Jenn enlists the help of Sang Yoon, the guy behind Father’s Office and Lukshon, to get nerdy about frying. Sang may be best known for his Father’s Office burger, but he’s a mad scientist of a chef who Alton Browns whatever he’s making, and he knows how to make some pretty excellent fried chicken.

Hi everyone!! Thanks for watching this week’s nerdy episode of “The Bucket List!” I asked chef Sang Yoon to help me break down the science of frying and how to make the best fried chicken. We visited Tokyo Fried Chicken Company in Monterey Park (highly recommend!!) then head to his test kitchen to make chicken together. Be sure to comment and let me know your favorite fried chicken spots!!

yall wanna learn how to hold some damn chopsticks...

[@biggdaddy202003]

Jenn you are a writer an yet everything is a "situation" when you talk about food. Having sauce on the side is not a situation. Adding heat to something does not make it a spicy situation. Not trying to nick pick but, you can do better than some hipster overuse of a word that does not even fit what you are talking about. It is the same with people who call everything Epic or women who call everything cute.

Hi Jenn you need to find some Korean fried Chicken places to eat. They even have a fried chicken university in Korea.

[@bt1725]

Where did this guy learn how to use chopsticks, good god. Someone tell me he's not left handed

[@ericlim5613]

Giving me anxiety the way they hold the chopsticks

[@JennHarris]

I'm very sorry about this haha

[@Bluelabel1010]

Never seen anyone eat fried chicken with a glove and chopsticks.

[@yungpepe]

Great actual content, but the sound levels are all over the place.

[@ginanguyen7948]

Bruh this dude talks smack about Jenn's chopstick holding and his is just as bad

[@yadthink]

The use of sound waves in frying was amazing!

[@JennHarris]

I thought so too!

[@DankDave211]

These 2 low-key don't like each other.

[@johnchernabcinterviewandca3153]

Jeez, that AP watch.

[@marghebimoullabiere9629]

Using potato starch and what else?

[@westwardpomonagyrl4358]

They should go a date

[@brieT-gx7by]

There was some low key flirting going on

[@ruthtroutpout4596]

You want to learn frying see how the Chinese do it on a hot wok. They take it to smoking point to fry to that there no sogginess.

[@KHobbies_cina]

actually they use recycled oil from the previous batch , that was the water is emulsified into the new oil

[@ruthtroutpout4596]

@@KHobbies_cina What you talking about? Im a Chinese chef?

[@ibec69]

Were they planning to stab each other with the chopsticks? My mother would have slapped me in the head with her slipper if I had done that when we were kids.

[@Pr0noTrigger]

Dude looks like the dad from Parasite's little brother

[@linda.888]

Neither of them knows how to hold nor use chopsticks properly. Their mothers must be embarassed by their poor skills. Someone needs to smack their hands and give them forks instead.

[@seropserop]

First

[@florisverbraeken9210]

Too bad frying that potato starch is carcinogenic...(acrylamide)

[@BUENONOBUENO]

this vid gets pre awkward in the end half

[@biggdaddy202003]

It was that way the whole time actually. He seemed more like he had to be forced to talk to her about anything.

[@binkdawg9436]

A nod to the great american south? Really bro

[@marghebimoullabiere9629]

We learned nothing what’s the fkg point
