Thanks for the honesty at the end; can’t be bothered deep frying normally let alone camping 🔥 Stainless steel water bottles are great for oil & vinegar etc. I originally got one for fish sauce because fish everywhere is never fun. You can get big ones for the large sized oil bottles. As much as I avoid using plastic normally, zip lock bags are great for camp cooking, save the mess.

Correct me if iam wrong(!), buti was under the impression that a "maryland" cut was the thigh and the leg as one joint............... just sayin' 😉😉😉😉😉

[@peterparsons7141]

Yeh questioning why something so simple is obfuscated. It’s a bird. Quartered, halved, split or boned out,, a chicken. So did he use whole chicken thighs and removed the bone ? Good enough. I thought it was hilarious to question what to do with used cooking oil when camping ! Usually by the end of Camping trip, the nasty old oil is good for starting the last campfire!

[@AHappyWanderer]

I'd never heard of Irish Spice Bag before, thanks for making this.

[@johngrant7979]

Loved your term and comment “ made with a chicken and it’s children “ 😅 That one was right out of a “bag” 😁

[@daveryan786]

just a tip mate, you can buy McDonnells curry sauce which is very similar to the real thing, we have in Ireland. Certain coles have it in the international section.

[@boydauspeditions]

Very interesting comments at the end, the spice 'bags' always look so good when you see them and i always thought they would be so bloody good, cheers.

[@geroutathat]

They are good, just no one makes them from scratch like this. You can buy the spice mixes in Ireland, the batter mix, the chicken precut, and you kinda make your chips yourself from your potatoes or if real lazy frozen ones. Its literally a 5-10 minute job for drunk Irish people to make one. However we wont turn the fryer on when drunk so order one, and nothing matches the one from the chinese. But from a chinese in Ireland you can just order chicken and chips. I usually get Chicken balls and chips, or lemon chicken and chips... Chicken balls and chips are chips with balls of chicken done in batter, and lemon chocken its like a chicken breast in a light batter thinly cut, with a lemon sauce... Spice bag is a bit too much for me.

[@claypettitd5503]

I can definitely wait in line at 3am and order one of these! Hope to 'bag' one of your books Harry!

Just an FYI , wood is the best chopping board as it is a natural antiseptic element and as long as it’s scrubbed and rinsed correctly then a wooden chopping board are the best

You also don't get microplastic in your food!

Is it a specific type of wood or all wood?

Research definitely still out on whether plastic or wood is safer, still leaning towards plastics, but listen we don't need to min max chopping boards, if you just wash everything it's safe anyway.

You have given a spice bag far more respect than the locals Chinese’s places here do, this is display of soul food. I personally like to flash fry then bake my thighs for a crisp and tenderness.

Great video! Never actually had a spice bag but it reminds me of the “3 in 1” back home (Ireland) that I used to get in our local Chinese takeaway. Fried rice, chips & curry sauce all together in a plastic container with a fork. After a few pints you’d devour it!!!Thanks for the videos.

So in August or 1990 a chef in a chinese resaturant in Finglas is finishing up for the night whn he hears a knocking on the door of the take away. Outside are four deperate, drunk and very hungry hombres who are beggin for a birra grub. The chef being a kind hearted man does not want to turn away the customers so he tells them to wait a bit and goes back into his kitchen. He finds all the leftovers from the day, the last bits of unsold fried chicken, a few old chips at the bottom of the frying vat and some old veg, he fries up the lot, puts it into brown bags, slaps on a generous dollop of curry sauce. The lads were delired with their post pint feast. The rest is history.

[@bomboclaat1509]

ngl spice bags with honey sauce is probably the most delectable things ive ever eaten lol. curry sauce is lovely too tho.

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic effort, doubt you would be capable of some of that if you were hungover or inebriated. Nailed the brief though, love that you put the oil in a drink bottle then pull out the 3lt container to fill the skillet. Nice brown paper bag meal. Looking forward to Fred's feast

Back in the day my mom used to save the used cooking oil in a container and put in fridge then later put in pan or deep fry again for cooking the fish my dad and us used to catch out in the boat and it got reuse a many times probably collected more flavours in time but when it started to go black it got tossed out , will live for ages in fridge I recon , I haven't done it because I don't deep fry any thing , I oven bake stuff not the same but healthier I hope , the oil goes hard in a container in fridge just like fat or lard used in them days , that meal looks fantastic thank you the Irish and thank you for cooking it up 💯👌I guess if you're out on the grog and at 2am you find a pie van and they served that up you'll down it just like dowin a pie floater , I bet you don't know what a pie floater is 😅

[@wolfman011000]

Our local chinese only uses medium madras curry powder, they just add some chilli powder if you want hot. I most cases i find overly spicey food rather stupid as all you can really taste is the spices, it masks most other flavours and aromas, which was part of it's original use pre refrigeration when meat went off in hours rather than days. If you like it hot go for it just save money on getting the best quality chicken/beef/pork as the heat means you can not taste much of a differance to make it worth the extra bunt. Try looking up chipshop curry recipes that is most common i have found while pissed up, it cheap and tasty which is why the trailer parked outside of the clubs use it. Thanks for the video, take care, God bless one and all. BTW I buy Dinaclass - Irish Curry Sauce (5kg tub) £26.79 delivered to my door. 500 g (1lb) of mix to 2.5 litres (4 pints) of water. Bring to the boil while stirring and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
