New Orleans' favorite fried chicken, behind the scenes

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

In 1971 I was 16 years old and got my first job at KFC. They sent me to “chicken school” where I became an Extra Crispy specialist! Today I’m 64 and could easily step into a KFC and whip out a 72 piece rack of Extra Crispy chicken with no problem. These people in this video are experts at making phenomenal chicken. Love them all.

[@margaretadams2631]

so they actually teach you how to batter day old fried chicken do it doesn't go to waste?

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

Margaret Adams I since I don’t know today’s practices, I can’t speak with any authority. But in 1971, at the end of business day ALL unsold chicken was thrown in the dumpster. Absolutely none was saved for any use. I used to take a bucket of chicken home, but after a few weeks my parents begged me to stop! Too much of a good thing. I worked in a few restaurants during my high school years, and I’d have to say KFC was by far the cleanest. We would go through an entire case of Comet cleanser per week scrubbing the kitchen. Cross contamination with chicken can make people very sick or even kill them, so we were extremely diligent about the kitchen and serving area. If you crossed from the cooking area (raw meat) to the serving area (cooked meat) without washing your hands, you would be fired on the spot. I kid you not.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

One franchise can ruin it. I had a KFC near me once, and the temperature wasn't right when they fried, because everything was oozing oil, buckets full.

[@jesusrodriguez1003]

Hello Mr treble, can you tell me the difference in preparation between the crispy and the secret recipe? is that true thar it's the same flour just double breading for crispy?

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

Jesus Rodriguez the original uses the secret recipe seasoned flour, while extra crispy has its own recipe flour. Extra crispy chicken is marinated for 24 hours before using, which and flavor and tenderizes the meat, original recipe doesn’t marinate because the cooking method (pressure cooking) does it. Original is double breaded, while extra crispy is triple breaded.

All purpose flour and fry.

[@sdavis435]

Love that pop eyes chicken and red beans rice rolls

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Using corn starch with seasoning for the first layer before the egg dip makes it very crispy, and sticks the batter to the chicken really well. I put some matzo meal in the last flour to give it a thicker texture and crunch. Corn flakes are great, too. Come to think of it, Popeye's must have corn flakes mixed into the batter, that explains that texture. And I'm sure they use buttermilk, which makes everything have that buttery taste. But it's just too greasy to eat. All their food is. I don't like the sides.

[@exciter2506]

I have tried a lot of fried chicken, and there are a lot of good ones , and a lot of bad ones. The best came from my Grandmother back in the 1960's. This chicken was cooked in front of us using shortening or lard, and cooked in a cast iron, deep-sided skillet, not deep fried. Chicken was different then. The chicken came out juicy, and the crust had a bottom char that made you want to scrape the skillet and eat it. Great video. Thanks

[@TheModeRed]

A deep cast iron fry has a superior characteristic! That being said, a deep-fryer and good oil is nobody's slouch.

[@ruthertagala]

how was chicken different then

[@originalkingalpha5116]

📌 Starting @11:23 Cook is dusting the chicken of excessive flour over the fryer instead of the pan. It doesn't make sense to do that. This results to adding unnecessary flour to the oil. The pan is supposed to catch the extra flour, not the fryer. This will result in flour settling at the bottom of the fryer causing the chicken to taste burned over time and also more frequent oil change. You're basically cooking in dirty oil because of the sediments at the bottom of the fryer. Memphis is in the building!🍗✌🏽💯

[@Garapetsa]

The secret to fried chicken is before you do anything, soak it in buttermilk. Then later you pat it dry. The dryer the better. Everyone has their own seasoning stuff. Soggy chicken is caused by it being too wet. The egg wash coats it. The chicken doesn't absorb it. Then flour it well until you see a wrinkle.. then put it in oil.

[@pilgrim5355]

You do not need to pat it dry. We pull it straight out the buttermilk and into the seasoned flour and it comes out juicy

[@twotwocold]

Seasoning just right and crust that melts not breaking molars. People tend to over season and not know how to flower chicken correctly. I found seasoning the flower is the best, but if you want that extra flavor inside marinade. Remember Popeye's and churches chicken comes already marinated they just use a garlic onion season batter on orginal and a black pepper cayenne pepper for spicy. Key is to have everything "COLD" that's what makes the flour stick to the chicken!!! If everything is warm room temp, then the flour will flake off in the cooking oil results ugly ass chicken looking uneven hope that helps... #CHICKENMANAGER

This is great , award winning fried chicken! one of the best - she says she cuts off the fat and "cleans it up." Marinade 24-48 hours. You aren't eating fried chicken for the health - just dig in and enjoy. Coming from someone who has actually eaten this exact chicken - it is sublime just like others in New Orleans. It's a science. That's why we can never duplicate at home - it's a combination of seasonings, oils timing, etc... They are doing it right. It's a passion down there! If you want healthy or better then go for it...

... and some don’t change their gloves.

My first job was at the Popeyes at Williams and West Esplanade in 1980. Good times and great chicken! TheDailyMeal did a review of the best fried chicken places in America. Now that there's a Gus's here, 3 of the top 4 places are in New Orleans!

To get really good fried chicken, it does not matter so much about the coating or how you do it, but the one thing accentual is to have a deep fryer.

[@reha1066]

My question is, why is he shaking the extra flour into the oil instead of over the bowl. It looks very delicious.

[@originalkingalpha5116]

I mentioned the exact same thing in my comment.🤷🏽‍♂️

[@DFusions_]

In my opinion my way of seasoning is better I only use pepper and lawry's seasoning salt it's pretty much everything they use on their chicken in one but you don't taste it the onion or garlic you only get a mildly spicy flavor

[@Nolasusan1]

Just rinse your chicken, put on a chopping board, add salt, pepper, garlic powder, put all purpose flour in a bag, shake it up, fry it (AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT STEP - FRESH CORN OIL - put it in pan when the grease is hot, then don't touch it until it crisps up and then turn it over. The secret is to NOT touch the chicken too much with a tool. I've had 63 years experience with frying chicken. I get raves from everyone who tries it. It's really simple.

[@beyondthenature]

Thanks!!

[@beyondthenature]

Nola Susan, please also tell which way is better to make fried chicken, Pressure or just simple open frying

Badgurlbeauty That overpriced, overhyped piece of shit, I should’ve stuck with my Samsung Galaxy S 7 the BEST to record video with as with that phone you can at least pause while recording to change angles and the iPhone doesn’t have the pause button/feature on it dammit. I made a $700 mistake buying this iPhone 7 plus, it’s total bullshit....

I like this fried chicken and fish set up for the street food settings in Liberia. Delicious fried chicken and fish! I'm only talking about Liberia street food, because this is mostly local food. ( the cooking area here is what I'm talking about).

That's the way Kentucky Fried Chicken used to be made

[@gohogs2277]

Leo Plotter used? How do they make it now?

[@steveballmersbaldspot2.095]

@@gohogs2277 With frozen GMO chicken, using a cheaper/faster marination technique that uses a lot of additives to enhance flavour. When I worked back in highschool it was about an hour between taking the chicken out of the freezer and frying it. That's why it tastes so bland nowadays.
