I Tested 5 Fried Chicken Methods To Figure This Out

[@thatdudecancook]

Which one looked the best to you??

[@F.Andre1377]

All of them sonny 😮

[@nicholasmarano88]

Probably corn starch; but now I’m excited to try your first pick Sonny, thanks!! Best fridge destruction yet btw

[@angelatruly]

WOW thanks for this research. I think I going to use cornstarch, but if I can find the potato perhaps I will mix the two. HELP: Perhaps you can suggest a replacement for the fish sauce in this recipe? I have acquired a rare fish allergy from a grandmother that I never met. 🤧 🙃

[@Rufhsloe_63839]

Indonesian fried chicken still the best, you should look video "resep fried chicken" we only use flour and baking soda

[@tn5630]

Should have tested it after saucing them up too

[@MamaStyles]

3/4 Cornstarch and 1/4 flour or all cornstarch and a club soda slurry with baking powder and dash of paprika for colour is my magic base for any deep fried food. I do salmon fish and chips for my teens all the time(it’s a big thing on Vancouver island where I’m from) and it’s the only batter that can hold up to the oiliness of salmon…it’s perfect for anything..,onion rings,fish,chicken wings!

[@yannisams8556]

Can u pls specify the measurement with the baking powder? Thank you @mamastyles

[@Lasgoboze]

Instead of using just normal water for the batter, if you use tonic water or seltzer it will bring that airy crunch factor to the next level. You should give that a try sometime and see the difference. It’s quite astonishing actually. Overall though great video!

[@fuzziemunkey]

yeah those can take it up a notch, beer works well too

Thank you for re-posting that sauce recipe, I was looking thru your library and couldn't find it. I've tried it and it hooked me immediately, somehow I lost the bit of paper with the recipe on it. Thank you so much for re-posting this! As for the batter I use half cornstarch and half all purpose flour, for me has the best taste and consistency.

This videos comes at the right time. We do taste testings for our small food business were we also wanna offer chicken wings. Like seriously. The food tasting is tonight and i havent perfected the crunch. Thank you for that. Will try it your way👌

[@cheyco21]

Great vid, you're a good instructor. I like to to go dry-wet-dry with the thicccc sweet potato starch. Also for those who can't source the thiccc stuff just spray some regular with a water-spritzer and work it in a few times until it gets a bit mealy (sorry if you covered this in your other vid.) This works with corn starch too. Just discovered your channel and really liking the content. Thank-you.

[@theflakiburns]

Ohhhh my GOD, I love those fridge beatdowns SO SO SO MUCH 😂 It's so funny and it makes me feel so good.

[@nothing_burger]

You should do a part II of this video and try: - White Rice Flour like they do in Thai Fried Chicken - the flour/batter mixture they use for Korean Street food style fried chicken - Try blending percentages of some of the flours/starches you used in this video to see if a combination can yield you better results than on their own - Lastly, instead of water, use carbonated water and an egg when making the batter to see if it changes the end result. You could really make an awesome comparison video series on this topic that tons of people would love to see Kudos on this one 👍

[@summerant38]

Agreed. I was expecting to see how various blends would compare because I always see people say they mix flour and cornstarch and whatnot. A tiny bit disappointed in this video but it definitely helps set some bases.

[@conorryan3035]

Half rice-flour, half all-purpose is my go-to starch batter and works very good for wings

[@elrey8876]

I was going to say that a combo of sweet potato starch and cornflour might get the best of both worlds.

[@100nitrog2]

I like to do 3:1 potato starch to AP flour.

[@tushfinger]

This is epic. These blessed specimens would give me joy for a lifetime, except for the brown rice...

[@2Wheels_NYC]

Nice comparison! I've always used 50/50 AP & corn starch, but definitely going to try straight corn starch next time!

[@davidbuben3262]

Me too!

[@CarterJ9]

I tried it a month ago when I ran out of flour. Never looking back.

[@johnnyrascal6109]

I like the combo of the two

[@hopelovett4966]

Thanks!

[@thatdudecancook]

Thank you, Hope!

[@jeffhildebrand4287]

3 parts APF and 1 part corn starch is what I do to find the best texture and crunch. Thanks for sharing!

[@leinvd_]

New house videos been a 10/10!

[@kade82]

For really crunchy wings I do the same thing I do for extra crispy fried chicken: dredge in seasoned flour, dip in batter, and then dredge again in seasoned flour. Of course, it adds some calories and needs to cook a bit longer. But it's worth it.

[@isaacroberts7752]

I would love to see you combine different ratios of these to get the best synergistic winner.

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

Beating up your fridge has got to be my favorite channel gimmick its always so funny 😂

[@robapple78]

My mom absolutely loves you! We were watching this and half way through asked if you “still do the refrigerator thing” 😂. I said “stay focused!”, but I was actually wondering when it was coming and we cracked up when the notification popped up. Great video as always. We have potato and corn so I’d like to try to mix those but she went on Amazon and ordered some sweet potato because you said so. Cheers!

[@yetiatlarge555]

Sony you're killing me man I haven't even gotten to the end of the video yet and I'm hoping that you do the combination 40% wheat flour 30% corn starch 30% potato starch

[@thatdudecancook]

I haven't even messed around with combos yet, on the fridge I do combos all the time

[@thetitsarefree]

Is that a well known blend? Sounds good but I never heard of it

[@yetiatlarge555]

Just like Sonny did an epic grind blend for the perfect Burger those starch blends can give you the best of both worlds and make them very complex never forget the best fried chicken marinade in history is buttermilk pickle juice and Frank hot sauce

[@lowdownone]

@@yetiatlarge555 which video was that? Sounds good

[@yetiatlarge555]

@@lowdownone It was a short I think just talking about a basic Burger at the end of the day a good blend starts with mostly Chuck and then you can add short rib skirt flap or something leaner if you want a more healthy Burger like eye of round

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Another thing with bigger chickecn pieces: I like to steam the chicken peices Asian style first and then cool them in the fridge. That way I can steam a bit of flavour into the meat, it’s really tender and it retains all the juice when subsequently deep fried - and the cooking time is shorter which means that the batter does not burn before the chicken is done to the bone. THAT helps to preserve the taste of any spices added to the flour mix, because they are not simply fried and burned into oblivion.

[@furball8967]

That sauce looked so good and easy to make! What’s even better, I have those exact ingredients too! Cheers for that Dude.

[@benturton3358]

Thanks for this mate. These flour’s work for fish too. Absolutely my favourite cooking channel to watch. Cheers mate 👍

[@nikosfilipino]

I have been pondering this question for years but have been too lazy to test it myself. You have no idea how satisfying this video was bruv

[@Ja2808R]

Good job on the long-form. I learned a lot, from a fellow home-chef. Win for the corn, looking to try the sweet potato.

[@thelionofgod]

The maillard reaction takes places more quickly in used oil than in clean oil, so part of the reason why the brown rice flour browned more is that the oil had already been used for all the other cooks. Also, your batters may have been composed of the same ratio of flour to water, but they were of very different consistencies because different flours will have different absorption capacities. Might be worth doing a comparison of equally viscous batters next time.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Good point. I do believe rice flour generally does brown or burn a little faster than regular flour, maybe because its a little sweeter …

corn and potato blend. mix them with water to make ooblek. let the hydrated starch fall to the bottom of the bowl and pour off excess water. mix in all wings at once, the wings will provide enough moisture to loosen the ooblek to a batter. coat and double fry. top tier korean wings.

What I do is mix 50/50 cornflour with all purpose flour. I believe it's similar to what korean fried chicken does in korea. Just like the way you make your sauce at the end, instead of siracha, it;s gochujang for the spice. I have COVERED it in sauce, and then put the left over in the fridge and find them still crunchy 24hrs later. Yes, I was surprised too! covered with sauce, still crunchy? I was quite surprised.
