Dropping this on a Sunday is the real flex

Helpful more than flex imo

"Where is the Chick-Fil-A sauce?!", Gordon asked calmly.

[@abbynormal7525]

Calmly 😂

[@matthewmanning6195]

God tier memeing

[@Vulphrahm]

Tbh, I never eat Chic Fil A without the sauce. I think Josh should've taken the sauce into account for this video.

[@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

[@darkxzero13]

[@glenns3122]

CFA isn’t over rated. It is so well liked because it’s simple and consistent. It’s not mind blowing but it’s good every time.

the Chic Fil A sauce is ASSCHEEKS compared to the Polynesian sauce

[@Sarcastic358]

Hey Josh, I have watched so many foods videos on KZbin but it is your channel that gave food and it's making process a real and fun meaning. I hope you would never stop. ❤️

[@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)

[@O_ORashad]

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

[@DrMindy]

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]

some things on the "but better" channel are good and he makes it seem as if they should go in the garbage. He doesnt even add the sauces to it too

Try their honey roasted bbq, basically cfa sauce but better

yea i dont get why he said that lol mf just be talkin

[@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

[@lookinglasslife]

This looks amazing! Can you please do the Double Smoked Bacon Breakfast Sandwich at Starbucks? I’ve been looking for a copycat recipe for the buns for years!

[@Sambroke]

It's literally just a shitty frozen egg on a shitty frozen croissant with shitty frozen bacon. Cook an egg and put it on a croissant with thick cut bacon.

[@benemery1644]

Good to see you back making your regular videos again, I missed them

[@thomasfield8543]

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.

So now I want some Chick-fil-A but it’s Sunday so I guess I’ll just have to make this recipe

[@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

[@kozobo8613]

Not gonna lie the Spicy Deluxe from Chick-fil-A is the best sandwich I've ever eaten

[@RanjputAlshemid]

I love watching these videos, I live alone in an apartment eating cheap bland foods so watching these videos helps me allot, I'd love to support your channel as it supports me but I'm broke so best I can do is watch and like your videos. Please continue making videos much love💕

[@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.

[@juls3417]

I am always making the buns! Awesome :)

[@peternickerson2911]

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

[@racpatrice]

I came back from visiting the US last week and I really did enjoy chick-fil-a. I ordered this exact sandwich. I wish I was able to try some of the other sandwiches. I loved this one...I ended up buying a chick-fil-a sauce in walmart, so I'm hoping to try out this recipe!

[@Interceptor810]

Ive been wanting to see Josh replicate their spicy chicken for a while

[@hellatras.h]

As someone who doesn’t go to fast food places regularly and doesn’t even have all of them available, I really lost track what the difference between all these chicken sandwiches are

[@zacharywong483]

Super great video here, Josh and team! That sandwich looks amazing!

[@KarlBertyn]

Whenever I make your recipes, I apply every gram to the letter and BAM, it always comes out perfect. Whenever i try other youtubers recipes, it usually fails. Maybe its me. but if thats the case, yours come out impeccably well. I dont know how you do it. but, damn man. GOOD JOB.

[@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

[@chrismcmann4093]

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

[@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.

😂😅 my son loves chick filet and I told him I could make them at home 100 times better. And then I found your channel the same night! Which was kind of weird but I appreciate this. We’re gonna try it- buns pickles and all!

[@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.

[@vincent2053]

@@miclowgunman1987What?

[@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.

[@yangg]

he said why is there no sauce? get the sauce

[@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.

[@juanpablo1502]

I was missing you Joshua , thanks for this amazing video (I didn’t see it yet but I already know)

[@calebjarvis1116]

I love chik fil a just cause it’s consistent probably the reason a lot of ppl do

[@crossan008]

Bruh… you pick whatever sauce you want 🤣

[@DarkEnv2]

I genuinely don’t know why people complain about there being no sauce on the sandwich. You put the sauce you want on it, pick from the sauces and put it on yourself. They have their chicken-fil-a sauce, not everyone likes it, they might like Polynesian, or honey mustard, or buffalo etc. by leaving it unsauced the people can do what they want.

[@YuhNinja]

Exactly...

[@elcocoloco3200]

I always use honey roasted bbq on the spicy sandwich. It’s so good!

[@thechefnextdoor]

He needs a reason to bring it down so he can do his "bUt BeTtEr"

[@merrivideo]

I didn't know about the sauces. I just ate it as it was and loved it. I usually don't like sauces because I have to ask if those have dairy in and it becomes a mess. Also, in some places they put way too much mayonnaise for my taste.

[@DarkEnv2]

@@merrivideo perfect example, which is another reason I think it’s best to leave it with no sauce. If you like it without sauce and it has one on it you have to ask to leave it off and it also slows the process down for them to prepare cause now it’s a special order, assuming they don’t screw it up. Compared to having no sauce and they simply ask if you’d like any and if so which one. It makes the process so much simpler and you don’t have to worry about people putting too much of a condiment on a sandwich or too little, you’re in control of it. To me this is a positive, not a negative.

[@bananeeek8376]

I liked your previous bun recipe, so I'll be trying this one out tomorrow! On the side note, what can I do with all those leftover egg whites?

Thank you for making this Josh. Ever since they added sesame flour to their buns I haven't been able to enjoy these with my allergies :/ Time to make them homemade!

[@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.

[@chaithu23]

8 million congratulations 🎉😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@Galaxy_018]

I need to just go ahead and make one of is bread rolls recipes. They look so good.

[@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.

[@RequiemPoete]

Fun fact, you can use olive oil to make mayo. HOWEVER, it completely changes the taste. I personally like it, but it can be too strong for some types. Definitely use a neutral flavored oil the first time you make mayo.

[@viridian4573]

Our dark and dreary, human existence is already a bitter experience. Why add to the disappointment with bitter mayo?

[@RequiemPoete]

@viridian4573 I wouldn't call it bitter, but like I said it's a personal preference.

[@beeDOPE7545]

That whip though🔥🔥🔥

[@hearthatbird]

That chick fila sandwich is the closest a fast food item ever got to what it looks like in the ad.

[@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.

[@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.

[@shakir4969]

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

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.
