Homemade Chicken Big Mac

[@mrbarrylewis]

Fancy trying one? Go buy one ..... or make it here, was really happy with how it turned out! barrylewis.net/recipe/homemade-chicken-big-mac/

[@ge2719]

Anyone who wants an easier way to make them, costco do a good frozen chicken burger patty. In with all the frozen chicken food. I like them with some bacon and cheese :D Whenever i try to make my own chicken burgers they always fall apart 🤣

[@sdewey4152]

That looks so damn tasty, I'll have to do it a slightly lazier way lol. Birds Eye actually do a really good chicken 1/4lb (i usually refuse any of their meats that aren't fish) it's a puffed rice coating for a lovely crunch. And you can get them in 2s and 4s pretty much always on offer. Tesco do a mature cheddar cheese slice and when melted it's not the right colour but the flavour is scarily close.

[@terrybogard977]

Hey Barry why not try "just egg" is a vegan sub for well eggs i think you or your children might like it and also it taste more eggy like with black salt. You can try to make regular scramble eggs or use it as an egg sub for making other recipes such as bread or vegan pizza or vegan pancakes anyways just an thought. Hope you and your family are doing well.

I’ve been loving your 4321 series, especially lately because I’m having health issues and can’t stand at the stove too long. I’d love to see some easy dump and go crockpot recipes from you. I found a crockpot recipe of yours but it was a couple years old. I loved it though. Most other people’s I’ve found were pretty boring or using it to slow cook meat. I’d love to see some stroganoff or casserole type stuff. I like your flavor profiles so I’d love your unique take. For now I’m gonna binge the rest of the 4321 videos!

When I make a Big Mac knockoff sauce I soak dehydrated onions in pickle brine to rehydrate them. Then you get the pickle flavor and onion flavor at the same time. I don’t know if it’s accurate but my family loves it!

You should try making things that you can only get in other countries! Like in Norway we have a burger in Mac Donalds called Chicken Salsa and I have never heard of it being in say the UK or NA!

[@annother3350]

Yes, great idea

[@number1discodave]

The burger, which was released six years ago in Australia, features two fried chicken patties instead of the normal beef in three bun slices as well as the Big Mac sauce. Australians absolutely loved it.

[@PiousMoltar]

Hi Barry, big fan, but I didn't agree with your rant towards people trying to give you accurate information, and passing it off as "negativity". So, on that note, I've heard from a couple of sources I consider trustworthy (Josh from Mythical Kitchen and Greg from Ballistic Burgers / Ballistic BBQ), that's there's NO KETCHUP in Big Mac sauce! 😁

[@FredCowgill]

Barry, I don't understand why you're being so hostile about the comments. I'm pretty sure most of those people were just sharing their experience with you, not being "that guy."

[@Deancousin]

I like the vids but the style of content is really old school KZbin and seems a bit naff now. KZbin content has evolved now from 7 years ago and isnt as try hard. Sorry 👎🏼

[@benrosenberg]

I know you said to not be that guy, but I worked in McDonalds for 10 years and we never cooked in a domestic kitchen

[@CBTvideos]

There was once grilled chicken years ago, it was cooked in the steamer. It was my favorite, used for wraps and salads as a healthier alternative to chicken selects for wraps and chicken legends for salads.

It’s a strange omission as the normal Big Mac does

[@CarlGorn]

At Burger King, you can still get a grilled chicken breast sandwich with just mayo, lettuce, and tomato. At least, that's how it is here in the States. Used to be called the BK Broiler, no idea if they've renamed it to something else. I'd rather just pound a chicken breast into a cutlet and give it a shallow fry in a mix of coconut oil and sesame oil, make my own sandwich at home, using multi-grain bread.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Wahhh. Sesame oil is mostly used for Asian dressings (such as over a chowmein or stir fry, stir through & serve) rather than for frying. I’ve never heard anyone frying with sesame oil.

[@CarlGorn]

@@LauraBidingCitizen What's really going to blow your mind is using it to make a roux. I use a 50/50 mix of toasted sesame oil and browned butter, and it gives such unbelievable depth to a cheese sauce or gravy. Those smoky, nutty notes give it all the flavor of a brick roux, without sacrificing the thickening power. It's a revelation in sauce-making.

[@thcollegestudent]

Salt Bae may not be cool, but you seem pretty cool, so if you want, have your self a little salt flair why don't ya?

Salt bae is a bad person and you should not do anything to mimic him. It has bothered me for a long time that you do it. Please stop.

[@alexm.6148]

Burger sauce, the easiest secret to delicious burgers at home. Amazing what mixing a bit of ketchup, mayo, and mustard can do. Also if they're out of american style cheese at the store why not make your own? I can't remember if you've already done that or not

[@AmySC93x]

I tried a chicken big mac last night. I got one without the sauce and just added my own mayo to it instead😂preferred that than the taste of the big mac sauce that was in my partners big mac i tried a bite of 😂so im glad i chose no sauce and added my own mayo when it arrived 😂

i grew up on thousand island dressing which is literally what big mac sauce is , ketchup, mayo, a bit of mustard , with sweet pickle relish in it. it always amazes me when i hear of a "special" sauce and its literally things i grew up with being called and marketed as something else . lol it irritates me when i see people buying stuff for ten times the price at which it could just be home made . my family does not eat out at fast food because i can make everything at home for cheaper . everything from Chinese foods to pizza and everything in between .

Cold McDonals Burgers - put it in the microwave for 15 seconds upside down in the paper or the box, turn it after that back to upside up und let it rotate for the last 15 seconds and afterwards it will taste like a fresh burger and will be hot again, the brioch slices okay and little spongy and the cheese are melted again. And don't worry - MD Burgers won't get bad, even after days... ...if you don't believe me, try it! ;)

[@brendaguy8747]

Barry, you need a Chick-Fil-A in your area. Ask for the chicken sandwich with grilled chicken, instead of breaded. It is amazingly better then a chicken sandwich from McDonalds or Burger King. I’m in the U.S, so I’m not familiar with other options in your area.

[@mrbarrylewis]

We are limited in my home town, but local cities will have better options i'm sure

[@stevev3664]

I remember McDonald’s in the 70s. I used to live on quarter Pounders and Strawberry Milkshakes. They were good value in those days.

[@bleukreuz]

If you like grilled chicken burger then a lot of cafes sell that... If you're looking for a fast food chain, here in Australia lots of fast food place do grilled chicken burger e.g. Oporto, Nandos, Red Rooster, Ogalo, even Hungry Jacks have it!

[@mordeys]

My (17) son has taste issues...i can't explain. But he can taste very well. And only has a handful of foods he can eat from that and food sensitive and allergies so buy food is tough. But he likes the American deluxe cheese but with the shortages have caused it not be able to find the brands he can eat. Several of the 'it'll do' brands have changed their recipes. I can even taste the difference. And getting pizza cheese, the mix not just mozzarella, is impossible. We noticed that even the kraft parmesan (shaker cheese) which we know is cut with cellulose and starch is tasting and smelling different. Not cv19 related either. And yes everything here in our stores, kansas, are going up when you can find it. We had like 3 weeks of not having any Wal-Mart branded(great value) potato chips(crisps). We prefer them. Not as salty as the name brands and who wouldn't rather have 2 handfuls with a sandwich than one.

[@CarlGorn]

Video idea: Giant baked Alaska, peanut butter ice cream in the middle, Graham cracker (sweet digestive biscuit) streusel on top of that, toasted merengue all around, and finished with a chocolate mirror glaze. It's a s'mores baked Alaska. Pretty sure Phoebe will go mental over it.

The advertising is deceptive, I had a family member work for an advertising company styling food. The sandwich is put together by products made to look like the sandwich ingredents.

[@jonathanfinan722]

I don’t understand why any cogent human would eat anything from McDonald’s. Just opening the door swamps you in the reek of burnt oil. If you choose to eat there then you need to question your life. I’d sooner wipe a slice of bread on an abattoir floor. Which brings me on to the bread issue. That’s not a bun. A bun is a small sweet cake. What you have put on either end of your muck Donald’s is a tea cake or just bread.

[@GirishManjunathMusic]

So you can't sell beef in India (well you can, in some states, but oil used for beef can't be used for fries or chicken etc) and so the big mac equivalent in India is made with chicken patties instead. Ours are breaded and fried cutlets though iirc. Haven't eaten any myself, of course, but I've seen it be served.

the reason places don't do grilled chicken is because the margins are less. In fact the way they make the chicken burgers they add lots of extra ingredients to form the burger, even if the meat is 100% chicken breast the batter holds all the ingredients into the chicken.
