Fried Chicken from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Arcade with Alvin

[@leastlikelysuspect5122]

Marbled Rock Roast would be hilarious if they could make that. I would love to see how creative Alvin can get

[@ninjabgwriter]

I feel like the most possible way to recreate that and still have it be... well, edible, would be to make something salt crusted, but it really would be a work of creativity to figure out how to recreate that. I know I'd be too daunted!

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

With how much the roast emphasizes marbling I'd expect the Babish team to use Wagyu, but (as another reply mentioned) if it were to be salt crusted so as to be more solid, I wonder if that would simply be a waste of Wagyu... I'm sure Alvin (or Kendall, with her knowledge) would be able to figure something out lol.

[@leafgreenbeast]

some sort of well-crusted short rib or something?

[@ellespoonies]

honestly i feel like you could do that with a pork belly roast, the chicharrón would be hard and crispy & give it that “rock” aesthetic along with the fatty marbling of the belly

[@enlongjones2394]

Drugs. The marbled rock roast is drugs

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Oh, Alvin, old southern lady here. After the flour dredge, set the chicken on a rack for at least 30 minutes. It lets the flour hydrate and stick better. Also, frying large meats is best done outside over a non flammable surface for safety. Regular cut up chicken can be done in the kitchen. That brine looks yum!

[@The-Anomalous]

Thank you! I will be screenshotting this for when I move out, I bow to you ma'am

[@kiro9291]

oh to eat a whole fried bird with friends in about 5 minutes and fall asleep right after

[@BoxStudioExecutive]

I prefer to eat it right after taking a sword to the face from a man-lion hybrid thing

[@RevenantNeverDies]

bro i wish i could go to a thanksgiving with all the people in town and eat a shitton of turkey and mashed taters. makes me mouth water

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

What Alvin said at the end of the video has me thinking they've got a Babish Lounge Area for napping after a big meal 😂

Friends, you assume too highly of me darling

[@TheRexisFern]

Loving the application of possible in game ingredients and their real life counterparts.

[@wesleyward5901]

They've always done that with any game/animated show.

[@mishaquimbly2576]

With large frying especially, any excess moisture can cause a dramatic explosion from the oil. Anyone trying at home should definitely be aware that coating the bird liberally in flour and very slowly lowering it into just enough oil to cover it, is the only way of safely frying. Be safe when handling hot oils and have a plan/educate yourself for how to stop an oil based fire because dumping water on it will only cause a dangerous reaction.

[@KelmerG]

Yeah. This is wild. Those gloves looked like they were melting. Done indoors on a gas stove. Vessel was too small for the amount of hot oil and chicken displacing the oil. This is a bad idea and hope people don’t get hurt. At least turn the burner off while adding the chicken. Did they? And lower it in with a hook. Those exist for a reason. Yikes.

[@stagnantlasagna]

200+ hours into this game and I had no idea you could make fried chicken. Truly a modern masterpiece

That would be a fun one once the strike ends, tbh

I really hope Nintendo makes a cookbook for the Botw trilogy, the third one being Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, especially Akkala buns. And if they do they should hire you and Babish to make the recipes themselves

[@spectoestis3106]

bold to assume they're not gonna ride the success of BotW and TotK til it can't be ridden anymore

I am going to keep posting this every episode with Alvin. Could you please make Yeto’s Ordon Pumpkin and Reekfish Soup from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess?

[@enlongjones2394]

Pumpkin, fish, and a nice hard cheese sounds like a very nice soup combo.

[@A_Lion_In_The_Sun]

I saw someone make the tough pumpkin beef stew somewhere else (probably reddit) and it looked delicious, served in a small sugar pumpkin

Since goron spice is noted to be a mixture of various spices, you could've given yourself a little more wiggle room with that I think 😅

that is a perfectly cooked chicken, I can see it from the bite! not too much oozing but not too dry.

[@majintv24]

If anyone tries anything like this turn of the heat if you have a gas powered stove when putting meat in. If theres any oil spillage ut could be a wall of flames but turing off the fire prevents that

[@cerberus144]

What would you recommend as an alternative flavoring for the honey glaze for someone who not only doesn't like spice, but is also allergic to Peppers in the first place :D

[@jasonkeats931]

fun fact, eating bird meat in front of Rito ISN'T dark and morbid, it's Tuesday they're birds of prey, they eat poultry too. It's like eating beef, pork, mutton, or venison in front of a human, just because they all come from mammals and we're mammals, doesn't make it horrific.

[@PeriwinkleFairywinkle]

Exactly, funny no one said the same thing about eating fish in front of the Zora, tho I guess with ocean life eating each other is usually the gig

[@jasonkeats931]

@@PeriwinkleFairywinkle that's a fair point, why do people talk about how the Rito eating poultry would be barbaric, but don't say anything about how the Zora are fishers? maybe the Rito have only recently gotten their more avian appearance (in Wind Waker they apparently looked like human's with beaks) where as the Zora have always looked like this. I agree that the ocean is pretty much entirely "fish eat fish" (save for bugs, seals, penguins, and those other fringe cases). where as with birds most people would think worms, small berries, seeds. and in the case of birds of prey, I imagine most people would think small rodents or rabbits, maybe a lizard, but the idea of a bird eating another bird doesn't happen to often, and even more rarely in front of people.

I think a lot of people would be psyched to see you nake the three different meals from Chrono Trigger (plus it would get TONS of views and likes!) that is served in guardia castle (in 600 AD and i think in 1000 AD as well?) Would be pretty neat. It's not super clear what the exact foods are, so the creativity and interpretation would be another fun thing to work with :) In case no one on the BWB team knows what I'm talking about, they're three meals served in the castle kitchen that replenish the team's health at three different levels. I wish i could remember the names of the meals.

[@ModdingNewbie]

A salad, a bowl of soup, and a rib roast of some kind in Chrono's colors, IIRC. The chef in 600 says he's invented them to celebrate your victory over the Mystics, and you get to order them from the Castle dining room 400 years later. ( _Chrono Trigger_ is one of my favorite games and I used to play it quite frequently before my copy was stolen after I moved to dorms in college and left my door unlocked one day...) Hyper Salad was one of the names, if I'm remembering it right.
