[@Joebonesy]

someone needs to tell josh about all the sauces you can pick from lol

[@haydenwolfe8352]

Was just about to say! How you gonna rate them for no sauce when literally all they ask is would you like any sauces? 😂

[@georgeemerald4389]

Yeah I have no idea where that came from. You pick your sauce and put it on the sandwich. 😅

[@georgeemerald4389]

It's also never dry. It's the only fast food chicken that doesn't taste like fast food chicken.

[@shadowproductions969]

​@georgeemerald4389 never is a bold statement.. I've had good and bad experiences with most restaurants and night shift or busy cities tend to be the worst

[@josiaharaki7310]

​@shadowproductions969 the only time I've ever had a dry Chick-fil-A sandwich is when it's catered for a large event and the mass produced boxes are sitting out for an indeterminate amount of time before we eat

It’s just honey mustard bbq and mayo

[@adamcraig1468]

Its easy. 3 parts mayo, 2 parts smokey bbq, 1 part honey, 1 part mustard.

[@jroemling]

I tried adding 1g of amylase as you suggest because I thought it is the secret to soft buns, but turns out: what you were using is surely a ”bread improver” mix that contains some parts of amylase because if you use pure alpha amylase you are supposed to only use 0,006% of it, while you are using 0,2%, meaning I was overdosing by 30 times and my dough just turned into a gummy substance and did not develop a crumb at all. The buns came out like raw although they reached the correct internal temperature!

[@raymondvillegas1013]

Exact thing happened to me

[@Xscarecrowtx]

Never trying this guy recipe again

[@back_stabbath9729]

To be fair with the sauce debacle they do always ask you if you want to add sauce that you can always put on yourself. Also prefer oil-dipped style Nashvilles more than the Chick-fillit spicy these days and I don't even miss sauce on that plus it goes super good on a biscuit for brekky.

[@thechefnextdoor]

It's a pick your own sauce restaurant. He just needs a reason to put it down.

[@dsg45]

I’m from Scotland and first tried Chick Fil A in the US a few years ago, and neither store I visited asked me what sauce I wanted. I thought it was really overrated until I had it with sauce on a few years later

[@thechefnextdoor]

@@dsg45 That's not very Chick-fil-A of them! Because it's nowhere near as good without it.

[@espressonoob]

@@thechefnextdoor their food is only good when you dump a gallon of chick fil a sauce on it (140 calories a packet lol)

How did you go from "to be fair" and "debacle" to "brekky."

[@WabiSabbii]

As someone with a ton of allergies I love chick fil a cause I don’t have to worry about any sauce with something I’m allergic to and they only make chicken so I don’t have to worry about cross contamination with other meats either it’s so nice. Plus they have so many sauce options I like that so I can put the sauce on when I want and not have soggy bread.

[@Haenki]

I've never been to Chick-fil-A but as someone who is very picky when it comes to sauces (mustard and mayo are a no-go) I like the fact that you can put any sauce on.

Past chick fil a worker here. The secret to the spicy chicken is the buffalo marinade that comes already on the chicken from the manufacturer. Our coater is basically what you made, you got all the spices right. Our coater itself isnt that spicy and its only real difference from the regular is that it has paprika. Other than that, nailed the but better.

[@thomasfield8543]

Also, our chicken cuts are half breast meat half thigh meat.

They don't put sauce but they offer you any sauce that you want. I usually put the Chick fil A sauce. And it's can be a bit dry, but that's why I get the spicy deluxe, it has lettuce and tomato.

[@bartandlydia]

Yup, I prefer Polynesian sauce, but I agree the lack of sauce is intentional because you as the consumer get to pick what kind and how much to put on.

[@gomanthe14th71]

[@adrenmarlaine2668]

As a person who doesn't like mayo at all, (or many condiments on my sandwiches), I appreciate that Chick-Fil-A doesn't put sauces on their sandwiches. Not everyone is crazy about sauce and I like the fact that they give you the option to just do it yourself if you want that. I don't know if I just have good CFAs by me, but I eat my sandwiches without any sauce on them and my chicken is never dry. I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but I've always had a good experience with CFA. Plus, the spicy chicken sandwiches has a good amount of spice to it and I really appreciate that the spice is in the chicken and not in the sauce like in other restaurants.

nah I live in Mexico, and when I travel to the U.S. the thing I most look forward to is a Chick'fil'a Spicy chicken deluxe, with mac'n'cheese instead of fries and a root beer. It fast and delicious, but granted it is fast food. I have had better chicken sandwiches than what you get at chick'fil'a, but for the time it takes and how good it is it makes it worth it

[@aedoria]

I'm sorry Josh but I just can't do bread and butter pickles. You can pry my homemade half-sours out of my cold, dead hands. (That said, this recipe looks awesome, looking forward to trying the new recipe for the buns!)

Still waiting to see Papa take on Panera's cheddar broccoli soup. Easy enough to flex on a fast food sandwich but no homemade buns to elevate your soup game

[@OceanBagel]

So you ordered it without sauce and complained about there not being sauce...? They have some really good sauce, my favorite is the honey roasted barbecue.

[@DjClarkeTV]

I would love to see your take on Jamaican Food. Beef Patties & Coco bread, Jerk Chicken w/ Coconut Rice & Peas, oxtails etc

Facts

[@gomanthe14th71]

They have no sauce because you are supposed to put it yourself. And you get to choose how much sauce u want or combos. I think thats better than ordering the sauce and getting a sloppy mess.

[@thesilveralfa]

Used to work at CFA! We don’t do a sauce so those who have allergies (like me) don’t have to ask for it off, and then we have to make a whole separate sandwich and slow up the line.

Hey yall!! Heat up your jars before pouring hot/boiling liquid into them. You can do this by cleaning out your sink, plugging it, and filling it with really hot tap, put your jars in there for a minute. This will help prevent cracking or breaking ofyour jars.

[@miclowgunman1987]

To be fair, there aren't really many fast food restaurants that you couldnt cook a better version of the food of. thats kind of the point. If a restaurant offered this sandwich instead, it would be $12-15 easy. Fast food has to balance cheap with taste. The idea is to balance taste with affordable. If it ever becomes too easy to replicate, the quality is too low, and if it ever becomes too expensive, people will just make it themselves.

[@shadowproductions969]

I make a variation of the "crispy chicken flamethrower" sandwich and I might have to try that chicken recipe. To me, the chipotle mayo and thick cut bacon (on top of the deluxe dressing) just cranks everything to 11. A good tomato and pepperjack cheese makes any sandwich better

[@rash9488]

From over a decade ago, Wendy's had a special 4 alarm spicy chicken sandwich that has been my all time favorite chicken sandwich of all time.

[@c.h.r.i.s2253]

It is plain because they have a bunch of sauces you have to choose from. They are giving you the ability to choose your own and how much

[@erikpumera5501]

Looks really good, try making more fastfood but better, but with the same time the fastfoods made it. This would be a fair race, seeing which one is going to be better.

[@Thezedword12]

Chic Fil A is definitely not overrated. Easily the best fast food joint

[@GermanKinsmen]

I think Chick Fill-A not putting sauce on their sandwiches is genius, actually. If you want sauce, you can just ask for some sauce and then you get to decide how much you want on it. It's impossible to get complaints about there being too much or too little sauce.

[@bongo9384]

That's the company philosophy! The Grilled Chicken Sandwhich comes with Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce, for example, but you have full control over How Much You Want. I like half a packet, my coworker likes... two? The control is nice. Very much Have It Your Way.

[@mikemy]

You can ask for half a dozen sauces and the response is always "My Pleasure"... I think that's the whole point, not only avoiding a soggy sandwich on your way home but you can dress it with the exact flavor you prefer.

[@someoney1]

I want chick-fil-a now.

[@mpferguson0416]

All bread and butter pickles are traaaaassshhhh DILL FOR LIFE

[@Nsmitty1]

The problem with bread and butter pickles is the sweetness combined with the pickle flavor, which is not appreciated by everyone. I appreciate that the acidity is meant to balance the richness of the sandwich but an alternate way to do this is with pickled jalapeños, which adds to spiciness and cutts the aforementioned richness.

[@jumper0122]

Oh man yet another bun recipe! I have been making the chicken sandwich buns from your McChicken video. It's going to be a bit before I can make these and see what the difference is -- if anyone ends up making both, I'd love to see which one turns out the best! And they are most certainly different recipes in case anyone wants to double check -- if you convert this to baker's percentages, it'll be a little easier to see. Plus the one from the McChicken video had malt powder in it

[@shakir4969]

I really like this format better. Less obnoxious cuts and stuff to appeal to younger tiktok audience. I really enjoy this one

I like that Chick fil a doesn't lock me into a certain sauce. I can use whatever combo of sauces I like. They can't be the king of chicken, though, until they open on Sunday.

[@josephking188]

I’ve made both! They’re both tasty for sure, but I think the breasts have a much better texture for a sandwich. Breasts are just as easy to cook as thighs as long as you have a thermometer. Texture is way more important than the very slight difference in taste imo.

[@jacobwilliams4230]

Congrats on 8mil

[@n8guy]

Despite cheating by going with the thighs and sauce, this looks amazing. Definitely going to try it. Other than the bread n' butter pickles, which are literally the worst.

Ok can we talk about this this man literally just makes a homemade dish of fast food and says his food tastes better in every vid in this series😂😂😂

[@divinelotus19]

I made it. It's delicious and saved myself 40$. I didn't do the overnight. I needed it now. My son liked it also. He's 7. I went easy on the cayenne but I wanted that taste. Next time I'll half the breading and wash (egg, milk). I had a lot left over. I also pan fried it with 1/4 inch oil. Lard & EVOO Which was more than enough for my 5 chicken. I used chicken thighs pounded 1/4 inch thick. RIP Auntie Fee. Miss yeah.

[@tjbroussard3524]

I think what makes them succeed is the flavor profile of the chicken. Not so much the sandwich as a whole. It's the reasons everyone loves the nuggets.

[@Michael-ex8lk]

Chick-fil-A doesn't need to be the best. It needs to be good enough and judging from the line that goes around the building 3 times near me, I think they can consider it good for fast food. Also, just ask for sauce packets if you want a sauce.

[@prissygirl91]

Y’all really grind my gears when y’all don’t let that intro play out..

[@danielturchan4092]

If u get a sandwich special ordered… for example say “extra pickles” you won’t get a Sammy that’s been sitting in a bag for 3 hours under a hot lamp, you will get a freshly fried MOIST lil chicky with crispy bits and an acceptable amount of pickles… if that’s what u get, it’s a fantastic sandwich, otherwise it’s just OK

[@nikushim6665]

Here's the deal with Chick-fil-a and why everyone fails at making copycat recipes of it. Its simply just the equipment used to cook it, Chick-fil-a is cooked using a pressure fryer. Which your not gonna recreate at home unless you happen to have a 8,000 dollar fryer just sitting around. The actual recipe for the chicken has been public since way back when it used to be called the dwarf house.
