DIY TGI Friday's Green Bean Fries

It took 3 attempts to nail this but boy was it worth it! When I go to TGI's (which isn't that often to be fair!) I tend to order 3 things most often, a cajun pasta (which i'm highly likely to do!), Sesame Jack Daniels chicken strips (which we made recently!) and green bean fries, which as the title suggests is this very video! So with the help of my budget fryer I set out to make my own including the ranch dip, i'm not actually sure if TGI's still do these in some places, but the final taste was incredible, a super close clone to TGI's. Soft in the middle, crispy batter that lightly coats the green bean dunked in that slightly tangy ranch dip, extremely addictive things! Hope you give this a go, it'll probably work in an air fryer too!

I really hope Barry will do some more collaborations with Stuart Ashen soon. also still waiting for the Beard Meats Food collab

[@greengiant9706]

Can’t lie, I’ve been looking forward to a Barshens colab again too!

[@kutie_koala]

Who's the guy he used to do the giant food with? And why did they stop collabing?

[@peterb6836]

Same here

[@thokk10289]

Beard meats food Collab would be awesome!!!

[@TheRivieraKid]

@@kutie_koala He got a job

[@kellyg6206]

How happy he makes himself when he tastes something is why I keep coming back to his videos.

[@ggjiggle6926]

Honestly the only name that fryer could have is Stephen Fry-er. The man is just a marvel

[@rainysunflower384]

The ones with the breadcrumbs look delicious! Here in the US you can buy these frozen and air fry them, they are super tasty. But making them from scratch yourself looks even better!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Oh wow, are they already coated when you buy them?! Win win!

[@YaaLFH]

@@mrbarrylewis Have you seen the TGIF range in Iceland? Unfortunately no green beans but they do the sesame chicken, and have some exclusives you won't find in a restaurant - the burnt ends are surprisingly nice.

[@imablank9701]

I just harvested a ton of beans. I can only pickle so many. So imm be making those tonight!!

[@kriser371]

I’m loving all these videos…..been binge watching MVK for days!

[@uhsaywhatnow]

That first batch looks like what they’d actually serve me at Fridays. 😆

[@Faithnomore227]

I love green beans and know I'd love them fried like this. They look bloody gorgeous 😍

[@milliereeves2215]

Only just started and not sure whether Barry's reaction was because they tasted good or he burnt himself. Will report back.

[@Catglittercrafts]

I think he liked them lol

[@vannasilver]

With Barry it could be either 😂

[@MythicLlamas]

This looks amazing, I must try!!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Give them a go, they did not last long, crazy addictive

[@turntburkey]

Jalapeno poppers with cheddar are my faveeee. Ate an actual TGI Fridays meal and got wicked sick. TGIF frozen stuff is always good!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

The additional bread crumbs did make the difference. It looks so good. Cheers, Barry! 👍👍✌️

[@mrbarrylewis]

So glad I had some in the cupboard! Didn't have any bread in the house either! Really was a difference so added it to the recipe write up!

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

TGIF and Applebees no longer is here in Pensacola and they made a decent French onion soup and I do like fried green beans and pull apart blooming onions 👍🏼❤️

[@mrbarrylewis]

Blooming onions, legendary!

[@Rose-ou2xj]

Barry, can I please come over for tea. These look INCREDIBLE. And for vegetarian chicken stock I massively recommend Osem if you can find it. It’s god tier. Side note: I’m ordering a pizza for tea tonight and this has made me so hungry 😍

[@mrbarrylewis]

Awesome and thanks! Enjoy your pizza

[@sandralarson1587]

I recently got an instant pot and it’s fabulous! Would love to see you test one out.

[@ms.c.parker8137]

I never thought to crumb beans, they look amazing and can't wait to try this. Thanks Barry, Please consider naming your fryer, fryer tuck. lol.

[@kennethyoung141]

Your videos always make my day better. Especially if Boston is In it and Mrs.B and your daughters.

[@barbaravoneitzen7729]

That looks so cute

[@alishahird897]

I love deep fried green beans. Several different restaurants in my area used to serve them. Most had them included in a combo platter. Corn nuggets, popcorn chicken, onion rings, cheese balls, greenbeans, mushrooms, zucchini chips, or deep fried Ravioli. It differed in a few places, through ingredients or fry style.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Need to dry deep fried ravioli!

[@silviacardoso4021]

In Portugal, this is known as "peixinhos da horta"... Little fish of the garden 😂

[@christinahalsey4288]

Add a little Parmesan to the flower and bread crumbs. Delicious. And... You can do the same with zucchini sticks. You'll love it.

[@MorriganQrow]

Fryer tuck is the name of my local fish and chips shop, got the nickname Greasy Steve’s but regardless, best Fish and chips in the south west by my heart 😂😍

[@QuietPenguinGaming]

That pasta sounds awesome! (Ive never been to TGIF)

[@nickcossey121]

Hey Barry a little tip to remember for when you’re frying something and want your breading to have a bit more texture or crunchy bits. Add a splash of water or your dredge to your flour it’ll clump together and add some crispy bits to whatever you fry

[@jaxp5661]

Marty McFry should be the name of your mini fryer. Amazing video!

[@Carrieplaysgames]

You talking about the bargain fryer reminded me of the bargain I got recently that might interest you. I was looking for easier ways to cook rice and found in asda a rice cooker for £12. Definitely a bargain. I plan to look into what else I can cook in it. On a seperate note, these green beans sound awesome. I might need to try them

[@amycraven6678]

Marty-Mc Fry!! Would be a great fryer name

[@OlEgSaS32]

An Excellent Callout

[@laurag2325]

TGIF used to have a pecan crusted chicken salad and it was AMAZING. I always struggled picking btwn that and the jack daniels chicken…Would LOVE a copy cat of that salad, the pecan crusted chicken was so dang good!

[@MariaC.09]

We do this in Portugal it's called peixinhos da horta its original from here

[@mrbarrylewis]

That sounds way cooler, love Portugese names for things

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Beanus might not be on-board with this, but Greenus certainly is. Speaking of growing green beans yourself, that's what we do. We grew a LOT on our little plot, and it's taking quite some time to eat our way through them. Also, watching the juice shoot out of that one bean (7:33) was an experience.

[@beezalbub7325]

Adding the breadcrumbs worked brilliantly, if you happen to not have them on hand you might try the dry wet dry method. Light coat of flour then the egg wash then your seasoned flour. That will help hold the coating on a little better.

[@danielrowlands4412]

I heard that cheeky "Cheap-o" at the fryer

[@aloluk]

That Dip looks well nice!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Was super fresh, i've suggested in the recipe write up though to add fresh herbs all the way, don't mind dry herbs but I reckon that'd give it even more punch

[@lisaoneill6280]

I love Barry’s videos but each time I’m watching I can’t help but wonder what that is on top of the kitchen cupboards? 😂😂 x

[@Jack-si2ig]

It's a plush of a Seal he named Seal, I think he got it after always singing Kiss From a Rose after sealing things, usually with cling film

[@lisaoneill6280]

Thanks for that love x

[@mrbarrylewis]

Give them a go lol

[@pittypolyphonic]

may be hard for you to get over there but ive been putting A1 thick and hearty sauce on most things and it ALWAYS improves it

[@safiremorningstar]

Really like the idea really like the idea of the double with bread crumbs I am going to try it but it'll be vegan style if I can again I'm a incomplete quadriplegic who sometimes has the use of their hands and sometimes does not which is why I use voice to text. But just so you should know I enjoy watching your videos because of your enthusiasm.

[@MartinAhlman]

I like making healthy food a bit more unhealthy too. Tastes soooooo good!

[@marlenerajao6217]

Here in Portugal, we call those "Fish from the garden"

[@aprilbarber5427]

I’m in Virginia and as I watched this, the rain was hammering down! How’d you do that lol, it’s magic!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Tech these days eh!

[@SPG685]

I did not expect an Ashens reference, let alone two.

[@MariRoc86]

Is my Friday’s the only one who serves the green bean fries with Wasabi Ranch? I would think the heat level would be different? Now I’m curious about the sauce with horseradish 😊

[@reneeallen3569]

My favorite sauce containing horseradish is: 2 tbsp ketchup 1 tbsp yellow mustard 3 tbsp Mayo 1 tbsp horseradish Mix all together and adjust for taste. It should be creamy with a small bite of heat. The color should be peachy. Good for fish, shrimp, fries, blooming onion, anything deep fried really.

[@viviennebowman1850]

Fred the fryer🤣🤣

[@roberthindle5146]

Never heard of these. Should I pop over to Cribbs and try them first or just go straight to Barry's recipe?

[@ashysapphire5557]

If you are going to do some more TGIFriday recipes I'd like to see the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake. I hate cheesecake but I LOVE that cheesecake. All of the restaurants closed near me and I can not get it anymore.

[@ihatebasketball9]

Creeping up on 1 million subs!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks Brandon

[@zaynamoore]

OMG! Thank you for making this video. I'm from Ontario, Canada and we don't have a TGIFs locally but there was one right beside our hotel when we visited Niagara Falls. I absolutely LOVED this dish.

[@miasgirls3778]

❤️❤️❤️

[@safiremorningstar]

If you have a coffee grinder once you've wiped it down cleaned it up from when you had coffee in there you can use it to grind spices and it will grind it very fine for you if that's what you're looking for I've done this before you can also use it police some of these Grinders you can use for grinding your own flour if you're in the mood to do so.

[@2Wheels_NYC]

Cool copycat! First time here, but new subscriber!

[@trudiethomas656]

I like those green beans. I just buy a box of tempura, works well. I was also hoping he would air fry them

[@Mrx2848]

It's a bit of food science fact that some green vegetables with become greener after being boiled - I think it's because the oxygen in the cells of the vegetables gets released when boiled or something like that.

[@mathboy1066]

These look stonking. TGI's is Awesome . What about Hard Rock Café recipes? First lol

[@mrbarrylewis]

Well, that's a good call! I've only ever been to the one in the American side of Niagara falls - but like 4 times as there wasn't really much else to do that side! The Canadian side looked like a right party! That's a top suggestion!

[@brianartillery]

They look like vegetarian Whitebait, Barry. And that's a good thing. Fried green beans in a batter. What's not to like? (Ranch dressing, in my case, but I'd dunk 'em in Stokes brown sauce). Nice one.

[@ladyt-cj4gg]

❤

[@l.n.4929]

Soooo... how about Marty McFry for the fryer?

[@tristasloane5377]

I’m not a patreon currently, but may have to just for a chance to get that beautiful cow cutout! I’m obsessed with cows! Imma call her Bessy 😂 it may be because I’m from Nebraska.

[@forteandblues]

Please make a blooming onion from outback!!!

[@ItsBooToYou]

Frydrick for the name of the fryer.... like Fredrick... but... you get the point.

[@lizzyg3487]

As seome who has spent a lot of their life snapping beans, it was hard watching Barry cut them off, instead of just snapping the ends off.

[@GroovlyDo]

I know this with zucchini batons, flour egg, flour egg, fried, served with parmesan and aioli 😀

[@chrisslater1985]

Really need to use cornflower

[@EightbitAdam]

You should call the fryer “Barry Fry” in a nod to former Peterborough United manager. Plus, you’re Barry and have a fryer… simples.

[@Equinox4523]

I don't think they offer these in the UK anymore?

[@mrbarrylewis]

I don't think so either, next time I go i'll check but online doesn't look the case! It's been a while since i've been to be fair at least 3 Years

[@Equinox4523]

Last time I saw them must have been at least 5+ years!

[@squeak5213]

8:49 is that an Ashens sound effect?

[@mrbarrylewis]

;)

[@jamietaylor3775]

Air fryer? Will it fry ?/hacks ?/playlist ?

[@processandbeing]

Marty McFry would be a good name

[@preferredimage]

Take the green beans out of the equation and I think you are onto something really tasty!

[@kflowersmith]

Have you tried Alice Cooper's line of hot sauces? There are three different sauces ... Welcome to My Nightmare (mild), No More Mr. Nice Guy (medium), and Poison (hot). They have really nice flavour, not being hot just for hot's sake. Give them a try!

[@laurenklaus4591]

Daughter suggested the babe uncle Bob for your fryer.

[@aquarhythm2999]

Philip the Fryer!

[@fernhadley845]

We used to call our fryer, Spencer. Many moons ago, there used to be a programme called Spencer for Hire - say it and you’ll see why.

[@villageelder1]

I love deep fried green beans. Yummy. How about Frier Tuck, like from Robin Hood.

[@Mikedimmy]

Idea for the fryer name, how about Stephen Fry? 🍳

[@dedodododedadada6943]

Most of what you do is imho a cwot . This certainly lives up to that! Why not have a whole deep fried series? You could have liquorice all sorts, jelly babies, custard creams, chocolate digestives, pickled cucumbers, pickled eggs,pasta shapes, cashew nuts, cum-quats, baby corn, melon, satsuma, figs…. sky’s the limit!

[@swearenginlawanda]

Id like to see some ninja food tries.

[@carveylover]

Frida the Fryer that is the first name that came to me.

Could this recipe work in an air fryer? 🤔

Call it Barry fryer xx

Are you ever going to collab with Ashens again?

Looks Gurt Lush that.

[@Yorokobi224]

Wait... Do they cookk them in chicken stock too? Ugh... Did I just lose another vegetarian option?

[@branditaberski7564]

My grandma passed away in 2018 then my dad same year, but her name was Frieda, her mom didn’t spell Freda right, so dual meaning: Fried-a, great name and spelling for your fryer ☺️

your eyes are gorgeous. also, nice recipe

Is "break that duck" similar to "eat the frog"?

[@cathyreed6180]

I spent many a day as a kid snapping beans like that by hand no knives nothing just with my fingers and it’s way quicker to do it with your hands and it is with a knife or any other means

There’s already a KZbinr that named thier fryer fryer tuck
