The Perfect Chicken Parmesan (2 Ways)

[@JoshuaWeissman]

I love you all, to clarify…chicken parm was never Italian. It is an American dish that was inspired by Italian food. I hope you all have a great day, don’t forget to drink water today. :)

[@The-PvZ-Man]

Did not know that.

[@aspry91]

It all looks delicious, just wish I could try both of them, unfortunately spicy and crohns disease don't mix very well.

That’s why me, an Italian, will vote for the gochujang chicken parm.

I think fusion stuff is way underrated. Traditional foods are made in a certain way because it matched the environment that the people had around them. There is no reason for us to limit ourselves in the same way in this age of globalization. So bring me your new blends of ingredients and recipes historically from different cultures, as long as they are tasty.

[@michaeltucker7129]

If people always stuck to tradition, we wouldn't have any of the foods we know and love today. All cuisine is fusion, you just fight over when "tradition" starts. I find it so annoying when people talk about Italian traditional food. That's just a meaningless term.

[@justinlee810]

I agree but also, fusion is done typically very poorly. Slap soy sauce on it and it's "Asian fusion." But what Josh is doing here makes sense because he's drawing from different cuisines and using the ingredients in a way to make them shine, rather than just because. GOOD fusion is great, but what we have so far...eh, not so much. Glad Josh is mixing it up

[@Sacto1654]

You really wonder what the Japanese think when it comes to "cultural appropriation" of food. The foods really popular in Japan are adaptations of foods that originated somewhere else. Ramen, gyoza and cha-han are all adaptations of Chinese dishes using ingredients more familiar to the Japanse.

[@Galactic123]

Yeah, the best cook in the world will be like Bruce Lee. Mix all the styles and come up with the best one.

[@crabbyink9849]

@@michaeltucker7129 IIRC Chicken parm itself was based on an eggplant dish from Italy but switched to chicken when italian immigrants in the US had better access to meat

[@PaulM28]

Me and my partner made this last night and it was MAD. The sauce alone takes you on a 5-level journey of tart, garlic, sour, sweet and spice. Combined with the tomato, cheese and CRONCH on the breadcrumbs, it's a ridiculously rich but balanced experience. Tenderstem broccoli on the side and that's a perfect plate. FYI for anyone who doesn't like deep frying - get an inch of oil up to 170°C/340°F and fry for two minutes on each side, one at a time so the oil temp doesn't drop too much.

I'm just here to sing the praises of Panko's superiority over all other bread crumbs! I ran out of "Italian style" one day and had to grab the panko to save dinner and never have looked back

[@RYTF5]

I only use panko and I just add Italian seasoning to it if the recipe calls for it.

[@alessandroledda6480]

Panko is starting to catch on here in italy as well

[@thebillgonadz]

Came here to say the same. I only ever use Panko on chicken now. Parm, tendies, you name it. Panko is all we buy now.

[@alfonsopronunziato1580]

Panko is superior but also way more expensive and you need twice as much to make the same amount of breaded chicken

[@Wuggas]

@@alfonsopronunziato1580 not really from my experience. A box is under $3 where I shop and lasts at least 4 meals for 4 people. I may just be lucky I live near a Korean grocery though. I have also been using it for ages and have gotten good at judging the quantity of panko so I minimize waste.

[@ryanslauderdale]

I'd probably still do the "Italian" version, but I'd use panko breadcrumbs instead, and season them with Italian seasonings. But that's just me. I agree that panko provides a better crunch.

[@MyDoodad]

Chicken Parmesan is an American dish, not an Italian dish.

[@alnibodycare]

I've been doing that for a while and also when I make fried ravioli. I highly recommend adding panko in with italian breadcrumbs! I also use italian panko, so a combo of 3 breadcrumbs. So worth it!

[@frcShoryuken]

I started using panko instead after seeing Chef John do it on Food Wishes. It's SO good

[@ryanslauderdale]

@@MyDoodad It's inspired by an actual Italian parmigiana dish that is made with eggplant, that a member of the Family taught you how to make. Satisfied?

[@ryanslauderdale]

@@alnibodycare Yeah, that's a good idea. I think using just the panko on it's own, you don't really get the parmigiana flavor.

Yo! A while back, I made chicken tikka masala Parmesan with samosa gnocchi. The flavors were there, but it felt too rich. It would be dope to see if someone could prefect it

[@amchez97]

You can't just mention something that delicious and not share your recipes!! Can I ask in what ways it was too rich?

[@sways5155]

@@amchez97 I think for me personally the combination of the heavy cream in the sauce, the cheese and the gnocchi with fried chicken was a bit much. It was delicious, but really heavy and kind of hard to enjoy completely. The gnocchi was probably my favorite take away though As for a recipe, I didn't really do precise measurement so sorry, but hopefully these notes will be enough for now. When you're making the gnocchi, you season the potato with cumin, garam masala, and red chilli powder. you can follow any tikka masala recipe for the sauce, but you will be frying the chicken separately. You can still follow the exact recipe for the marinade for the chicken that you would get from the tikka masala recipe, but use buttermilk instead, because yogurt would make it too difficult to dredge. Then after that, it's pretty much business as usual for assembly. I can't really remember what seasonings I used for the flour, but I definitely used panko instead of traditional breadcrumbs.

[@kenfern2259]

Sometimes going non-traditional is simply better. One of my favorite comfort foods is Kapsalon, a Dutch invented fast food dish that is traditionally made with Shoarma and Fries. But there are non-traditional variants such as one that substitutes the Shoarma with Chicken and the Fries with Pasta such as Spaghetti or Penne and that combination simply works better.

[@RefuseTheFallingRain]

Dan krijg je dus gewoon een kip pasta he pik Kapsalon is patat en doner.

[@musicgirl214]

when i make my chicken parm (my sister swears mine tastes better than most resturants) I do a blend of panko, italian bread crumbs and grated parm. I also season every step of the dredging steps. I will pan fry majority of it to get that good crust then finish it in the oven and i do a cheese blend with a small layer of my homemade marinara sauce on top. i rather have extra marinara on the side for those that want more. it helps keep that breading SO crusty. the spicy version is an interesting take for sure.

[@YoRAHeem]

[@pwkim21]

I’ve been thinking of a similar recipe for so long. Glad you made my dream into reality. I was thinking of using rice flour but maybe that’s too glutinous? We use it for Korean pancakes and those get extra crispy. Also fresh Panko using shredded shokopan like Tonkatsu. Great job!

[@Troglodyte]

At this point I'm so in love with panko, the only time I use fine bread crumbs is when I'm mixing it into meatballs or meatloaf. When I want to change the profile of the cutlet, I mix different ingredients in the flour/breadcrumbs. I also use a different fry oil. Like, when making Parm, I mix salt, pepper, and Parm into the panko, and then panfry in olive oil. When making katsu, I'll add salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the flour, and panfry in a neutral oil with a couple teaspoons of sesame oil stirred in.

[@Joinen]

I'm sure others have experienced Joshua's uncanny ability to make a video on the exact topic that you've been thinking about too. I literally made a spicy korean chicken parma last week for dinner after the same thought popped in my head.

Chicken Parm could not have existed without the Colombian trade circuit and was invented in resturaunts the USA, there is no tradition to protect with its recipe.

I actually tried making a version of this a couple years back, just replacing the tomato sauce with a honey-gochujang sauce. I didn't cover the entire chicken though, just layered it on top like a normal chicken parm. It definitely seems like coating the whole cutlet is the move though, I'll have to give it another go.

one of the biggest shortcomings of traditional chicken parm is that it gets soggy when you put the sauce on it and panko will also soften when exposed to sauce. some of my favorite korean fried chicken spots use a batter that stays crunchy even when it's mixed with the sauce. maybe it'd be even better if you used a batter, too!

Dear Josh, I won’t make this too long and I hope you see it and it makes you smile, know it comes from my heart. I was just diagnosed w/ stage 3 CKD, I’ve never been a drinker or a smoker, been relatively healthy my whole life. I’ve always been a foodie and love being in the kitchen never following recipes as I should lol. I found you a few years ago and was immediately hooked. I wanted to thank you…your videos have always made me smile and they’ve inspired me to cook even more things that I’d usually do take out for. This was way before my recent diagnoses. I’ve recently enjoyed stocking my pantry with the basics and making anything I want from scratch. But let me tell you the take out series really has been saving us money, especially when it comes to the noods! Salt and noods. I’m writing you as am eating a marinated salmon, oven roasted cauliflower and instant mash that I made…so I better get a a pin or a like because I’m eating freaking instant mash! Haha it’s the only way I can have potato now since they are really bad for people with renal disease 😢They are so overly processed all the potassium gets removed 😂 I used to make fun of anyone eating instant mash..like why would you do that to yourself? And now look at me lol Anyway, Josh my friend, from a Chicagoan I just wanted to say thank you and you are an amazing chef brother! I appreciate your work. And that old chicken parm recipe can stay in the back of the Olive Gardens’ over priced, germ infested restaurant menu😂. Much love, Denise.
