I had the pleasure of meeting your father in law today. My wife & I are so proud of the success you had and the valuable recipes father lau is making. Wishing your families success & happiness.

TY for the subtitles !

[@MsBlackSequins]

Daddy Lau should be proud that he's imparting this knowledge, without bias, answering the seemingly simplest of questions. I have learnt so much from him!

[@peterdieleman303]

“This completes the first step of deep frying” 😂

[@enriquedossantos3283]

very patient, very kind, infinitely knowledgeable, rare combination, most people that achieve this level of skill from experience don't have a sliver a patience with newbies, both my dad and granddad where like that I have to shut up.and watch. still learned a lot from them

[@cutekaola8669]

很愛看你們的影片，第一因為廣東話很有親切感；第二看到你們父子的感情非常好，兒子肯為爸爸的專長做網站和翻譯，爸爸亦常常鼓勵兒子；第三，你爸爸教的多款菜色，非常詳盡專業，包括很多竅門（例如脆皮燒肉的豬皮要先用鹽來抽水；豉油王炒麵的麵要預先蒸好），在其他網站很難找到，也感受到廣東菜色變化多而細緻。希望你們能繼續努力！💪💪💪

好多謝您嘅支持與讚賞！老劉衷心祝福您闔家平安健康！幸福快樂！

Your dad is really awesome please thank him for us. You have a nice family and I enjoy your videos thanks so much

[@mikenihan9260]

I love watching him cook and learning along the way. The way he explains the intricacies of the recipe are wonderful! Trying this recipe next. Hope I can do it justice!

[@chanalexa6923]

INSANE!!! My dad used to be a chef , he would make us the most complicated dishes when he had a day off. The kitchen would turn into a battlefield after cooking because he cooked in home kitchen like he cooked in the restaurant one. Papa Lau is so neat and tidy in the kitchen

[@czeshirecat6278]

Hehe this made me smile. I’m a tidy cook and usually wash up as I go, but my housemates don’t. It’s put me off making meals tbh ;) bless ready meals and my microwave!

[@raisedfromperdition2x919]

@@czeshirecat6278me too! I can’t stand having a mess while I’m cooking, I want access to a clean sink during the whole process and my family just loves to pile dirty dishes or other food in there and leave it. So I’m constantly washing dishes and recleaning the sink! Drives me crazy. And I had a friend come over to cook once. She dropped an egg on the floor and didn’t clean it up, she just walked through it! Never have I ever even seen that. I was freaking out the whole time. She refused to allow me to clean it up in my own house, yet wouldn’t clean it up. After that I never ate anything she made again. Ugh

[@aileenbodopol7397]

Daddy Lau is absolutely a master chef. RESPECT!!! 👍

[@ronnydtkoo5895]

[@WokandKin]

Loooveee this with the salt dip! I’ve never tried making a whole chicken with crispy skin, so thank you Daddy Lau for showing these techniques! Gotta try it!

[@BrahmaDBA]

In my neighborhood exist an old Chicken Rice restaurant. The way they prepare their chicken rice is amazing, I would always see a lot of older Chinese aunt and aunties flock there during breakfast hours. I would always pass there during my morning run and get a chicken rice to go and eat it at home. I am so happy that you share this recipe, I will try and replicate it at home.

[@Maestro47]

This is one of those recipes which are so labor intensive. Fun to do once at home but it takes time and can get really messy with all the oil flying around. It's really worth it to go a restaurant and have them do a good quality chicken on the day.

[@willislau22]

That's why in Hong Kong we go to the restaurant to eat it instead of making it our own

[@david888a]

Exactly, the cooking method used in this episode is really time consuming n u r right , splashing oil all over the cooktop. Good to try once.

[@gnihtyreve]

you can use those skills on pigeon or smaller birds, don't limit your creativity 😊

[@joethesimple685]

I love chicken, especially when it's cooked that way. Chinese food is the best! 😊

[@elaine4237]

This looks so advanced, though your dad makes it look easy! Thanks for sharing another yummy Lau recipe!

[@theheroandlegendchannel]

I did the salty crispy tofu tonight. It was so good!!!! I’m looking forward to making this chicken. Have a great weekend y’all!

[@Jesus_Is_King_of_Kings7777]

Just seeing your dad on your channel, you can see his passion in his food and how proud of his traditional knowledge of the dishes he is making and explaining his dish is exciting. You just came into my algorithm, I watch other foodies and I want to sub to your channel just seeing this. I like to learn new tips and ways of making food. This was fun to watch. Thank you much for sharing your father's food skills.

[@jackyichan4759]

I could imagine doing this for cornish game hens as the smaller size is more manageable. Another fantastic video representing us Chinese-Americans out there! 👍

[@2Tone-x8h]

Now that is a brilliant idea. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

That's a great idea! I think I will try mastering the skills with a small Cornish hen first. I wonder what the cooking times would be?

[@david888a]

@@nrgltwrkr2225 I tried the recipe with half a chicken n after I heat up the oil,it’s every 5 minutes I turned the chicken over,(not using Mr Lau’s time consuming method) so for half a chicken,it took 20 minutes,for Cornish ,12-15 minutes should be ok. The chicken turned out crispy n moist n i cooked in high heat.

[@DocPetron]

​@nrgltwrkr2225 Just use a meat thermomether. I'm from a family of amateur cooks and my dad was a pro. While my dad can eyeball and time things, the rest of us have decided to use a meat thermomether. There are too many variables to use the timing method for even very good amateurs.

[@tentobot]

This fryng technique is something I do similar to the fried wings I do. The difference is that I fry the chicken under 300, around 250-275 and deep fry it until the the chicken is lightly brown. The trick is to hear the boiling sound, to know the frying process has cooked it through and the sound is coming from the natural juices. I would pull it out, let it cool down and place it in the refrigerator until it's needed. It would go through a final fry around 375 until crispy golden brown.

[@toxicrune]

Lau is the man. Long live this fine gentleman.

[@nitagee-fy9ez]

I love Chinese food but only have the ability to make simple stuff at home. For high quality Chinese food we go out for them in restaurants. I loved watching Daddy Lau cook. Daddy Lau, you are a true professional chef. There is so much thought that goes into what you do and how you do it. I truly appreciate knowing how complex it is to make a Chinese red fried chicken now. The next time I have this chicken in a banquet I will have a much more appreciation for all the work that goes into making it.

[@staudinga]

I've never seen anyone fry salt. This whole process is fascinating!

[@whataname01]

Loved to see the new addition to the family... Happy Lau family!

[@vma1234]

Daddy Lau really shows his skills! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I always have this dish in Chinese restaurant but has not idea how chiefs cook them.

[@wumao6797]

Attended a Chinese cooking class. They taught me to dry the chicken then hook it at the neck and just submerged the whole chicken in a vat of oil for over 20mins. After that use a fork and poke at the thigh to check if its fully cooked and run along the breast to test if the skin is crispy. The skin was crispy when its hot but becomes soft when it cools down. Will try this method this coming weekend to see if the skin still stays crispy when it cools.

[@GamingForSpeed]

Hi, I love what you are doing, it is the first time where I've watched a video and immediately subscribed. I applaud your making of videos as not only does it preserve the Chinese culture, but making such videos also seem to add color in your father's daily life. One suggestion I have for a future series is the concept of "fusion dishes" Where you take two separate dishes that your father has made and challenge him to incoporate it into a dish.

[@PabloRestobar]

This is the first chinese cook ive seen use measurements in my entire life

[@iamnotfooled]

Excellent !! Just love your videos showing how to cook authentic Cantonese food!!!

[@dianaong4989]

This looks yum. Can you please do a video on roast duck. Thanks

[@Gurashi]

Always one of my favorite dishes in a traditional Chinese wedding banquet

[@Billyjoe_Patriot]

The advantage of deep frying it is that it seales the outside, allowing the meat to retain its juices. Here it is so long bathed in oil that you are eating so much oil. My vietnamese girlfriend used to cook the chicken very slowly in a stock, then dried it and added very hot oil with a spoon in the skin. It was always delicious.

[@vincei4252]

So much massaging. That chicken is living the life.

[@alvarorodriguez1592]

I'm spanish and I am no stranger to keeping oil for reusing later, but the insane amount necessary for frying a whole chicken is too much for any oil holder in my culture. I find it funny that that would be the most difficult thing for a mediterranean to cook a chinese recipe. Anyhow, the airfrier is really just an oven, and all the tricks for making the skin crispier stillw work. I have tried it out for a classic chicken in the oven with potatoes and it's great. Thanks for sharing your dad's charisma with the internet! :D

[@iggytse]

I’ve been studying this to try and get crispy skin on an oven roasted chicken. I have tried blanching using an electric water jug which tightens the skin and renders some of the fat. Still can’t get the combination of moist meat and crispy skin but rewatching this I realise there is a second cooking process to isolate the skin cooking while minimising further meat cooking by blanching in hot oil. I want to buy a kitchen torch now and reverse sear the skin after the meat is cooking.
