[@Kyser96]

IMO, the highlight of this video is him teaching people how to make chicken breast. I've struggled with them and had kinda given up on them until this video. Let me tell you, the butterfly, smash, marinade, and really hot cooktop are next level. It's crazy tender and isn't dried out at all. Freaking delicious.

[@GlaciusDreams]

No doubt, great instructions, and a great skill to have.

[@andrewcroissant8453]

Agreed I just tried it tonight and even though I don’t nearly have his skill it was still delicious

[@Constantina.Valenti]

Cooking chicken at a higher temperature for less time is a great way to keep it juicy, same goes for when you're baking chicken too.

[@howtoavenge1016]

Collin i also like YSAC’s method: dry the chicken, cover it in olive oil and salt and pepper, then put it in a 450 degree oven for like 10 minutes. super tasty, super juicy edit: this is a no-butterfly method

[@Craftee6]

No offense, but... You needed instruction for that? It's rather obvious that when as you increase temperature the insides of whatever you're frying get increasingly more raw assuming you get outside to similar states. If it's overcooked it will be dry. So if you get anything dry when frying, just fry on higher heat next time, and vice versa, if it was too raw just reduce the heat. It's sth I learned on my own when I was 15 lmao.

my dad told me that do one on the griddle and one in a pan, when you are done with the one on the pan, set the pan on the other quesadilla to easily cook both sides

[@fourdoorsmoresmores]

I have made these at least once a week for the past 5 years. I found putting onion flakes, and red pepper flakes, and salt really brings flavour and spreads it to where the ingredients don't go. I put a dollop of sour cream right in the center and drizzle the sour cream in a medium spiced hot sauce. I used to use Franks but switched to a Pineapple Habenero sauce I found on Hot Ones. I usually cook with butter but may try with oil to see how it tastes.

[@osnapitzfx4]

Just made this for lunch, I have to say this is one of the best quesadilla recipes I've tried!!! Marinating the chicken really made a huge difference in terms of flavor, compared to many other recipes I've tried where the chicken is really bland and you have to dump alot of condiments just to get a kick. The seasoning and the inclusion of lime was just perfect! It added a tangyness to the chicken and speaking of the chicken, it was just juicy, moist and full of flavor!! I'm actually so glad I chose this recipe while I was scrolling through many others!!

[@Talbaz]

This is a great thing to learn to make, great way to use Leftovers. Also you don't have to oil the pan for quesadillas, most store-bought tortillas/burritos have more then enough oil contain to just dry fry.

[@Justme77400]

I made these (chicken) and they are a HIT! EVERYONE LOVES THEM! I got so many requests for repeat dinners! Thank you! I noticed that when you start assembling them to add some cheese as glue before you add the chicken so you have glue on both sides for a much neater flip when it's time. It stays together.

[@UltraMegaSquirrel]

Oaxaca cheese is the best cheese for quesadillas - it's like mozz, but better, and Mexican

[@passerby5735]

I just tried this and I have to agree. It peels like peel-and-eat cheese sticks but the flavor is much better.

Miles Holder Those kinds of peppers are only bred for spice. I find that the spicier the pepper the worse the flavor. As a guy who grows his own peppers and makes his own hot sauce, don’t eat the peppers that are bred for heat. They aren’t worth it and they don’t go well with any dishes.
