I really appreciate your emphasis on the “clean as you go” method while cooking. I do this every meal and it is so time effective!

The quality this channel has is so overwhelming

Just so you know you're missing a 0 in the timestamp for step-by-step so it has the whole recipe as "intro" at the moment

Ethan's Roomate: "I bet you can't make a chicken sandwich before I can get Chik-fil-A." Ethan: "Hold my beer, I got this."

"you can do other things while it's cooking" i see we have learned from the comments on the pasta boiling video that this needs to be stated explicitly ;)

Pro tip: you can make buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. If you do this you will get a much more satisfying crunchy breaded chicken

This man takes the biggest bites of any food youtuber.

Well, I know what I'm eating tomorrow.

Hey Ethan you should really do a video about frying oil, like the amount of oil you actually need to fry different things, how many times you can reuse fried oil and the change in flavour reused oil gives! Anyways great video!

"Let's go get a sandwich at Chik-fil-A." "Dude, it's Sunday. They are closed." "Let's make a better sandwich faster and cheaper!"

This was so delicious! The second time I made it, I toasted the bun a bit on a nonstick pan (no butter or browning) and then placed the onions on top of the lettuce so that the juices and sauce wouldn’t soak into the bun. :)

strategically releasing this on sunday, when all the best chicken sandwich restaurants are closed.

god i want to make a chicken sandwich now :)

I never comment but man your videos are just so damn good. It's logical + easy + fast + good and you explain what your doing and don't skip the minor things! Like cmon can't get any better. Really happy to see your channel has grown so much!

"ok it's time to eat my friends" Well that escalated quickly

I just made these in two attempts. Here are some pointers... First, they're awesome. But keep these things in mind... 1. I wouldn't drizzle the chicken milk into the flour mix. If you drizzle too much, it turns into a sticky dough almost immediately and you'll have to start that part all over. 2. If you're going to fry in a pan or deep pot, use a screen to catch the splatter. 3. I'd turn the heat to medium or medium-high after the oil reaches temp, otherwise the oil may get too hot during the frying part. This happened to me during my second cook with one chicken thigh. 4. Heat the oil and fry the chicken outside with the wok, pan, etc., on the grill (if your wok, pan, etc., are compatible with being used on a grill) because this *will* stink up your kitchen! 5. Finally, temperature check your chicken at 6 and 7 minutes. They'll go the last 10-20 degrees super fast! You don't want to overcook them. Again, these were delicious, so hopefully this helps!

Just made this for dinner (with some homemade buns), great, speedy recipe. Honestly adding this to my “what’s for dinner tonight?” toolkit

Anytime he’s frying something I feel this tension between him and Ragusea

Ethan, I really appreciate that you provided the exact gram measurements of the ingredients. Since I use a kitchen scale often it helps with knowing exactly how much to use so that we're not guessing too much as to where foods or ingredients get wasted and thrown away or not too little to where it receipe doesn't come out accurate.

Don't try me Ethan, I once turned a 5 minute recipe into a 2 day recipe without changing anything

Like many, I rarely have butter milk on hand because I don't use it enough. The fact that he used Milk and vinegar is very important. He glossed right over this point, but in fact adding vinegar to milk creates homemade buttermilk.

0:29 I swear to God he just said he loves cocaine

No BS, no goofing around, just straight to the point, with awesome cooking techniques! Thanks Ethan🍻

Recently discovered your channel. It’s quickly becoming my favorite cooking channel. I really appreciate the content.

Just made this - very easy to follow and the instructions were on point. I really like the mindset of cleaning while you wait for the chicken to fry. That is a principle everyone can use in the kitchen. Appreciate it man, the sandwich turned out awesome!

Great tip with the oil, will definitely use that

Me ans my wife tried this last night, took us 38min, but we did have to skin and bone the thighs. Room for improvement, but that's not the point, how good are they, the trlck with the milk and vinegar is amazing (difficult to get buttermilk in the U.K.) and the rub with starch, outstanding. Great video on all fronts. Thank you sir.

mate, found you today. you are so good. I've watched so much cooking on youtube, and never have they been so talkative around the "around" things like cleaning (which I've seen you mention in a couple of videos.) Thanks mate!

Nice! Would be awesome if you do some other 20min recipes.

Just made this. Honestly incredible. This is the first thing I've ever cooked at home successfully, and it's so quick and easy

Trevor Bowman's Nana say hi! He referred me. Love the show and have watched 20 of them already.

Loved the music in the back. What an amazing video, love your channel hope it'll grow much bigger and you always keep that casual atmosphere!

Ethan: *makes pancakes* “Can’t forget my special sauce with mayo, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup”

I started watching your channel because your recipes were pretty great. After watching a couple videos I felt like I had seen you before, plus Chlebowski sounded familiar. I'm pretty sure I went to highschool with you and your brother. If you are who I think you are, I'm glad to see you doing good work with your videos.

Love this type of video! Practical, easy to replicate, stuff we have on hand. Nice work!

Your videos are absolutely amazing. Cant stand when people try to overcomplicate basic foods, great job!

Heck yeah!!! So pumped to watch another Ethan video 😁😁

I do basically the same thing, but I add an egg to the milk and I season the chicken with garlic/onion powder and salt/pepper.

This is cooking, this is exactly how cooking videos should be done. You are the hero world needed.

I love to cook as much as possible. This is great to add to a weeknight meal list. More content similar to this idea/goal, please. Thanks, Ethan.

Finally, a simpler version. Now, I can try this at home. Thank you so much!

this chicken looks just like how they make it at my local mom and pop southern food restaurant. it would pair incredibly well with some homemade biscuits (maybe a good enough reason to keep buttermilk on hand...)

I have been watching cooking videos for last 14 years. But i never came across ur videos... How come.. i really wonder!!! Great job..u r for sure one of the best cooks who can relate to us and honest wid d stuff...

Looks sooo good.

as always, a great video !! Thanks for sharing your tip about saving your oil... I hope people do this ! What a money saver !! And you just can't have a sandwich without pickled onions !

I just tried this recipe and my son loved it. He has become pretty picky so this was a win. Thank you very much for the help!!!

And the pickled onions make yet another appearance! ;) Fried chicken is always welcome in my mouth haha, love this sandwich, and looks super crispy on the outside too! Light and crunchy! 😊

Make a habit of keeping a couple cans of evaporated milk in your pantry. I mix a half can of that with some lemon juice and whatever spice mix I'm using that day and marinate with that. When it comes time to coat it with breading, the thick milk mixture holds onto the breading beautifully. If you don't have a use for the second half of the can of milk, just pour it in a freezer bag and freeze it for next time.

Super beginner friendly for someone like me. Thank you! Can we get more videos like this?

Hi Ethan, personally speaking, a series of quick recipes, cheap with low amount of ingredients would be really interesting. It's a great way to get into cooking, for those just starting out. Plus, like you said in the video 90% of your cooking is in this style, and for most people the goal is closer to 100% of their cooking. Great work, really love your channel :).

I like how descriptive he’s across his videos with key tips and the reasons behind them.

I love how this recipe is just for two! Thank you!! I will be making this!

As much as I love to learn and master no-shortcut recipes, videos like this which teach everyday techniques are even more valuable. Thank you, and keep them coming!

big fan of this style of max results/effort video. also love mentioning to clean up as you cook. feels like most other cooking channels gloss over that aspect of home cooking

Made the recipe but used a buttermilk brine as I had time, was easily one of the burgers I've tasted. Keep up the good work!

Kick-started my cooking mate, my fiancé is very happy. Thanks man :)

I really appreciate that Ethan has the parts pointed out in the video bar. I love being able to skip to what I need

dude i literally JUST made this and it was fucking great! thank you so much for the recipe. never fried at home before but it was really easy!

This gave me heavy Adam Ragusea vibes due to the “you do you” base of the video

Mmm! I’m def going to be trying this!

Thanks Ethan, good clean cut recipe/method. Tips about coating are very helpfull. Finished product is totally appetizing. RMH/Ohio

Measuring ground pepper by cranks makes so much sense. I´m gonna start doing it too.

Ethan, the first thing I noticed were the pickled onions ;) My favorite topping in the fridge !

Wow. Made this recipe last night and people LOVED it. this is gonna be a main stay in my arsenal for the rest of my life!!

I joined the pickled onion club, now I always have a jar ready for any sandwich or burger I want to do.

I know most people don't have cheesecloth to strain their oil, but I've found that a clean dishcloth works immensely better that a paper towel or a paper napkin. 4:04

Ethan’s DIY cooking at its best!

"I'd probably have to wait in line [at Chik-fil-A] for at least a couple orders" The line for the one near me is pretty much always out the door. A couple orders indeed lol

thanks ethan, very cool

Great tips, like the small simple details on how to tidy up and how to reuse the oil. Nice touch.

YES!! THIS IS WHAT I WANT!! THANK YOU ETHAN YOU DAMN LEGEND!!!!

I also never have buttermilk in my fridge BUT I started buying buttermilk powder, and just about always have THAT in my fridge.

I've been watching your videos for inspiration for some time, but this is the first recipe I've tried with only minor modifications and I've gotta say I loved it. The first time I have deep fried anything, but definitely not the last!

Whenever I say my cooking guy has made a new video, my wife knows exactly who I'm talking about and we run to the nearest TV

Made this today. Turned out great! Also, just made my first batch of pickled onions too. ...and I cook grilled chicken breast the way you do every single time now. I love and really appreciate your science based approach to simple, optimized recipes.

Really amazing sandwich. Very simple method, no fancy things just what you need. Thank you so much!

I seriously think you are the best cooking channel to come about since binging with babish. Keep up the great work!

4:15 When you been in lockdown with your roommates for months and you finally ran out of Top Ramen.

Tried the pickled onions. Turned out great, now I need to make some more since they already run out. Tried smash burgers. After many semi satisfactory tries with electric grill I bought a flat cast iron gril for gas stove just for this dish. After making it (and opening all windows in my apartment due to amounts of smoke) I could not believe how simple, quick and delicious these burgers are! Tried burger bun baking. Turned out more crispy than soft and fluffy mostly due to fact they were to be eaten in 12 hours. And were not stored in sealed plastic bags but paper one. This one convinced my to buy kitchen thermometer. Now I am tempted to try deep frying for the first time and this recipe looks like the winner in my eyes. I actually have chicken breast frozen so I might actually go and do it now. Ever since I discovered this channel I have been using the recipes from it regularly. As mentioned, be it buying thermometer, iron grill or wok, I am expanding my cooking horizons thanks to you Ethan. Is spelt flour available in US? If so, then I have a very nice recipe for spelt flour honey bread to showcase, perhaps some time in future 😊

Thank you soooo much, i just followed this recipe loosely and it was great. this knowledge will be my undoing

I have a request for you, Ethan. Everytime I try to make banana bread, it turns out ultra dense, gummy and rubbery. I don't overmix in my opinion, just enough to incorporate thoroughly. I have tried multiple recipes but none produce a desired result. If you would be so kind as to break down each component and make an ultimate recipe (with explanations because I'm a food science geek), I'd be so grateful. Thanks!

I really like videos like this, I can usually remember the recipe in my head and throw it together whenever I want

You use the same Walmart peanut oil I do! Cornstarch is really key. Usually fast food chains use flour and cornstarch, but you got a great coating with cornstarch and milk! If you use two thin tenderloins, they can fry up in a minute or two. Chick-Fil-A uses them in their sandwich sometimes.

This video is definitely on my favourite list.... 😍😍😍 Quick- when I'm hungry, I'm really hungry! 30mins is all I can wait or I'll freak out!!! & Simple- Everything I need is in the kitchen! Little preparations as possible! Minimum washing & cleaning up!

i just finished making this and it’s *chef’s kiss*. will definitely be making plenty of these. thanks for the recipe!

I really like your videos. They’re short and to the point with good methods that anyone can do themselves. I tried to clean as I go too. I’m definitely going to give this recipe a shot. Thanks Ethan!

Just made this for my wife and I yesterday. Delicious!!

This took me 35 minutes, but 15ish minutes were spent gathering ingredients. I really love this recipe, think you

That's a pretty good looking sandwich and is easy to make

We just finished eating deep fried chicken according to your recipe and tips and it turned out great. Definitely it's gonna be a staple of our family cooking, especially that we don't have a good fried chicken joint where I live. All the best from Poland!

You should do a series called “But Faster” (original ik), making fast-food food faster and better

Been watching your videos recently, and I must say, this one got me subbed. I really liked your other videos, but this one was the one that made me ask myself "Have I subscribed to this channel yet?" Yes is now the answer to that question

I tried this recipe, and since it was my first time frying and it took me like 4 hours, it was the best chikan samitch i've ever had!

Tried this recipe today and was blown away by how good and easy it is. The simple combination of spices for the flour/breading was a winner. Some of my comments are: 1.) The chicken itself was a little bland, but the breading kinda made up for it. 2.) I didn't get the crunch that you had, so envious! Will surely be trying this recipe again with some tweaks.😊

Just made this with some pickled onions, kewpie mayo, and roast vegetables (according to your recipe) tonight. Absolute delicious dinner. Such great recipes Ethan!

I made this today and it was incredible! Such an easy and quick recipe. You deserve all the love you've been getting recently! ❤️

youre the best dude, your videos are so professional, straight forward and simple. Keep it up

Pretty solid, I went nicer with Buttermilk and it turned out good. Love the focus on the cleanup, and discussing how to "keep on the move" by multitasking around the kitchen. Great channel that's not burdened by ads, sponsors, yet provides solid content with good research. Thanks man!

Made this for lunch today on a toasted brioche bun with thinly sliced yellow onion and pickles, topped with the same sauce you made. Sooooo good! Great way to use up boneless skinless chicken thighs. Love your videos Ethan 😁
