THE ULTIMATE CHICKEN BATTLE | Sorted Food

The little hugging part where they all cried together

Mike and Jamie laughing when Barry's pie was under cooked and then comforting him when they realized "Oh wait he's actually really upset" is part of what makes this channel great. Y'all's bond is very... authentic? I guess is the word. It's soothing.

[@heroesfan235]

a theme could be student meals, with a lot people moving to uni next month. getting students into the kitchen with easy and tasty recipes would be good. would save them some money instead of buying take out. could end with an ultimate battle to see who could make the best meal under a certain amount of money.

[@davidgirma6472]

Just to clarify I don't have anything against Mike and Jamie it's just their lead on the brownie leaderboard, on top of that Barry's food hell will make the studio smell like a sewer. In general the recipes were great and one way or another they made it ultimate (salt baking an entire chicken) (dipping the sandwich in a jus) (a very high skill involved recipe with crispy chicken skin)

I want to give Barry a Brownie point because he worked so hard for it. And he was obviously devastated when he found out that the pastry was not cooked. And also brownie points to Mike and Jamie because they went and hugged and comforted him after sniggering when they found out. Brownie points all around!!!!! ^_^

[@nutsglory7297]

I heard your flambe joke, Mike. No worries. 😂🐣

[@bridgetbaker2903]

In addition to the few extra minutes of blind baking, Barry's pie might have benefitted from cutting a few vents in the top pastry. The steam from the filling would have been able to escape and there would have been less risk of a soggy pastry bottom.

[@secretforreddit]

5:25 and the subsequent conversation is my favorite moment in Sorted history.

You guys should do a battle where you only have a little bit of money to make a recipe. I'm in college, and it's pretty expensive to go out and buy ingredients. I would love to see a battle with either as few ingredients as possible, or something where you have a small budget.

I also thought that Barry was going to be the winner because that pie was gorgeous. The idea was also great. So so sorry that the pastry wasn't all the way cooked.

[@Nematichan]

After seeing those reactions I knew I had to make that salt bae'd chicken. So last night I tried it and it really was great, juicy chicken. Success! (Tip: cover the baking tray with foil, because getting the crust off was a lot of work, even after a night of soaking.) However, when comparing work/result/costs with my standard method of making baked chicken, it loses, so I probably won't make it again. In case anyone is curious, my usual way of preparing chicken is by coating big chicken legs with some beaten egg, generously sprinkle them with chicken spices, bake on a rack at 180C for 45 min, coat them with egg again and bake for 15 min more. Delicious crispy chicken.

[@magdalene74]

so make it, seems easy enough, then you'll know. I know thats next on MY list to make...

[@Mugthraka]

Salt baked is an ancient kind of preserving method, when salt wasn't really used as a seasoning but more for preserving foods for long periods of times. Then when the time was right, the thing would be put whole in an oven, the Salt hardens with the heat, making a hard shell, where the moisture and flavors of the meat, can't escape during the cooking process, returning/staying in the meat. Making it really savory and making sure that the meat is tender, of course when used with white meat like chicken, it looks strange becasue the meat doesn't get any colour, but the flavors are what you're looking for. Thats also a reason why when you use this method with red meat, you first gives the meat a quick sear in the pan to give it color, then cover it in salt and cook it.

[@Ryarios]

It sounds wonderful. I've never seen them do that to chicken, but I have seen them use rock salt like that with prime rib.

[@weeksweeks9552]

Its a chinese cooking method but i think it is getting less common. I can still find old timers selling salt baked chicken in night markets in my country. It basically taste like putting too much salt in your chicken, usually eaten with rice like a chinese dinner
