions.... the self control. respects.

Cooking as a labor of love! The amount of labor put into that chicken recipe, you know it's gotta be good. Looks Amazing! 👏

This is one of the most intricate and efficient fried chicken recipes I have ever seen. Hats off to Eric, the chef.

My mouth is watering seeing them eat. And I'm Vegetarian, LOL!!!!! Thank you Chef Huang for sharing your recipe!!! I'm off to try to make a vegan version.

This recipe looks amazing. Vinegar powder seems like it can be hard to get a hold of. Do you know how much and what should be substituted?

Eric is so humble, amazing

Awesome video -- great looking fried chicken (esp with the green garlic ranch). THANKS for sharing this beauty!

why didn't they just buy more fryers? might have helped with the waitlist

Caloric bomb 😫

Rewatching months later, this is such a wholesome video. Absolutely love it!

Love this chicken - looks ace. Really loving the new studio and garden too! Would be great to see more of this series with guest chefs, and the interview! Fantastic, keep it up dude!

What a joy this episode was. Thanks.

I'm saving this video! The 💎💎💎 that have been freely given to us! 🤯🥰 THANK YOU!!!!!

His knife skills give me the lady tingles. HE'S DAAAAAMN GOOD WITH A KNIFE!!!

the initial backstory + animations are great

i love his tone of voice so much.... funny enough from the time i head it i was like wait a min i know that voice cuz i saw him on another show b4... i so dig him

I never knew I needed a clear pot in my life until this video. OMG!!

Wow! What an amazing guy! Master chef and shares his recipe! So cool! He seems so very personable, too. Definitely not like some other "famous" chefs I won't mention. Lol Great abundance to you, dear Chef!

Thank you both so much for sharing this with us! I am super excited to try it. Your new kitchen looks great, and that clear frying pot is really cool.

Wow, what an amazing episode! Thanks to Eric for sharing so much knowledge!

My mouth is just watering fetching this video. It’s probably a bit technical for me to do regularly but my my, what a fantastic recipe. Very yummy.❤

You are one lucky guy. To have this man come cook for you. I have been Salivating watching you too eat! I used to live in Brooklyn, know exactly where it is. I may come for a Chicken dinner one Sat?? I now live in Toronto, not far at all...lol ❤

Eric is an awesome guy. Inspirational.

This looks delish! The last type of fried chicken I recreated at home was Howlin Ray's. This will definitely be the next one I do. I love the idea of the tingling sensation added by the Sichuan pepper.

What a super nice guy this chef is.

Wow his knife is top tier. He got through cutting up half the chicken before I even realized he was going through the bones like they're nothing! Awesome video, thank you!

Wow! I love this Peking Sichuan approach to fried chicken. Also the fresh garden herbs!!!! Super inspirational to say the least. I’m going to try this recipe for sure. Thank the chefs and crew for sharing such an amazing approach.

I really enjoyed this format, with the visiting guest chef, the video clips, and also the visit to the garden.

WOK WITH YAN!!!! Grew up watching his show in Canada. Yan was the man! He opened my eyes to cooking in general

Wow I’ve never seen such delicious gnarly, crunchy moist looking fried chicken. This is next level stuff 🙌

This guy knows his craft. I lived in Beijing for a few years and would keenly observe how they cooked everything, it was phenomenal. The crisp-ofication with the sweet spicy sauces absorbing into that beautiful crisping. It’s perfection. Learned a lot from Chinese chefery:). They are truly Masters at everything they do.

love it when you have guests!

I'll have a bucket or two to go thanks... looks delish... mouth watering now

I think I’m going to love this new concept.

The animation on your video is a JACKPOT!!! Such a nice touch! So good!

I love that he gives props to Yan Can Cook! That was my show as a kid!

I love how he’s not claiming to have some super secret recipe mix, just good cooking. I LOVE THIS!

It's so good to hear Nineties famous TV Chef Martin Yan's name from the show 'Yan Can Cook'. I was in primary school and I used to watch the show with my mom. Yan used to arrive in a limo at the beginning of the show and in front of live audience showed his chopping skills with a cleaver..chopped and smashed aromatics on a board. it's a beautiful memory from my childhood. now that I think of it, it was the first cooking show I watched in my life, which eventually has become one of my favourite things to watch for entertainment. Yan Can Cook....Yesss! He would have killed KZfaq if got the chance! Also, after watching hundreds of chicken fried videos, this felt new to me still.... amazing recipe! Cheers!

Dude the Wok With Yan clip! OMG i loved that show as a kid. He was so animated and funny, my parents didn't seem to get it but man I loved that guy.

This is an amazing technique for making chicken and that green garlic ranch dip sounds delish! I'd probably throw in some avocado with it as well!

I love stories like this thx for sharing! 👌

I’m glad u featured him in def goin to check his new spot out

Wow, love the remodel Mike! Also, I'm super jealous of that garden you have! Thanks for all the great content.

I've got to try this soon! Thank you Chef Huang!

Looks and sounds delicious! Also props to the video soundtrack 👍🏾

This looks incredible. So creative. The chili sauce is like a Chinese Michelin-starred Buffalo sauce. I'm sure that description doesn't do it justice. Also Eric seems like the nicest guy.

That chicken looks absolutely delicious!

Mike couldn't stop eating & eyeballing that chicken!!! I'm drooling just watching this!!

All I can say is that this chicken recipe looks sooo good I have to get on waiting list!lol

this is the best fried chicken i've ever had. i love this guy

Looks so good. Loved the spontaneous bonus ranch.
