Thanks! Will do!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

That my friend will happen.....just stay tuned

[@bmc007]

I 100% agree about the seasonings... After about 100 times seasoning the flour (because i'm supposed to🤷🏻‍♂️) and not getting any flavor, i said hell with it!.. I season same as you.. in the eggs and then straight off the griddle.. the flavors pop and that's what you are looking for 👍... ... side note you guys are made for each other.. funny vid👍👍 keep em coming

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahahahaha spot on...thanks

[@anitaewing5836]

My husband wears hats everyday and he likes all of the hats, but really liked the one with the red bill.

Thanks Anita...noted

[@2Wheels_NYC]

Matt's Show Notes: 1. We dredge exactly the same way, right down to a certain hot sauce in the egg. 2. Season your meat! 3. Shallow frying for the win! Deep frying traps steam, and pushes that beautiful crust off. Shallow frying allows the steam to escape, and gives that perfect GBD crust you got! 4. Nothing better than a quick pan gravy. 5. It's 0300, and I'm eating a bowl of pulled pork 😂 Excellent work as always!

Glad you did the gravy, necessary touch for the "country fired" vibe. On the hat, I lean toward the black panel, red bill one.....though a denim panel rather than black would be a touch of "country" too.

I'm with you bud. Never waste your spices in the flour! I will from time to time add a little seasoning to the wet along with some green Tabasco for zing. I can't believe how crispy your chicken turned out. Got to try this!

Right on buc... get a lot of crap for it...but its really tried and true...

Cornstarch in the flour, maybe 1 tsp for your amount of flour. I also learned on America’s Test Kitchen that if you just use egg white and not the yolks, the breading sticks better. Great video.

Hey I was just talking about you in an earlier comment...didnt you say that you can now buy a griddle if so what brand and how will you buy it...

Yes correct, Blackstone is coming to the UK👏👏👏and the supplier who i contacted also have the Pit Boss in stock as well, Blackstone should be over about February-March just in time for the summer🙏🏻👍so when it is in stock I’m going to have a look at the pit boss and Blackstone in the flesh as they say and walk away with my new toy😂😂in fairness I’ll probably opt for the Blackstone because i think its probably more robust and can take the metal utensils a lot more, but who knows😂😂😂i definitely know a flat top grill is coming home to Johnny this year😂😂😂trust me👍👍👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I see a box of Diamond Crystal there, I know I've mentioned it a shit load of times so I'm tempted to claim credit 😂 I've been using pre-packaged rubs less and less these days, and just seasoning with whatever I want in layers... mostly because I got a Pepper Cannon and feel like freshly cracked pepper absolutely makes a difference over pepper that's been in a rub for a long time, and I've found I don't have to worry about rubs clumping when I'm not using them. Chicken looks good though. I prefer dark meat if it's going to be fried.

@@MrScubajsb depending on the shape you want to flip and season as well. I completely agree with building layers… my only problem is when you have so much waste in flour and seasoning.
