Sister here! Was visiting when he made this and can vouch, it's 11/10! Also, glad you like the birthday gift, gotta stay caffeinated to keep pumpin out the bangers!

[@martijnbuunk]

But did he really used smirnoff as a wodka?....

[@perotinofhackensack2064]

What a great post. You have to be a VIP mention here. Your brother is doing a good job. And to be his sister you must be highly talented, whatever the heck you're up to! Nice to see the family chime in. Keep it up. Maybe one day, a cameo appearance? Ok, ok, unlikely, I understand... 😁

[@AliceBowie]

I love this channel. There's lots of cooking channels on yt, but this one might have the best tricks. I loved the old 80s shows like Yan Can Cook with Martin Yan and Wok With Yan with Stephen Yan, but they had to pad out the time with jokes and stuff. This channel is the best for just giving info, with clear instructions and great visuals.

[@farmageddon]

Thank you, Alice! I’m glad you like the videos!

Jason is the all time home cook takeout champion, he has saved me so much money from not eating out

[@farmageddon]

Pleasure to be of service! I’m glad y’all like the recipes!

[@MrShtrudL]

Oh my god YESS I've made almost every single one of your recipes so far and every single one is outstanding, I cannot wait to make this!! Thank you so much!!

[@farmageddon]

Thank you for watching and trying the recipes! I appreciate you!

[@lalunafate]

I've been using your takeout recipes for several chicken recipes, it's so versatile and tastes amazing

[@lulolean]

Your videos are awesome and the recipes taste good! We’ve made a number of them. My family agrees. The only thing we would change in the video is that we miss the “Mmmm” part where you tell us how good it tastes after you put the bite in your mouth. You say you’ll taste it but then we never hear you talk about the taste. Keep making these videos!

[@AlindBack]

I have found your recipes to be the best for getting those copy-cat dishes at home, and I've been waiting for this one. So glad to finally have a practical to make at home version.

[@nazgul7914]

dude you are the real deal. subscribed because you provided the recipe with gram measurements and how much research went into your recipes.

[@farmageddon]

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@lesssalt]

I like how in any of your videos I watched so far, I can find something I didn't know - and learned. It's nice how the WHY a recipe step happens is equally important as the HOW the recipe step happens.

[@farmageddon]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I sincerely appreciate your support!

[@ryanadams0922]

So its almost the same as Genral tsos chicken. Interesting. Very good. My Chinese culinary arsenal keeps on growing thanks to you. I patiently await for more dishes you are planning to make. Espesially the boneless spare ribs. Again I wait patiently.

[@forkandspoonie]

Thank you for this wonderful recipe we’ll make often. Big Kenji fan here. I (in Asheville) lost my joy & even all desire to cook after Helene. But this video makes me want to run into the kitchen & start cooking again.

[@farmageddon]

Sorry to hear Helene has affected y’all! I hope everyone is okay!

[@forkandspoonie]

@@farmageddon we are very lucky & yes. Getting back my love of cooking after watching your newest video has been fantastic. I know now that we’ll be ok, many thanks for all you do!

Never thought I'd be celebrating advertisements but I'm so glad you got a sponsorship with Trade. Congrats!

[@farmageddon]

Thank you so much! I’ve really enjoyed my vanilla lattes. They’re very good! I highly suggest checking them out. They have a ton of great coffee!

[@todddaniel6539]

AWWWWWE YEAH!! Farmer for the weekend! Thanks as always for the video. Your approach to keeping it “crispy” and your take on the sauce is much appreciated and BIG BRAINED! Thank you for documenting the process in your fantastically detailed way and giving credit to the places you find your inspiration!

[@farmageddon]

Hey, Todd! Great to see you again! :)

[@w.rowechmura8414]

Definitely making. Love the “fry right from the freezer” move....

[@worsel555]

Watching the video now and not done, but felt like commenting. I never liked how store bought orange juice turns out in these recipies, it always tastes bitter to me when I am done cooking it. It takes more time, but fresh squeezed with some added sugar really gives that orange flavor without the bitterness. Looking forward to trying your recipe with store bought and extract though, hope it works 😊

[@farmageddon]

Yeah, my biggest complaint with orange chicken is you can never taste the orange. It just tastes like a standard sweet and sour sauce. The orange extract fixes that problem.

[@فلسطينحره-ح6ب]

Yay! Another video your videos are literally a treasure for everyone I hope you can also try making desserts Food i hope you make it soon kfc chicken strips, fried chicken , Burger king 's burger and pizza hut pizza And thank so much! I can see the amount of effort you put in your videos

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Jason, I am obsessed with your content! Keep up the amazing work!

LOVE Orange chicken! It looks great! Suggestion: try tres leches cake ❤❤❤❤❤

[@farmageddon]

Thank you, Daniel! Great to see you!

[@StrangeOccultist]

Jason, how do you get the oil smell out of your kitchen? It’s what prevents me from deep frying / frying in general so often. Thank you.

[@farmageddon]

There’s really no getting around it, unfortunately. I do blow fans while I’m cooking though.

[@GrandpaGunther]

These videos need more views. This is so detailed.

[@KaldekBoch]

I wondered why your General Tso's stayed crispy even after being in the fridge and reheated the next day, and now I know! It's the same process you listed here.

[@dedelin4356]

Thanks Jason for another informative, delicious recipe. Always look forward to your video's

[@farmageddon]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate you!

[@Mike_Greentea]

I was hoping you would do a recipe on orange chicken!

[@sugarapple5465]

Yay thankss for making this video 😍 I really wanted to learn that and it just wasn’t working. Hopefully it works now 🙏🙏

[@asexualpanic_]

Oh man, I need to try that Kenji breading method. Thanks for all the nuggets of information in the video! I'm definitely hitting up drinktrade for that coffee xD

[@farmageddon]

Nice! Trade is really great. Surprisingly, I had never made a vanilla latte before. But I’m hooked now!

[@bobnewkirk7003]

Orange Chicken is one of my guilty pleasures as someone who eats GF, so just the sauce recipe alone is a great add to my roster. I'll have to look into a GF version using a different starch. Thanks for putting this together, its another great video.

[@farmageddon]

Thank you, Bob! Great to see you!

[@Johnorv]

Wake up, Jason dropped a new vid! Jason, really appreciate you man.

[@farmageddon]

[@fatcat22able]

@toasted7135 Who tf asked you

[@italiana626sc]

@@toasted7135 It's a perfect substitute for us vegetarians.

[@farmageddon]

There’s a restaurant in uptown Houston called Mai’s that I used to go to with an ex-gf. She turned me on to their General Tso’s tofu. That’s probably the only time I’ll order tofu over meat. It’s the really firm kind and they deep fry it. It’s so good.

[@italiana626sc]

@@farmageddon There's a restaurant near me that makes it, too. It's a great preparation. Honestly, anything General Tso's would taste great!

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the video 👍🏻 orange chicken is really good

[@farmageddon]

Hey, Ronnie! Great to see you!

[@-RONNIE]

@farmageddon You as well 👊🏻 I always like watching the videos & keep up the good work.

[@nicksummers8320]

My local grocery store is on the small side and since you mention a lot of these ingredients are available at 'most grocery stores' I thought you might find it funny that the only ingredient you mentioned that they *don't* have is *orange extract*, of all things! (Well, and Vodka, but they aren't allowed to sell that)

[@DreadKyller]

I'd love you to cover Sesame chicken at some point, I've followed various recipes and have had really good results, but I'd be interested to see what nuggets of info you find in addition.

[@farmageddon]

My version would basically be the General Tso’s minus the chili peppers and with sesame seeds added.

[@Nothinmuchbaby]

This guy might be the only parent in history who means it when he says “We have that at home!” 😂🔥

[@philochristos]

I didn't like orange chicken when I was a kid, but now I do.

[@farmageddon]

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.”

[@sarumarkose6507]

Hi Jason! Can you please recreate recipes from Sweetgreen! Appreciate your work!

[@tatecheddar]

I gotta say, I never usually make anything in large batches and freeze it, but I think I might just get me a couple of packs of thighs and make several small packs of this and freeze them. Then I can have orange chicken at a moments notice whenever I want.

[@farmageddon]

Yeah, it’s great for meal prep!

[@Takeawayjustin]

I think bro is on a hitlist

[@farmageddon]

It’s cool. We’re all packin’ down here in Texas!

[@fullhalfadder]

Can you still use the freezer technique with the improved method?

[@farmageddon]

For sure! Just freeze it after the first fry. Same as the traditional method.

[@kyrastuart1920]

Looks amazing! I noticed you have bags of Gordon’s in your freezer. I hope you are researching a copycat recipe.

[@farmageddon]

Guilty pleasure! I’ll definitely do a fried fish video in the future!

[@kyrastuart1920]

@@farmageddon Yay! Guilty pleasure for us, too! East Texas doesn’t have fish and chips options that aren’t catfish, so it would be greatly appreciated!

[@farmageddon]

I have a bunch of family that lives in East Texas. My aunt married a Cajun and they all live around Liberty/Beaumont/Kountze area. Good stuff. There's some great boudin and Cajun food at random gas stations out there.

[@FunSam]

Can your still freeze the chicken between the first and second deep fry with the Kenji Lopez method?

[@farmageddon]

For sure!

[@MrThedennisblack]

Every time this guy says “orange” it kills me. I know it’s a completely normal and common pronunciation in some parts of the country, but it’s not common where I’m from and it just makes me laugh every time. They’ve thrown a long e in their for some reason “oreenge chicken”

[@farmageddon]

Most of my friends tell me I have a very neutral accent. But there are some words where the Southern accents leaks out! The word oil is another one.

[@farmageddon]

Hey, what’s up dude! I actually have a few bags of that in my pantry. I also have their BetterBind. I haven’t tested them out much yet though. I hear they work well.

[@Mr.KnuckolasCage]

I always find it funny when recipes say it only takes 10 min, either it's cause I have a big family (have to scale up recipes about 3x) or it's because I'm a slow cook I wouldn't even have the chicken cut up in 10 minutes.

[@farmageddon]

Well, it really only takes about 10 minutes if you do all the prep and freeze it. More realistically, if you count all the steps, it probably takes about an hour.

[@zoroarka9969]

I'm gonna be stabbed for this, but I like the soggy chicken that's still barely crispy and has been sitting for like 30 minutes

[@farmageddon]

Yeah, that’s the kind we all grew up eating. It’s also the most common version you’ll find in takeout restaurants. I slightly prefer the crispy version. But they’re both legit.

[@thekevorlando]

Hey brother I just want to let you know I really enjoy the videos but MSG is a confusing ingredients it's not made for flavor it actually has a chemical reaction with your mind to tell you you like something more than you do and it's not really good for your body I know a lot of people say it's just small amounts but you look at most every recipe anymore and people are putting MSG in it something like a wet batter I use like a good quality mushroom soy sauce or if I want to go really crazy I'll take an anchovy and take my liquid battery and Blitz it one or two of them in it just saying I believe there's probably very little healthy qualities to a good soft Chinese chicken especially with the levels of sugar that we're taking but at least sugar is Pretty Natural MSG is a synthetic major place some of the items I said and that mushroom soy sauce well it's just good on everything even if you just going to make butter noodles with Parmesan cheese put a little bit on their beforehand you'll see what I mean

[@farmageddon]

Yeah, there are a bunch of natural foods that are high in glutamates. But I think the controversy over MSG is largely overblown.
