Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken VS. American Popcorn Chicken

[@Yuan0287W]

As a Taiwanese I gotta say both looks very delicious. Bad idea to watch this in midnight 🤤

[@haniffat]

Same, now I'm sleepy AND starving

[@ice_wallowcome2035]

還好現在是中午 **thumbs up**

[@mufasta8322]

Agree. Especially when I happen to have all the ingredients, and then the midnight snack mood gets put on steroids watching this video....

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

Hope you all don’t get invaded by China

[@草羽海紀]

鹹酥雞就是要加炸九層塔啦 It isn't a complete Taiwanese popcorn chicken if it is not served with fried basil.

[@jaycha4983]

I absolutely love both styles, but something about Taiwanese fried chicken always soothes my soul. I always have to get it as a snack from Boba shops whenever it’s available.

@@guardianoftheduat , report it for terrorism and keep doing that whenever you see new bots arise on KZbin. Eventually, they will get the hint, along with threats to them for their evil activities and calls to the authorities where they live.

Both look awesome, my advice....always make both.

I agree

[@merak5086]

Fried basil? I never heard of that. I have to try the Taiwanese tenders with the basil. Looks incredible. I always learn something valuable from these videos, and I love to see the fridge get beaten up. Thank you Chef!

[@eyesforthewise]

Ever cooked before?

[@Sam-iq8nk]

Try it with Thai basil.

[@semperperfect7607]

[@yiwei517]

as a taiwanese, i tell u man, that fried basil is absolutely killing! btw it’d be more mind blowing with some chopped garlic

[@genemachin3]

You got to make sure that it's Thai basil, add a dusting of cayenne pepper and addition to the five-spice blend, and finish with the chopped raw garlic garnish

[@elieruiz7348]

The double angle fridge attacks are epic!!

[@mattpigg3216]

Love the attention to detail to each style-as usual, looks amazing.

[@doodoobrown7551]

Now, I know I don't have to tell you because I know you know. But for any viewers wondering what buttermilk actually does to chicken, it's the acids in it, which are very mild. It breaks down the meat and tenderizes it, instead of toughening it up like stronger acids would.

[@charleswalker2484]

could you just use watered down vinegar for the same effect? or does the milk do something?

One of the best cooking channels on KZbin. I just love them. You are mesmerising to watch. Great content. Maybe I’ll be a better cook if I smash into my fridge more often. Haha Love it.

[@TheDayScream]

Sonny, all I can say is keep being you. I love the recipes, the techniques, and your personality. Attack the fridge again for me, you earned it... or it deserves it...!

[@macklinroberts7818]

These new camera angles + the snappy editing between them gives your videos a MUCH more professional "cooking show" vibe!! I've been watching for a while and will keep watching, you've come so far!

[@lildizzle1291]

You and Sargent Gilbert are doing an amazing job. Your show is so refreshing for a cooking show. Comedy and cooking. Can’t wait to to see your fridge take many more beatings! You know we love you!

[@maxwellrux5523]

[@lizziemomma]

Both look amazing. My husband and I watch all of your videos and we love when you beat up the fridge. We have also tried a few of your recipes already and we can't wait to try these. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.

[@carnal0814]

I hate watching you…because you make me literally start drooling with how good it looks!

[@phoenix0477]

when I lived in Germany I used to make the Thai chicken a lot as I was surrounded by Asian supermarkets. Now I'm in Spain and some ingredients are harder to find. But I always had Sriracha on hand to dip them in. heaven.. think I'll make the American version this week sometime.

[@rwjehs8101]

New Sonny video on a Friday? Fantastic. Not so much for the fridge.

[@wdennis8]

I love your channel. I love the way you bitch your fridge. Of course I come back for the recipes but that uniqueness is still refreshing.

[@debstawecki6843]

This cooking channel is by far the best one I've seen, and I have seen tons. Sonny definitely checks all the boxes with his videos. So informative, interesting, and entertaining. It's the best recipe for a successful channel. You Know I love you and I'm out! ❤

[@theflash95]

Hi Sonny, your nod to the two cameras during sign off was a nice touch. Love your recipes and how they're not super complicated to put together for a novice like myself. I get pats on the back from friends and family every time I make your garlic, basil chicken. Keep the videos coming!

[@michael-wx2mk]

Stellar job as always Sonny. I’ve never seen you do a boring video.

[@slickyjorj]

I enjoy cooking, so I watch cooking shows, ya know? Fun to learn stuff, but the stories while watching an onion get slowly sliced, or a chef diva screaming about over cooked shrimp gets old. So glad I stumbled on your channel. You cook stuff so well that I wanna eat and learn! And you are most certainly not boring. Please keep abusing your fridge, I wanna see how much damage it gets.

[@Ch3kThat]

Your poor fridge. Which episode gives the origin story for the fridge abuse

[@nirglazer5962]

love the videos, and i personally like the 'american style' popcorn chicken more. i recommend adding some mesquite rub from grill mates (my favorite seasoning honestly, works great on fries too) to the flour batter. just adds some of that barbequey flavor to the chicken itself. also just something I noticed, maybe because you also said it, (congrats on getting a second camera!) but all the cuts were a bit distracting. Not saying the cuts of talking and stuff that usually occurs, i mean the zoom into the face, and then the hands, and then the face, and hands, etc. just a bit distracting. Not saying you gotta lean down so that we see everything like you used to do, but if possible to see more of the food you're doing while you're on 'face/body' cam, so that you don't need to jump to the food all the time, and only when doing close up shots, that would personally be preferred (i just feel like i couldn't focus with all the perspective changes). sorry for a bit of a rant, i hope you take this as constructive critisism and not hating, because i love your channel. keep it up! (and keep giving that fridge a beating)

Fun fact: just today, I am about deep fry mussels. I already have my batter ready. But I'm gonna try these 2 versions with it very soon. My reason is, that I've just learned that Hoisin sauce translates to "seafood saice". Although it contains no seafood. I wanna dip the mussels in Hoisin sauce. And also Hoisin sauce, mixed with mayonaise. My experimental kitchen. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
