I have no idea whether or not you will read this, but I feel the need to express my appreciation for your videos. I don't find them particularly useful for learning to cook, as you and I are basically at the same level. However, my son, a toddler of 22 months, comes up to me every day and asks me to put on "Barry". When he was just learning to walk, he would run up and touch the TV any time Chloe (or young Phoebe in order videos--we have watched them all) would come in the screen. You are a staple of his life and helped to cultivate his love of standing in the kitchen and watching me cook. Your videos have helped to cultivate and strengthen this bond between father and son. While I enjoyed your videos before, I now love them and will look back on each video with fond memories, all thanks to the association they have with this father-son experience. I thank you endlessly. (If I were employed, I would be sending my thanks through Patreon, but this will have to do until my financial recovery.) Cooking is nice, and so are you and your family. If ever you are in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, I would be happy to show you the absolute best way to cook hamburgers and whole chicken (my specialties). I don't think that will ever happen, but I said it intending it to be a statement showing my gratitude.

As a breadcrumb replacement that's extra crunchy, try whizzing up cornflakes in a blender. This is also a good option if you wanted to make a gluten free version.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yeah i've done some cornflake chicken nuggets before, certainly gives it that crunch!

[@MrsLAnderson24]

my mom has been doing a keto diet and made some air fryer chicken using ground pork rinds as her breading. they were the crunchiest chicken tenders i have ever had.

[@AntonGully]

@@MrsLAnderson24 We have Pork Scratchings in the UK that are basically fried pork rinds sold as a snack and I am 100% going to blend some up.

[@MrsLAnderson24]

@@AntonGully When we made them we used a grate/wire rack at the bottom of our air fryer to keep the chicken from getting soggy. You might be able to find recipes online if you're looking for instructions.

[@WaxedMerkin]

Here in Australia you can buy cornflake crumbs in a box. Its $1.06 for 100g. A quality breadcrumb is $0.88 for 100g, cheapest option is $0.34 per 100g. Panko breadcrumbs start from $1.00 per 100g

[@bdiddy1138]

Ground chicken is the way to go for something like this, i guarantee that's what BK uses. You can also add a ton more flavor to it by seasoning the chicken 👍 press out into an even layer on a sheet tray with some parchment and partially freeze. Then you can cut into your desired fry shapes easily. I like to batch make them, and freeze them. The air fryer heats them up perfectly from frozen for a quick snack. Thanks for the vids as always B ✌️

[@hodakaroadtoad]

Barry questions why he makes a mess with cornstarch, and then you see how he opens the package. 😂

[@YaaLFH]

Hack for using chicken mince: get a silicone "ice stick" (AKA "ice cubes for water bottles") tray, fill them with the meat and freeze. Once they're solid you can pop them out of the tray and store in a freezer and they should hold the shape without becoming one big lump of meat. This will give you most uniformly shaped "fries".

[@AlanDaddi-ok3cc]

I don't know about in the UK but here in the US the breadcrumbs they use are what's known as Italian seasoned breadcrumb

[@martapinkston6913]

In US, the chicken fries are made of "chopped/formed" chicken. Whiz up chicken into a fine mince, season lightly with s&p. Press into a single layer about .5 inch or 1 cm thick. Freeze for 15 minutes then cut into 1cm sticks about 4 inches long. Return to freezer while getting the FEB ready and yours was spot on. Dredge, then deep fry for best taste. Oven bake or air fry will work, but spray with oil so they don't dry out. Love your work!

[@Spankinmike]

You could have kept the trimmings to grind up. More like a chicken forcemeat. The chicken fries are similar to nuggets where they inject a puree into a mold to get the shape before they batter and fry them.

[@dtulip1]

As someone who's first job was in KFC, the old oil frier being unhealthy isn't quite true, if the oil is hot it seals the outside like searing..its only if you haven't crumbed properly or the oils too cool that you get problems

[@naujsgirl]

For an extra crunch, I do Panko bread crumbs, but I toast them in the oven first, til they are golden..then let them cool and coat the tenders. Spray the tenders before the oven. Put ontop of a cooling rack in a pan so they are not soggy on bottom. 390*F for 14 minutes.

[@BeckyAnn6879]

LOVE that you're doing more air fryer recipes! I'm excited to try this one, as all I've been using mine for is 'cooking' frozen foods!

[@SlytherinReviews]

Your thinking of the Zen Gardens that you can get for your desk, also cold chicken is still good for a snack too as you still have the flavor there

[@sthelens1011]

those are the largest chicken fries ive seen close to a chicken goujon :p burger kings are basically close to the size of a mcdonalds french fry haha

[@AntonGully]

What I'm getting from this is that fried > air-fried > oven, but just eating a bowl of sauce like it was soup would be the ultimate.

[@X22GJP]

“Freshness Flavourness” had me in stitches on the floor! Probably helped by the various rums my mate and I had been trying 😂

[@Zelmel]

For corn starch, I don't know if it's available this way in the UK, but if you can get it in a plastic tub/jar it is SO much easier to deal with. I buy mine in a cylinder that holds a couple cups and can fit a measuring cup if it's not for more than about 2/3 of a cup.

[@dianne4120]

Yum.. I love making these. They are gone within seconds. I fry mine as everyone says the oven ones are dryer Thanks for sharing with us Barry

[@showd300]

Its really good idea to make compare all there frying methods and see the difference between the three chicken fries very interesting

[@samthescotsman]

dont know about anyone else but i always appreciate a background pug

[@kevinh96]

How I do them. Minced chicken seasoned with salt, pepper and chip spice mix. Shape into fries/chip shapes and chill for an hour before covering in panko breadcrumbs with spices then bung in the air fryer. Lovely jubbly.

[@catherinemorris1318]

Would be awesome to see a three course ingredient challenge- like a jar of cream to make cream for desert, butter for starter and the left over buttermilk for chicken in main!

Could add a bit of browning to the oven ones by using some spray oil.

One of my neighbors has chickens, and they get out all the time. He also has the Devil chicken (Ayam Cemani), the one that is black to the bone. All the others just wander like derps, but the devil chicken will get in front of me and try to block me. Just menacingly. He's such a cheeky dork.

[@respectrealperson290]

Hi Barry and Chloe! Yes, amazing chicken fries! Hope your Chloe is feeling better soon! Thank you for this great video Barry!

[@Zelmel]

From the thumbnail I thought at first you were doing mozzarella sticks, which would have been awesome as well.

[@whiterabit]

The oven in the apartment I rent doesn’t work so I got an air fryer with shelves and its amazing

[@Mir_Teiwaz]

I can tell you from my time working at BK that their chicken fry sauce is just their BBQ and Honey Mustard mixed together. It's really good stuff though.

[@brianartillery]

The fried one tastes better, simply because the oil liberates more of the onion and garlic flavours, as they are soluble in oil. The hot oil distributes the flavours evenly on, around, and through the chicken during the cook, and fixes them in place.

[@cawood71]

IDK about the UK but in the US those chicken fries are made from chicken paste just like nuggets & they are also much thinner (not much bigger than US burger king french fries) than the chicken strips you made

[@popefacto5945]

Fryer Tuck? Oh, Barry... Dad Joke of Dad Jokes...

[@darlouthia5153]

My daughter-in-law makes a copycat of PF Changs Orange Chicken with tenders like those you have there. Could be a good hack ! We love it 😊

[@hazelwoodcock3822]

Hi Barry, I know this isn't related to this video, but couldnt find the responding one, so my apologies. I loved the Joseph & Joseph collapsable pan stands. I live in Mauritius and they have now opened a shop selling the Joseph Joseph products, they sell the pan stands at Rs 899 = £15.91. Bit out of my price range, lol

[@cheekymonkey666]

question for you: whats the oldest item you have still frozen in the freezer? ive got some cooked rhubarb i processed back in 2011... might make a crumble... same goes for tins or jar foods... i got mint sauce unopened from 2018, a jar of pickeled beetroom from 19?? the prints rubbed off... packets of rice 2015 had a clear out and found more than id expected lol

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Great job Barry. Always love your videos.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks

[@melinaz3385]

Barry, we could use some Italian seasoned bread crumbs, add a touch more garlic powder, and a bit of sage or poultry seasoning, test taste for salt, then do the double dredge dance, and chill or freeze before frying, baking, etc. ... Wha'cha think ov that? Oh by the way, I've made my first batch of spicy but mild, mango chutney. Delish! so happy. canned 6 cups, kept a cup for table tonight!

[@jenntravelz5249]

If you want an idea, you could have a go at the Wimpy Spicy Beanburger, its been on their menu since the 80s and I love them but don't have a Wimpy anywhere near me these days.

[@damiaanwolters4739]

The way to go is to really brine the chicken in a salt water solution for about an hour or 2. It'll flavour the chicken and make it more juicy

[@richardbriansmith8562]

[@mrbarrylewis]

[@lala76]

Is minced/ground chicken not a thing in the UK? That would help getting the shape you want.

[@mrbarrylewis]

It's not that easy to get hold of, but I wrote in the recipe notes that would be a great option to do and shape it / use a silicone mould!

[@Cosmortality]

It is a thing in the UK.

[@orientalmoons]

I watched this and thought that BK has to be doing these with minced chicken, there's no way they could get the 'fries' all the same shape with whole cuts of meat for the price they charge for them.

[@chris_is_here_oh_no]

Amazing video, the recipe looks fantastic!

[@CarlGorn]

Having worked at BK once upon a time, I have to say the chicken fries are a case of style over substance. They don't taste at all of chicken, but just of the breading. Here's hoping yours are more substantial.

[@Desu-Desu-Chan-San]

So chicken tenders, not chicken fries lol

[@mrbarrylewis]

If you can't be arsed to slice them, I don't have a problem with wasting it!

[@forteandblues]

@@mrbarrylewis I’m pretty sure that they make them using the minced chicken, the third method you described. But honestly these look way better anyway.

[@Thanatos--]

I've tried baking chicken tenders in the whole (like how Barry showed initially) and cooked them in the oven (very similar to Barry) and I think it is just a waste because they are aping what you know you want but falls so far short.

Is there a difference between an 'Air Fryer' and a 'Convection Oven'? I got a new 'air fryer' toaster oven, but it seems to do the same thing as my 'convection toaster oven'?

The best way i find is literally just cut chicken thights down the middle. They are symmetrical and thighs cant even be overcooked and dont dry out.

The chicken fries we have here in the States are nothing like what you apparently have there. Ours are very skinny, have more breading than meat, and in tasting them, you wonder if that's actually chicken. What you made here is what we refer to as chicken tenders.
