Fried Chicken Has Never Been So Good! | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@GB01]

I tried it last night. Luckily, I had all the ingredients on hand including buttermilk. I used only chicken legs (drumsticks) and let them marinate for nearly 5 hours. Then took them out of the refrigerator for an hour before making the batter and cooking. All I can say is WOW! This is the BEST tasting fried chicken I have ever had. I should have used a little more buttermilk in the batter because there was a bit too much breading for my liking, but it was definitely crispy and crunchy as Chef Jean-Pierre says. I would never have thought to use curry powder, but it really does enhance the flavor and the chicken does not taste like curry. I did have a few pieces left over and froze them. Today I took out one piece, didn't even defrost it, put it in the oven for about 25 minutes, and it came out perfectly, almost just as good as when I first made it. So, yes - you can make this in advance and freeze it for future meals. Very sorry KFC, but Chef Jean-Pierre's recipe just cost you one customer. Another masterpiece from Chef Jean-Pierre.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Great comment thank you for sharing your experience! I am so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏❤️

[@Palmit_]

definitely a recipe i want to try. but @GB01 , in the hope that you are subject to UK supermarkets, where did you source your buttermilk please?

I think Jack is the luckiest man in the world: watching and filming chef JP and... getting all this great food!

[@panagea2007]

But...he'll never get it again...unless they do re-runs.

[@colekter5940]

​@@panagea2007 when you learn from JP, you eat his food everyday. and its truly magical. you dont need JP to cook anything. if Jack can't cook after filming this show, JP will certainly give him a proper flogging.

[@susanbarone8392]

Your enthusiasm, Chef, is contagious. I hear the “crunch” and can almost taste the chicken! Thank you for your videos.

[@frankphillips7436]

When making fried chicken, it is always necessary to have plenty of butter. You won’t use it but you better have it! Love this chef and all the joy and knowledge he imparts! Keep making videos and I’ll keep watching!

[@davidgalloway1955]

Hello Jean-Pierre, I wanted to let you I have been cooking for many years. And when I discovered you on KZbin. I love your methods better than anyone else I have ever watched. I have a French Couple lives next me to me here in CA and I induced them to your channel. And they can't wait to try some of your recipes. I have shared you with many of my friends. You make people want to cook. You make cooking fun and easy. Like I say I love watching you Jean-Pierre you are a great teacher and Chef. Your biggest fan. Retired Chef David ❤

[@bryanmoraski7005]

I need to stop watching you in the morning. Now I want fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Thank you Chef.

[@anastasia444]

Baaahahaha 🤣 You and all the rest of us! 😋

[@soavemusica]

The problem is, if you leave the skin on, the crunchiness suffers, and the skin itself remains slimy under the coating. You will find this everywhere, but is elementary. Try removing the skin.

[@JerryB507]

Don't forget the cream gravy.

[@randallmarsh1187]

@@soavemusica Deep frying chicken without the skin ought to be illegal! The skin is what makes it so delicious!

[@jimringo2569]

Yeah mashed potatoes, gravy with the remaining oil (some) and flour (some). Great minds think alike!

[@donnawhite-p6w]

I made it last night I let it marinade for 4 hours and it was the most crispy and moist chicken I ever had. Cooked for 15 minutes at 320 f .The best recipe. Thank you so much. So glad I came across your recipes. ❤

The thing I always love about JP is that when he cooks, he has the intention to make his food the BEST. Like an Olympic athlete; he doesn't just want to place. He wants the gold medal.

[@ahumanbeing812]

15:57 "My mouth is ready." Chef, my mouth is ready too. 🤤 These fried chicken drumsticks make a perfect holiday dish. Warmest holiday greetings from California, U.S.A!

[@sheriharader2566]

I learned to fry chicken in my mother's deep cast-iron skillet.....the best!!! To this day, I wish I had that skillet. There is nothing better than perfect fried chicken! ❤

[@thomasborgsmidt9801]

Try a thrift store, they might have it. I did not get my mothers meat mincer, but later by accident found it in a thrift store - I believe a chinese handkranked product. That is the main reason I shop at thrift stores: They at times have what is otherwise not available - and if you make a bad purchase? The price is so low, that you can throw it away.

[@jjroy3389]

My Mom made the best fried chicken. Tasty, crunchy, the whole bit. I followed her around the kitchen to see what prep she did. She only used salt, pepper, paprika, and flour in a paper bag. She tossed the pieces of chicken in the bag gave it a few shakes and that was it. She had a special pan she filled with Crisco oil. She fried the chicken and kept the done pieces in the oven. I went home copied it..nada. Dull, but edible with some chutney or BBQ sauce. My sister attempted it and got the result. Dull. After many attempts we came to the conclusion it had to be that pan!!

[@tspidey007]

Lodge cast iron sells a chicken fryer. I bought one years ago. It’s not very expensive and absolutely love it.

One can’t get anything better than fried chicken and homemade potato salad. Brings back memories of my grandmother.

[@constancedubois3326]

When I saw the headline, I said not even my favorite chef Jean Pierre can make better fried chicken than me. So I had to look at the video. I do just about the same thing you do. I marinade my chicken for 24 hours. I might try the curry one day. I love you so much. 🥰

[@LindseyLouWho]

If someone out there is THAT confident that Chef can not beat their own recipe, then I need to try Chef's recipe..... but you don't do much differently? Anything you prefer different taste wise aside from the curry?

[@Whelp140]

Yep the only thing I do differently from his is I put a little bit of pickle juice in the brine as well everything else is spot on I might add more seasonings depending on who's eating at the house though, I would recommend using white pepper in your flower as well as black pepper black for the color white for the taste

[@Whelp140]

​@@LindseyLouWhoif you're not a big fan of the curry try adding a little bit of cloves

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

@@Whelp140 Hello. You might know; re:buttermilk - adding lemon juice to "whole milk" or would 2% milk work Ok?

[@Whelp140]

@R.Akerman-oz1tf yeah all the lemon juice does is help curdle the milk a little bit the only difference will be it'll be more watery because of the water content in the milk

[@iconoclast137]

I love how he constantly reduces my stress when I don't have a specific ingredient, if you don't want it or have it don't worry about it. But also he tells you every possible thing you could do to make it. The ambiguity with certain details makes him a great teacher

[@nancywalker1325]

I started marinating Friday, I finally got around to cooking it today. I can honestly say it's the most tender chicken I've ever had. It was the most flavorful chicken I've had, too. I'm really impressed, Chef Jean

[@alpcns]

The buttermilk marinade is one the secrets that makes it absolutely delicious. Fantastic recipe! Thank you Chef!

[@robbienorton9522]

Nothing better than perfectly cooked fried chicken fresh out of the fryer. Looks similar to what I've seen how Bo'Jangles does theirs but with a little twist. Nice job as always Chef!

[@dharmon8798]

I heard that crunch. Yum 😋

[@TarotsApprentice]

Thanks for this! I cannot make fried chicken no matter how hard I try. I'll will be following this video step by step.

[@Weaver1812]

Gentle suggestion: If you want the additional crumbles for even the first batch of pieces, drizzle some marinade into the coating mixture and mix it up prior to the first coating application to the chicken. It mirrors the affect found later after a batch or two get coated. I hope this helps.

[@megalonrulez]

soak the chicken in straight buttermilk overnight... pad the chicken dry-ish... then dredge/cover is either Bisquick or rice flour mixed with old bay spice and garlic salt... fry up in a large, deep cast iron skillet filled with Crisco oil. After frying, lightly season with pepper afterwards.

[@rosendosanchez2386]

[@oldgeezer3324]

I tried this chicken yesterday, it was delicious. I learned something more than the recipe. All I had was large drumsticks, as you said, " turn the fire down and cook it longer" I cooked the big fat drumsticks at 290 degrees for 35 minutes, they come out perfect.

Very similar method to how I do my fried chicken. The trick to getting the chicken nice and crispy is the corn starch. The dry, wet, dry method is paramount to getting a nice layer of "breading" on the outside of the chicken. Thanks Chef.
