Buffalo Chicken Salad | Hit The Kitch with Molly Baz

Hit The Kitch with Molly Baz and her husband Ben Willett as they make "Benny's Famous Tender Tenders!"
In this ep, Molly is joined by her husband Ben (not a cook himself), to share with you the first recipe Ben has ever developed! Ben is the world's biggest buffalo chicken fan and this recipe is his ode to just that. It's technically a salad, but it's also definitely topped with a crispy crunchy sesame-crusted chicken cutlet that's swimming in Frank's Red Hot. It'll all make sense when you tune in for this ep, and you can find the full recipe in Molly's recipe club at: mollybaz.com

I love watching real time cooking, so big fan of this video! Also when you realized that the sour cream was spoiled somehow made me like it even more, that happens in real life and love that you left that bit in the video and then made a quick substitute.

[@daleluiza]

Is this gonna be about cooking or about marriage dynamics bc let me tell you, the latter is not it

Controlled chaos, I love it. Molly and Sohla were always my faves from the BA kitchen. Great to see Molly finally gives us some quality content and looking forward to more.

[@Hectorien]

It's only the second episode and I get that they're trying a fun and new real time cooking approach but I don't know that it fully works. It can be chaotic yet somewhat planned out ahead of time. Spoiled sour cream? A husband that didn't want to be in the video and that kept mentioning that he had somewhere more important to be? Was that intentional? I Don't know, It was off-putting. I love the kitchen, Molly, her style and overall chill vibes. More of that, plus Declan. Please bring back Declan.

[@lennacummings7624]

I agree; he’s very off putting! Lose the husband and it will be a better video!

[@allentastic]

Eh, I thought this was hilarious as a one-off

[@moorenicola6264]

I don’t know if it was a bit or a joke, but I found Ben’s personality really off putting and rude. I would never want to spend time with this kind of person, regardless of how good their chicken is.

[@alanmccoy1204]

Man…Ben was so condescending and rude to her in her own video. He made it all about him and what he had to do.

[@Tattooed_Gent]

[@andrewmundy]

"Since I'm doing a cooking video, I am now dressing the salad 😒." And this is what was edited together. I cant imagine all the microagressions that were edited out.

[@amandamartinezcarrasco403]

Is it just me that thinks that Molly is the sweetest and her husband is the grumpiest? Or at least very grumpy next to her...

[@Moodle110]

I think they have great banter, and look like they're having fun. TBH I much prefer to see how they interact vs fake American PR style. Nearly every Aussie relationship is like theirs.

[@TheJstahl95]

I am with you Amanda. He comes across as arrogant and not really having the time for this. Which, hopefully in the future means more of Molly and less…or preferably none..:of him. Molly doesn’t need anyone she can handle it all on her own she Carrie’s herself so well. And…it sounds like people in Australia need to be a little nicer to their spouses.

[@LaLaLaAllDayLong]

Wow the husband disses her less than a minute after the intro, claims the entire recipe creation and then doesn’t want to make it because he no longer remembers his own recipe?? Weird vibes he was super dismissive during the entire process. Asking her to hurry up and then being upset about hot chicken on the salad?? If he was so worried about the meeting then he shouldn’t have been part of the video.

[@MrMusicKid87]

100% agree, that guy was not the vibe, don’t want to see him on again

[@miriamlcoates]

Love molly- I appreciate trying a new format and having upbeat music and people in the shots but this was very hectic and too much for me. I don’t want to feel stress from the person cooking (the whole point is a more relaxing video IMO) so this wasn’t for me. There was so much going on I didn’t really understand the recipe and steps itself. I will keep watching, though. to see if the format changes slightly!

[@iwillinaminute]

Yes I feel the same! I got kinda dizzy cos the camera was moving so much but I love molly 😢but it’s hard to watch if you’ve got any kinda weird brain problems like me lol 😅
