KFC vs. Popeyes FRIED CHICKEN in RICE COOKER HACK RECIPE! DELICIOUS Food Hack

[@tovopro]

Have you tried removing the breaded skin and putting it aside before putting the chicken in the rice cooker? Bake the skin separately (375 for about 10-15 minutes), and mixing it with the steamed rice/chicken mix? 👍

[@shalomkitty]

Twizzle Vee evil genius

[@petecole4797]

I was thinking the seasoning from the skin is what seasons the rice if you don't add all the extra ingredients.

[@FecalMatador]

Pete Cole I’d imagine the chicken stock as fell as chicken fat that renders off the chicken is what flavors it

[@jasonjones3694]

You just blew my mind 🤯

[@MrKevin486]

Yea but you need the seasoning on the skin to make the rice taste good

[@MeiBabee]

Mikey...where I’m from, fried chicken doesn’t get left over

[@lorale8095]

ikr, they're gone instantly. Not even the crumbs inside of the bucket.

[@arcaneghost24]

Honestly same, if anything gets leftover it's the fries or biscuits that come with the family buckets but my family spares nothing with regards to the chicken itself lmao

[@BrosMinecraft2]

arcaneghost24 bro I always destroy the biscuits and fries first 😂😂😂

[@Bedlam66]

I put leftover Fried Chicken in my air fryer for about 10 mins and it's almost as good as new. you can also pop it in the oven if you don't have a air fryer.

[@FecalMatador]

Yeah, I use my convection oven whenever trying to make old fried foods nice and crispy. Things like fast food fried chicken retina a lot of fat and oil, so it just refries itself

[@jasonjones3694]

I usually put it in the oven at 400 for 20 mins and that gets it nice an crispy

[@Bedlam66]

@@seamslatasha3598 I thought the same thing but flavor of the spices and herbs in the skin ends up all thoughout the rice and it it's really good. Once you Shred the Chicken and mix it up you don't even notice the soggy skin.

[@jessica2650]

David Rose the chicken also gets dry

[@kchasehenson57]

Original recipe KFC isn't crispy when it's fresh but it's soooo good 💜😎

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

I made curry chicken this way one time where I made the curry and precooked the chicken on the side, and threw it into the rice cooker with uncooked rice at the bottom. Fantastic method for cooking rice, similar to biryani in concept.

[@NaNameYuzu]

Less dishes to do.

[@sanchitipatil]

Yes

[@XenonKirito]

but spending more money at the same time. lol. I mean if it's on discount or you have the money? Then go ahead. Or else it's pretty pricey to just make that into "Chicken rice" You don't exactly have to get it from fast food places you could use those frozen fried chicken as well to save cost.

[@자시엘-l1s]

XenonKirito You could use any leftover meat basically

[@nikkibedford47]

That crunch when he bit into Popeyes at the start. 💕

[@DevHawk]

The main thing I learned here: I need to buy myself a rice cooker.

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

nope - you just need to learn how to cook rice - a rice cooker doesn't do anything that you can't do with a regular pan on a regular cooker

[@DevHawk]

@@5ynthesizerpatel True, and I've microwaved and cooked my fair share, but do have to admit the thought of "set it and forget it" makes it appealing.

[@cold2d]

Haven't had fried chicken since the quarantine started D:

[@lunayen]

You and me both. I usually hate kfc (we don't have Popeye's) but even *I* want some now.😭

[@carols3517]

Make your own. Use self raising flour plus salt to get that crispy. I usually marinate the chicken in 1/4 cup Tabasco, 1 tsp cayenne, 1/4 cup water and 1tbsp Dijon mustard. Mix and marinate 1 hr or 5-6 hrs. Roll in flour and fry.

[@carols3517]

Let me know if you guys try this,?

[@kjdc147]

pretty sure they got free deliveries if you don't wanna make em.

[@kchasehenson57]

@@carols3517 if you add some cornstarch to the flour it's even more crispy and still crispy the next day. Just heat it in the oven if you want to. It's even good cold though. 💜

[@stormchylde3999]

We have a Popeye's, KFC and Bojangles here, so lots of fried chicken to choose from. I love original KFC (actually have some here right now), and while not a lover of things too spicy, I do like Popeye's regular style when I want a crispier crust. Wonder which would be best between KFC or Popeye's regular?

[@maymay5600]

If you want to reheat your fried chicken without refrying put it in your sandwich press. I put baking paper on the top so the chicken doesn’t get caught in the grooves on the lid.

1:24 PUT THE CHICKEN INTO A PAN AND THROW IT INTO THE OVEN ON 300 OR 350 DEGREES FOR 10-20 MINS. That's how you get it back crispy. Want it more tender then bake the chicken in the oven on a lower temp longer and then turn it up to get that skin crispy.

Eleven....Eleven herbs and spices: Including enough MSG to take down a buffalo. It always makes me smile when people say they can't handle the MSG in Chinese food and say they are allergic. Then in the next breath they admit to loving KFC and have no problems with the food from there. Virtually everything on the KFC menu has MSG in it to one degree or another. Not hating....just saying.

Love your food voice, Mikey. Going to order a bucket of the Colonel soon to do this at home. What's the deal with the open kitchen cabinet in the bottom left? Do you have limited sponsorship from Ziploc and so you have to show their products (visible on the shelf of the mysteriously open kitchen cabinet?) when you film? The video was obviously shot over at least two different meal times, if not two different days. Cabinet door still not closed? Is it to establish a manly 'I don't care' vibe or something?
