Sohla's Fried Chicken Thanksgiving Is a Brilliant, Guaranteed Crowd-Pleaser | NYT Cooking

[@kongwaguk8337]

The corn syrup rant montage is peak

[@torugho]

yess 😭😭

[@keiths210]

I want the corn syrup rant as a separate unedited stand alone video. NYT Cooking, please make this happen!

[@Lisa-jm3nk]

Me too. I need to know all the knowledge she is imparting.

[@pinkmmmorphine]

i'm sitting here questioning exactly how tired i am with this fade edit appearing xD

[@emboe001]

​@@autismandy3050she looks like the mascot for corn syrup, if the mascot mistreated staff

[@firmanang9132]

i want an american bake off with claire saffitz and sohla as judge and everybody is just nice best friends helping each other bake

[@ashleys637]

They tried an American version of GBBO awhile ago. It was hosted by Paul Hollywood and Marcella Valladolid. Tldr; the two end up banging/cheating on their SOs and the show didn't work out. Shame. I'd love if it could get another try though!

[@ashleys637]

*A try as in American GBBO. Not the banging.

[@EpicFailArniek]

Have you tried The Big Brunch? It’s Sohla and Dan Levy from Schitts Creek and it’s so wholesome and nice.

[@theos943]

Yeaaah Ru Paul is the meaning of thanksgiving

[@shawnthompson940]

I adore Sohla!! ❤

[@lvly_]

sohla’s soft collab with claire through the bread is what i’m here for 🥰 also the fried chicken 🤤 🍗

[@ashleys637]

As I said in a previous comment, this is the culinary superbowl. Getting these vids is like getting a playoff game every week. As someone who loathes watching sports, this is 1000% better.

[@serenesoundscapes38]

Yes!! I’ve literally been telling everyone this is like my superbowl 😅

[@emboe001]

More like boxing the way she mistreats and yells at staff

[@TheDingledong4lyfe]

you said that in another comment?

[@blorpblorpblorp]

What is this "superbowl" you speak of? And what food have you filled it with?

[@foofoogirlz]

I love that you mentioned your house doesn't do a traditional spread for Thanksgiving. For the last several years our family has chosen a region in the world (each year is different) and make something from there from the main, sides, and desserts. Its been so fun, you learn new techniques, and you end up with food you normally wouldn't have. Once the day comes and you bring the dishes together, its impressive.

[@RedHeadAgent]

What a great idea! Thanksgiving around the world!

[@powerhousestrategy]

Us too!

[@VocalMabiMaple]

My brothers and I make a really stupid thing that we call the "bacon football". Make mashed potatoes and dice up a bunch of mushrooms. Wrap it all in bacon and bake until all the grease has penetrated the potatoes and mushrooms, with an optional catch for lost drippings below, dripping into a second tray of mashed potatoes. Serve that with milk and call it a day.

[@foofoogirlz]

@@VocalMabiMaple That sounds amazing and will be trying this out soon. Were not a sports kind of house but definitely going to call them Bacon Sportsball. 😆

[@VocalMabiMaple]

@@foofoogirlz if you do make it, my recommendation is that you take the time to weave the bacon strips together. It holds its shape better

[@artbertomedia]

The corn syrup editing deserves it's own Emmy.

[@audiomxr]

The editing on this is superb, esp the little aside with the music when she says, "i feel like corn syrup is like the msg thing." way to go, team!

[@jcampton1]

Literally salivating at all the ideas NYT Cooking has been serving us these past couple of days. Full-length, in-depth, foodie goodness! 😍

[@birdportant]

"I'm not trying to body shame the sweet potatoes" and "If you really want a party, get a bucket of lard" are going to live in my head for the rest of my life. Thank you for these gifts.

[@DodieJacobi]

😂

[@AlexandraAndStuff]

We don't have Thanksgiving in my country, but just from the intro, WOW, this is such a creative meal, and I love cooking, I just feel like making it as any cold weather dinner party. It all sounds amazing.

[@broandsisgaming553]

she makes me smile while she cooks. looks like she really enoys herself which is how things in the kitchen should be. looks delicious

[@rock2788]

please post the unedited corn syrup rant 😂

[@keiths210]

💯

[@ChrisLam]

seriously! the video is already long so just let it run!!!!

[@sarahrowe4885]

I love seeing Sohla make little mistakes like forgetting the garlic etc because it really humanizes cooking fancy meals. Sohla is a professional and can mess up but it still comes out amazing 🤩

[@robertpolzoni4057]

It's sloppy, and she's an amateur.

[@LI-pm3mh]

19:48 the corn syrup rant was hilarious

[@blorpblorpblorp]

"Too skilled to know how to teach people well" is the kind of thing that would **only** be said by someone who's wise beyond just their craft.

[@sophiedurdle2107]

I love every single “woah!”

[@garythomas9440]

Sohla is Grace and Intelligence and Skill personified…. She is a great human being!

[@emboe001]

Her PR team hard at work in the comment section trying to cover up her history of abuse

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

Omg, I wanted to make those rolls the moment I saw them. Then you mentioned it was Claire's recipe and I got EVEN MORE EXCITED because I already know how to make those!!!!

[@nancyblair6187]

Only someone as brilliant and lawless as Sohla would come up with this. It looks amazing!

[@angotchi]

40:00 Sohla making batch drinks with no recipe. We're in. Make it happen.

[@shayrc6407]

Going to start saying "Whoa" now after every time I drop some knowledge. Can't wait to try these!

[@DodieJacobi]

And the hand clap!!!

[@aliceleemd]

I really love this video. So helpful and instructive. Sohla has a really nice, friendly and way about her. She explains not just what to do, but why its being done. Thx.

[@Bo_Lew]

One for the ages! Thank you, Sohla and team!

[@MerchNerd]

Karo- please sponsor the release of Solah's entire corn syrup rant.

[@ItsHailey2468]

This whole spread is a love story to fast food AND homemade meals, and I adore it!

[@youareannoyingoogle-_-2086]

I dont normally comment on these videos but that spread was FIRE!!! Came for the fried chicken but was pleasantly amazed with everything else!!! 🙏

[@europeanguy8773]

Love Sohla's approach to food and the way she explains.

[@downrighteerie17]

I see Sohla, I click immediately and watch at least twice!

[@samgrant83]

If you like divisive nasty sorts who cover their inadequacies with racism accusations and leave a trail of destruction behind them. Yeah. I’d click twice.

[@HardHero85]

Same.

[@ankitavasudevan5515]

Her energy is contagious, I dont even eat meat but always watch her videos.

[@visualtherapydesign9937]

I’m absolutely making this whole meal!! This meal hits the visual spot because it’s everything you want without all the insanely heavy undertones of traditional holiday meals.

[@ActualChef]

I love you, Sohla. Everything you do is brilliant.

[@hehehez4691]

as someone who has been cooking since I was 3 this selection and recipes look SO GOOD! and as someone who has made fried chicken a gajillion times that crust IS AMAZING!

[@pamelajoy67]

That all looks so amazing! I really don't care for turkey, so this is a great idea. Those rolls! The cake! All of it just makes my mouth water. YUM!

[@sukimala]

sohla + fried chicken = automatic save for later 😋👏🏽 .

[@warmsteamingpile]

Every time I watch Sohla or Ham I learn something. I envy the folks in that kitchen.

[@antiviral13]

I LOVED Claim Jumper.

[@ChrisLam]

you know this is good if you've followed sohla since she talks so much about how seriously she takes thanksgiving! bookmarking all of these recipes!!!!! Also i never thought I would ever heard about Claim Jumpers again! I have such nostalgia b/c my parents would always call it CLAM jumpers and it was the cutest thing

[@harpoonmcfierce9697]

Even as someone who makes fried chicken all day for a living, Id still make this on my day off

[@ToonSciron]

I don't know how to cook all that much but I did sit down and watch Sohla prepare a whole feast for some reason. Happy I watched this through.

[@lh824]

Whenever there is butter and seasoning involved, I always mix them together and then toss with the main ingredient (IE: the sweet potatoes) - the seasoning is always more evenly distributed!

[@Connie_carolbeech]

I might not make this for Thanksgiving, but I will be doing this meal.

[@kalinkonrad1853]

I love Sohla so much! She has just a wonderful personality and makes such delicious food!!!

[@justnick_91]

I love Sohla so much! Enjoy everything she does, beautiful personality.

[@krschulman]

Such a great menu! Definitely making some of these recipes for our Thanksgiving. Thanks, Sohla!

[@griviljava]

Wonderful stuff Sohla. I was thinking up a chicken t-giving and I hearing about your version version very much!

[@lillaego]

one tip for tangzhong, i make like 7kg of this each time at the bakery and we don't whisk by hand obviously. have your flour ready aside, boil your water (really boil it), put the water in the stand mixer and instantly put the flour on top and mix it for several minutes. same result, even better actually.

[@shelbewhittenberger]

My new go to thanksgiving meal!

[@kevinpearson170]

I loved Claim Jumpers. Those potatoes were amazing!!! I make their cheese pie a lot and the pumpkin version for holidays... yum!!!

[@dreamcyclem]

“You don’t apologize, you pretend like it’s correct” 😂😂😂 Love Sohla!!

[@rhythmrecall]

I saw the thumbnail with Sohla, such a gorgeous photo!

[@anniebranziko5060]

Sohla is brilliant. It doesn't get any better than this.

[@impASHioned1]

Can’t wait to try this! Also side eying what seems like a very short maternity leave from NYT Cooking

[@GamingFoodie]

Love Sohla! This was fun to watch and I want to make this for our Thanksgiving as we haven't done a traditional one in a while.

[@KASanDiego04]

Claim Jumpers! It’s a West Coast thing and I loved the Sohla is making their potatoes.

[@unit--ns8jh]

I'm not American so I don't have any nostalgia for thanksgiving dishes, but all of this sound so amazingly tasty that I'm wondering if I shouldn't make at least some of these just to taste them 🤔

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

24:18 FYI: Texas Sheet Cake is usually not that deep. A sheet pan is usually used, hence the name. The first time I had it, I was at a family reunion for my mother’s family. At the end of a table full of foods I had never seen or heard of, before was a pan of what appeared to be brownies, with a thin frosting and chopped pecans on top. It was indeed the worst brownie I had ever had-I like them chewy/fudgey, not cakey. I learned about 30 years later what it was. Knowing what it is, it is a lovely little slice.🤗😋

[@cliftondenley379]

I love her cooking. Sohla is amazing!!!!! This recipe looks lovely.

[@CJO_o]

I'm from the West Coast (Seattle) and Claim Jumpers was a whole vibe. ❤

[@azaleabalon4525]

Miss U Sohla. Love your segments in BA

[@GailC-s5w]

Sohla, I'd eat any meal you prepared. And I'll borrow some of this for my family dinner this year. The chicken looks and sounds amazing.

[@clearlyrebecca]

I lived on the West coast as a kid and i DO REMEMBER CLAIMJUMPERS! 😂

[@helloitsnab649]

sohla’s little “woah”s kill me they’re so cute

[@Kermitthebadger]

Always excited for a Sohla video

[@pretzelsfan]

if i actually hosted and celebrated thanksgiving i would totally make this. FABULOUS idea with fried chicken

[@margaretkrantz1469]

Sohla is so adorable!

[@SophiasOasis]

Lots of great ideas. I will definitely try some 😊🧑🏾‍🍳

[@nsikanfriday1311]

Whoever selected and chopped the songs/tunes in between the takes deserves that raise! 🫡

[@carvul1]

That looks amazing! The kinda Thanksgiving dinner I would be.. thankful to have

[@TheDuckofLaw]

everything looks great! Thanks for the video, Sohla and team!

[@DodieJacobi]

Best Sohla yet! I want to make every bit of this menu. So clever. And all Joyfully wrought. O

[@julieb7785]

Looks absolutely delicious.

[@FilmsIMet]

Obsessed with her little "Whoah"s 🩷

[@AsabiG]

I love that you know Claim Jumpers!!! 😄

[@MIG106]

I am here for the corn syrup montage. Absolutely amazing lol.

[@AY-ze1fp]

OMG Claim Jumper mashed potatoes! I remember them from my childhood too!

[@powerhousestrategy]

So fun, clever, and yummy! Sohla is so charming!

[@softtacos3086]

I am legit throwing all my plans out the window and making this this year!

[@dmc-nz]

I’m going to substitute the corn syrup 😜 Seriously, it’s hard to get in the southern hemisphere and I prefer golden syrup or treacle when American recipes call for corn syrup.

[@usforonce]

This is so creative and looks delicious

[@danielqcallahan]

I am going to do a slight spin on this and making fried turkey strips rather than chicken for my Friendsgiving. I may try to come up with a cranberry dipping sauce, if I get ambitious.

[@thestalkinghead]

for the UK, the corn syrup will have to be substituted with golden syrup...... despite Sohla's well informed rant 😊

[@chefsamuelmorse2490]

That fried chicken looks amazing!

[@LForegel]

every time Sohla says woah or wow I come back to life a little

[@WendellGrayII]

Sohla is my favorite. "You can also do rounds halfs, wholes, woah! whatever you're feeling, get crazy" LOL

[@PresidentBarackbar]

As someone from southern California I appreciate the Claim Jumper representation!

[@pavelr3119]

I made the sheet cake and it was delicious! but I replaced corn syrup with honey.

[@xingcat]

Come for the alternate Thanksgiving recipes, stay for Sohla's Corn Syrup TED Talk.

[@RedHeadAgent]

Such a beautiful meal. Watching you prep all of it wore me out. I'm sure that the dinner worked out deliciously.

[@Ladybreadyourson]

I love you Sohla! I feel so oogy about all the boiling things in plastic

[@BadHairdayKimmie]

Mmmmmmm, Claim Jumper chunky mashed potatoes. I haven't been to a Claim Jumper in at least 10 years since the two near me closed. They used to be all over but now there are only three in CA and eight total in the US. I will never forget their impossibly tall 6-layer chocolate cake, the Motherlode.

[@irishfergal]

Although Sohla waxes poetic about Claiimjumper (which for almost a year I called "Clamjumper") Claimjumper is essentially a rough-around- the-edges Cheesecake Factory. Each individual entree is enough food for about four people.

[@sarahlindsay7767]

I love clam jumpers ❤😂

[@lindieriksen1968]

West Coaster here clocking in to say Claim Jumper’s is indeed real

[@sagnikdas6049]

Loved the Wows. A counter would be cool... Wow!

[@GregoryClarke-jx1pe]

Would love to hear the full corn syrup exegesis!

[@ginarivers3779]

I've made chicken using this method-- and many others but to get that crunchy Popeyes style you really need to use cornflakes.

[@kenziemckenzie-bennett5399]

Great corn syrup rant!!!

[@amiritehere]

"And she will judge you." Turns out this is something very universal ya. Good to know.

[@AlexFirst1000]

Sohla’s new favorite word: Whoa.

[@colettearmstrong1484]

She is just brilliant
