Brian is literally the best type of famous. Man got the bag, now he's just out doing whatever he wants to. Which seems like mainly golf and food and I'm so jealous

[@jasonkeith2832]

I think he also does show up on some of the other casts' podcasts.

[@zonedout6432]

Also seems just so chill

[@fletcherred123]

the secret is to not undercook the chicken

[@jimbruttan69420]

It also helps to not overcook it because then it becomes baby food

Brian is simultaneously the most intimidating looking man I've ever seen and a big teddy bear and it's the best thing ever

Here let me help - go watch it 😂

[@professornuke7562]

My Mum (RIP in April) used to make something like this back when were kids in the '70s strictly birthday and party food only. She used cornflakes and plain salt crinkle cut potato chips 50/50 and use to egg them onto the chicken. She crushed the breading between two sheets of parchment with a rolling pin. She baked it in the oven and it was great. It was my late sister's birthday go to until she left home. So long Mum, so long Sis, and so long my boy Sage who loved it too.

I want a Brutal Foods where Ian tries making this (probably in a microwave). At least it would be better than those awful looking hotdogs.

[@Duckman8213]

“He has an exceptional mouth!” 😂

[@claytonrios1]

I do want to know what else is in that Twilight cookbook... Out of morbid curiosity.

[@twofacedmgrim]

I'd guess something like candied rose petal cookies with a pomegranate glaze.

[@PsychoNerd92]

​@@claytonrios1 You can find a preview on Google Books that includes the first 2 chapters. It seems like it's mostly just normal food with Twilight names (Wolf Pack Waffles or The Bella Bruscetta) with the occasional quote from the book that, sometimes very vaguely, ties into a recipe.

Bro thank you I’ve been asking KZbin chefs this for at least a year now😂

[@ashakydd1]

I don't know what this is, but I want it done anyway.

[@stellamcwick8455]

Actualy, the secret is to flash fry the Chicken for about 3-4 minutes and then finish cooking in a 400F oven for 45 minutes. Turning every 15. You get the chicken fully cooked, not too brown, and still moist. Also, let the flour set for 10 minutes before the egg wash. It gives the flour a chance to absorb the moisture from the chicken and properly adhere.

[@BigBoct]

I remember my mom buying Corn Flakes by the box and using them for breading, and my stepdad finishing the box for breakfasts for a few days after Mom cooked.

[@joeschmoe4361]

"He's nicer than he seems" 😂

[@inplfw]

Before the intro Andrew calls his employees indentured servants. Before the outro Brain posits that Andrew is nicer than he seems. My brain is playing tug-o-war.

[@SnatchBandegrip]

He calls his employees, "Bishes"

[@deborahelias5109]

Family favorite, but we use tenders, drizzle with butter and bake. Flakes get smashed in a Ziploc with a rolling pin. Salt, pepper and garlic powder go in the flakes prior to coating. ♥️

[@swayingpalmtree23]

No one wants to mention that Kellogg's has had a cornflakes coated baked chicken recipe on the back of the box before?

[@GeorgeBraun10]

You should make the "spicy" food from Dune/Dune 2.

[@LucasBenderChannel]

Brian honestly fits into the show so well. Better than any other guest you've ever had on. It just works. 😄

[@danishakwa]

how many times has brian been to the babish studio by now?

[@ginnyweatherbee7941]

[@Yolligraphone]

Bryan's normal voice reminds me of a more enthusiastic Jamie Hyneman.

[@lydiamourningstar2028]

Jamie voice with Adam energy lol

[@VangoghsDoggo]

Cornflake Chicken used to be printed on the side of the box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. My mother made it all the time. Crush the cornflakes until fine, add poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in egg and milk wash. bread it with the crumbs. Place it on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake at 325 until done, about an hour. Turns out crispy without the deep fry. I line the cookie sheet with foil and bake it on the rack that fits the cookie sheet sprayed with oil. That way the bottom gets crispy also.

[@thealmightyduck335]

I feel like at this point, Brian needs his own spinoff: Binging With Brian

[@12301231234]

Chicken crust options are wildly variable. Corn flakes? Yeah. Sour cream and onion potato chips? Sure. Tortilla chips? You betcha. Anything vaguely breadish and crumbly can work. Go nuts.

[@strawbearie9469]

now i want to try it with Fritos

[@h4tch3tt74]

​@@strawbearie9469 Then eat the chicken with chili for a frito chicken chili

[@CraigBeere]

I add powdered orange drink (Raro, Refresh, Tang, whatever is available where you are) and powdered ginger to the crumb.

At the risk of offending Twilight fans, that chicken recipe perfectly encapsulates the personalities of Edward and Bella- bland and basic.

Great guy, love his sense of humor, love both episodes I've seen him in. Please bring Brian on for more than Office episodes. I will gladly watch them all.

[@BubblegumLightsaber]

Cornflake chicken is nostalgic for me (even though I haven't had it in probably decades), my mom used to make it (also rice krispie chicken, which is the same thing but with rice krispies) when I was growing up in the '80s and '90s. I think the recipe she used was slightly different, iirc she used mayo as the... sticking agent? and I don't think she removed the skin. Also it was baked in the oven without frying.
