How to Make Restaurant-Quality Chicken Piccata at Home

[@wiltmarlonelao]

Really love your cooking style, Sonny. If the dish needs to be kept simple, you keep it simple. If it needs more effort, you don't take shortcuts. Not to mention you always give quick and easy explanations for why you do things the way you do and your videos aren't longer than they have to be. I've been watching a lot of cooking channels here in KZbin through the years, but I think you're the first one I'm clicking the bell for. I hope you keep these inspired recipes coming.

[@thatdudecancook]

Thanks so much! I'll always try and keep it simple when it comes to recipes.

[@besotoxicomusic]

Him and Chef John are the only ones I watch consistently. Mainly because they are no BS, only as long as it needs to be length, yet still insert plenty of their own personalities to make the videos distinctly theirs.

[@bjstrawser]

This is one of the many reasons why Sonny's cooking content is -- and I mean this -- the best quality cooking content on KZbin right now. Keep it up Sonny!! Scream into those pillows and kick that fridge's ass!!! :)

[@thatdudecancook]

I love recipes like chicken piccata, simple ingredients, short cook time, and most importantly that amazing restaurant taste!! HAPPY COOKING!!

[@nadas9395]

I love these chicken recipes too, seeing as how buying supermarket breasts gives you like 3 portions a piece. Less steakcentric stuff is good, too. Nearly every cooking channel is 'steak steak steak, pork, more steak'. Thanks very much!

[@christianoliver3572]

I agree completely. Hey another good quick one is balsamic chicken or chicken marsala

[@henrytheturnip]

Hey Sonny, long time fan. Would love to see some batch cooking / make in advance videos, or at least advice on storing and using leftovers.

[@Jokr_Meta]

New style is good but I really prefer the old style where you talk while you cook instead of using a voice over…

[@pthedavie]

the new soundtracks crack me up..the winning orchestra sound at the end was entertaining

[@Kfish1963]

"If pasta box says cook for 10 minutes, cook for 8 minutes and finish cooking in the pan for 2 more minutes" THESE are the tips I absolutely crave when watching these videos. BTW...chicken picatta is one of my personal favorites to order in Italian restaurants. Never made it myself. I sure will now!

[@phoghat]

Thanks!

[@thatdudecancook]

Thanks for supporting the channel. Tom!

[@lisaboban]

Sonny, I love it when you put your own twist on a classic recipe. And everyone needs about 100 chicken recipes!

[@ArtVarque]

Dude, you are a breath of fresh air. The current wave of YT 'chefs' that seem to think that they're auteurs, or at least ASMR masters, wear me out. Most people don't have time to sit thru someone dicing onions for 2 full minutes, followed by flouring a piece of meat for another two. The fact that you cut to the chase and get on with the damn thing has put you (and Sam the Cooking Guy) at the top of my YT recipe list. Plus, you make me laugh.

[@heytherebato]

Lisa Nyugen is what comes to mind....insanely popular channel and she absolutely sucks at cooking. People just listen for her voice

[@Ena48145]

Yeah! Not to mention he doesn't throw his food halfway across the kitchen and slam things down on the counter and make a giant mess.. somehow that's what gets views these days. I can't stand it

[@Ena48145]

@@heytherebato God, it freaking pains me to watch her "cook." I miss her old videos where she would show local businesses and eat with the owners. She has no idea how to cook or put things together, yet she's another KZbin millionaire. I guess I'm bitter? Lol

[@DubbleA22]

I watch Sam too, but his videos are too long. Sonny has figured it out. Good recipes for real food, humor and the perfect video length.

[@ArtVarque]

@@DubbleA22 I agree, Alex, Sam's vids can drag on a little, but he's pretty entertaining so I'm OK with it. Sonny, IMO, has mastered the art of short videos packed with useful info and FWIW, I think he's funny as hell.

[@VintageFLA]

I made this the other night and it was fantastic. I used Rice a Roni (lol) instead of pasta this time as I've been eating too much pasta lately. It's kind of partially pasta. I like the tip about not seasoning the flour, makes sense. I love using white wine in the sauce. I buy those small picnic size bottles of chardonnay to use in cooking. Aldi actually had decent Italian bucatini for $1.99 a package this week which blew my mind.

[@Ena48145]

That's a great tip about the tiny wine bottles! That way you're not wasting a whole bottle and letting it go stale if you don't drink it. I'll have to remember that

[@Izeezus]

Me and my kids watch your videos every evening, you’re an inspiration for them thank you

[@davidhamilton5689]

My wife and I made this for 8, it was a bit of work but turned out great. Everyone loved it. Thanks for motivating us to give it a try!

[@1erinjames]

Nice tip about seasoning the meat itself vs seasoning the flour!!

[@JKonstanzer]

Your channel continues to get better and better! Will certainly try this version of chicken piccata

[@jaytownsend4606]

Dude! I've seen MANY cooking shows/videos and you have it, that je ne sais quoi. Entertaining and informative and comedic. The trifecta of successful qualities needed. You remind me a little of my all-time favorite food personality, Anthony Bourdain, may he rest in peace.

[@jimmymoo104]

It’s great the way this channel has gone 👍

[@rachelevelyn777]

I'm so happy to see you're being filmed now and don't have to do it yourself anymore! It's like watching my baby grow up 😭 tears of joy right now 🥰 and the fridge is outside now and you got a new kitchen and everything bruh I'm so happy for you!!! Maybe one day I'll have the courage to start my own cooking show ☺️

[@Mark-ds7ug]

I really love your channel especially master sargent pepper grinder and when you go MMA on your refrigerator.

[@Ed-yj8ts]

This is a killer recipe!! Thank you for sharing, and especially for not compressing a 4 minute video into 20 minutes. Next level Piccata use 1/2 lemon cut into 1/8-1/4 inch slices and include with the reducing piccata sauce. The zest of the peel and the complexity of the pith is wonderful.

[@bleezham]

Try adding lemon curd in addition... maybe 1/4 cup or less for this recipe, it does sweeten it up a bit so some vinegar as well, maybe a tablespoon of rice wine vinegar.....

[@movingonandup322]

I love this guy. Great personality. Great and very helpful general tips (tips for stuff outside of specifics of this particular recipe). Method and ingredients for recipe seemed more professional and better than others given on KZbin imo. Great upload. Thank you & subscribed!☺️🍝

[@shawnswain5826]

One of my favorite dishes and you make me feel like I’m missing out!

[@stephensano9156]

Sonny, you never fail to deliver! Chicken Piccata is a favorite of mine and your version is beautiful from preparation to plate presentation. I would be remiss if I didn't mention your acrobatic, military MSGT. Gilbert peppermill delivery seasoning! So much fun!

[@7t7o7]

Yeah, it looked like they were both just two steps away from more than just some Peppermill delivery.

[@michaelsweet3256]

It's always been an intimidating dish for me. Thank you for making me feel like I can pull it off!

[@rolandsteele2986]

Love this guy!! Appreciate what your doing for us home cooks.

[@nikkib4368]

Omg the flour approach is brilliant! I’m always frustrated throwing out a bowl of flour afterwards. Duh me for not thinking to do it this way! You’re a gem!

[@7t7o7]

The day has finally come when common sense is seen as brilliance. My grandparents all warned me about this years ago.

[@ugawtwrekd4717]

Every time I watch a video of yours I end up feeling a bit smarter in the kitchen, happier in my heart, and hungrier in my belly! 🎉

[@tidee7782]

1:34 That Gordon Ramsay “Olive oil in!” Got me :)))

[@theoaksmeister]

Looks and sounds amazing, I can almost smell it here in Sheffield in the UK 🇬🇧 😀

[@rwjehs8101]

That fridge got to move to a new home and probably thought "Whelp, can't get worse than the last place". Little did that poor fridge know.

[@jonathanweir8467]

Best one yet! My five year old daughter loved it thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@edulira]

The best dishes always have some love in them 1:08

[@joedennehy386]

You guys seem to think that " restaurant food" is the ultimate. Except for the top few percent it just isn't better. The main attraction is that you don't have to cook, and the sense of occasion. The dish you just cooked is better than most restaurants.

[@MvpAngler1040]

I always like your videos man. You bring this energy and you’re different. Should definitely have your TV show on HBO or something.

[@matthewzahnzinger]

Made this last night, and it was a huge hit. Definitely a recipe that I think works best with a second pair of hands in the kitchen for those of us not professionally trained(!!!), but absolutely delicious. Substituted gluten-free one-to-one flour for my partner, and the flavor was still out of this world. (The sauce might have been a little thinner than yours, but at that point I was too tired to try whisking in any more flour to thicken it, and it was so flavorful regardless.) Looking forward to the next one-might try your steak Diane...

[@bitburg40]

I used to use bags to pound meat but now I use my old silpats. Works great.

[@oscarmaximov1231]

My attention span has not been damaged, you are truly great reminding me of masterchef Australia masterclass episodes, we want to learn from somebody like and if you fill gapes with your personal life, all the better!

[@hogue3666]

Gorgeous plating!

[@GreenWitch1]

Really good tips & an excellent recipe to follow! Brava 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@IndridCool54]

I’ve watched your early videos and I must say, you’re a genius. The persona you present on these later videos is likely your real persona. I’m so glad you were able to ditch that mask and give us the true Sonny! Plus, that dude, Sonny, can cook!!! ¡Gracias amigo! You know I love ya!

[@olivalopez1110]

Very delicious recipe. I loved it!!!❤

[@NinjaLifestyle]

Looks great! 😀

[@maxpower4584]

It’s always a good day when I can watch Sonny cook an amazing dish.

[@davidbuben3262]

Great show and tips. Thanks! Is there such a thing as pork piccata? I gots porkchops, so that's what I'm making tonight.🙂 You've also taught me how important making a pan sauce is, and this one looks fantastic. BTW, Love my new Old Thompson hotel peppermill. Thanks for that recommendation.

[@Matan2222222]

Brings a smile to my face every time, Thank You!

[@rxlo1015]

Looks delicious, Happy Birthday!

[@xisleprez]

Just made this ...came out awesome ! Thank you great recipe. ❤️😁💯

[@davidr9104]

Nice tip about sprinkling the flour on the chicken versus dredging it. I threw out about 1.5 cups of flour today. Will be using your method for now on

[@tushfinger]

Amazing food/production as always

[@cruiserflyer]

Made this today for the family. It was a big hit. I have some practicing to do to adjust my timing but it was excellent. Thanks Sonny!

[@shirleyconti1361]

I also add sliced mushrooms.

[@scottywheeling8756]

I liked it 😂! You guys are hilarious! Thanks can’t wait to try it

[@mirceskiandrej]

At 00:18 I already knew the fridge is gonna get absolutely fucked

[@slickyjorj]

I gotta make this, looks so good. Dig your channel.

[@Voxphyle]

I've watched a few videos on this channel, and I really like it. I'm also convinced this dude is Giovanni Ribisi's long lost brother.

[@besotoxicomusic]

Not gon lie. Started watching your vids because you rekt your fridge. Stay because the recipes are good. Recommend your channel to everyone because you’re the first guy I’ve respected since my Pops to have carry the name Sonny.

[@delonscott6248]

Absolutely love the Gordon reference "Olive oil in"

[@celiachavez9997]

Yum!❤️love the pepper!

[@maxkharpovitski6399]

Man, that fridge got a new scar from that second throw! Oh, and cool recipe :P

[@jhz55]

Watching your videos makes me miss working in the restaurant industry.

[@getting-on-my-nirvana]

you make my favorite cooking videos dude you could make moldy fast food sound and look appealing

[@Manuelgtrrz]

Love how you give that fridge the business

[@marklewis6837]

I wonder what your new neighbors thought when you moved in and put a fridge in your garden just to periodically beat the crap out of it... Another cracking video.

[@davidbuben3262]

That's funny. I can picture the neighbors peeking thru the blinds or curtains: Martha! He's at it again. Come quik!

[@Web-Slinger42]

1:07 Hearing this with your eyes closed 😂

[@DogToffee9]

Tried the chicken & chorizo last weekend. We all absolutely loved it! So simple🤤 🎉 I felt like kicking the living shit outta my fridge too! But my wife cut me ‘the look’..so I didn’t…if you know you know! 😆 Keep up the great work dude & thank you 🙏🏻

[@sofakinggood5829]

I made this on Tuesday night. Crowd pleaser. Even the picky eaters wolfed it down. Good thing I made 6 pieces instead of 4.

[@Neoviper240]

Please don’t change! Love the videos sir!

[@Gravvvyyy]

And most importantly! GREAT FOOD.

[@patrickackerman1744]

Love all your videos! More Marcus please lol

[@peteluetz2586]

When you add the butter to the sauce , I always take the pan off of the heat to avoid “breaking the butter”. Maybe add the butter at the last before you reintroduce the chicken at the end .

[@fungamer5]

Hey man, love your stuff! Please do more healthy meals

[@swametee2898]

Looks simple enough!!

[@fernandorosales4569]

I've been sending your videos to my family in Mexico and they love to eat your bad ass recipes

[@thegodofpez]

Next time I visit Austin I’ll have to bonbard you for restaurant requests! 😊

[@genehenson8851]

Nice to see the master sergeant make his return.

[@AllanAdamson]

Looks awesome

[@jamesbyrnes9670]

Cool way to serve pasta. Never saw that before.

[@basingstokedave4292]

i just love garlic pasta too

[@McBB-Ray]

Great Video. I decided I wanted to make Chicken Piccata tonight. This was the Video I watched . ❤ You've earned yourself a like and subscribe.

[@mjohn3006]

White wine is a must! My wife won't get chicken Picatta at restaurants anymore because she likes mine better. It is her favorite meal. Your recipe is nearly identical to mine. I just use more capers. She likes sour.

[@ChristopherCricketWallace]

Happy Birthday, Aria!

[@TheSpeedyStevie]

Made this tonight for the family. Was a huge win, they loved it. !Didn't use wine and subbed vege stock as we had it on hand.

[@zachward777]

Best cooking channel period

[@kelliwilliams7145]

I’m loving your big chicken tweezers! Where do I buy those? haha

[@thepolingclan]

Dadgum that looks good. I'll be making this soon

[@dh7139]

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL😂 making this tonight, so good, keep it up and thank you!!

[@noncthibodeaux1834]

It would be so awesome if you did a series for those of us who are professional cooks

[@darinbeepath629]

Ohhhh yehhhh...now lets go💪🤘

[@AnomlyArchive]

Hey Sonny, You should make Chicken Puttanesca.

[@TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

The next time that I make chicken piccata, I will follow THIS recipe! I made it once following another recipe and it was *ok* , but I always trust you Sonny! 😊 Thank you!

[@pilipinasito9653]

I JUST LOVE THIS RECIPE AND EVERYTHING IS FULL OF GOOD AND EXCITING EXPERIENCE WATCHING YOU....BY THE WAY, MY FIRST TIME TO COOK THE CHICKEN PICCATA...AND WITH PASTA... IT IS REALLY GOOD...THANK YOU "MR THATDUDECANCOOK"..

[@CaseyHealsMe]

Where did you go to school for cooking? You can tell you are a trained chef, I am a fine dining waiter here in Vegas and you remind me of the Chefs at Bouchon where I worked, on point and knowledgeable:) keep up the content I love it..

[@antonioussykas4140]

Thank you for another great dish. The seasoned thick pasta really pushed this dish beyond normal recipes. The spice from the chili flakes hit just right. I think the sauce should be doubled. I didn't want to be stingy with it and mine ended up making enough for three. The other issue, which is just my own, is cooking the chicken right. Twice cooking it like this threw me off a bit and I felt it was a little chewy.

[@craiganderson3952]

Love your enthusiasm my friend. Any suggestions for substituting the capers? Great vid!

[@Julieskitchen-y5e]

Wow looks so delicious chicken piccata

[@lee2265]

AMAZING CHEF..

[@danielleurk9480]

Made this tonight from your video. So delicious and I'm sure me and son in law messed up some, but delicious.

[@reccemik]

looks fantastic

[@scottlangley6148]

My family and I really enjoy a lot of your recipes. What can I use instead of wine

[@kevincarrigan2798]

I cook my chicken piccata almost the exact same way. My family asks for it everytime we are together haha. Never skimp on the butter cuz it makes the sauce!

[@peteluetz2586]

I substituted Salmon and it came out wonderful.

[@Tomcat05warpup]

Imma have to try this, looks so good.

[@bridgeboy513]

Better every episode
