[@kellymartin3003]

Great job! Please make sure you check us out when you come to Memphis! My father was impressed with your "copycat version". Be sure to ask for him when you come... can't give you the recipe but we can give you a sample of the REAL THING!!

[@aisthpaoitht]

[@aisthpaoitht]

BigMeat Sunday continues to be based! You're the man!

[@neurocosm]

Duude, @6:01 CRUNCH! That sounded way insane. The spice combination sounded delectable.

[@BigMeatSunday]

man this was awesome, do it, do it now ! ! !

[@ryanraze]

The Arnold reference is a big win. Subbing now

[@rauda3070]

just watched a video from 3 years ago and had to know if you still uploaded and yes! I was happy to know that my discovering of this Chanel was good indeed

[@BigMeatSunday]

thanks! I hope you saw an improvement :-) I try to learn something new everyday

[@rauda3070]

Yes I did The recording and angle shoots were improved, also the labeling of the ingredients was great.

[@MassEffectFan113]

"I'm more into the thighs and legs... for chickens." LOL!

[@BigMeatSunday]

gotta call it how it is man !

[@SquashBlossom62]

I LOL when you clarified that you were talking specifically about the chicken. 😆

[@TheSquishyMonster]

I'll be your drumstick taste tester too! These look fantastic, John!

[@Amylynnskitchen]

Please pass me a drumstick John... that looks amazing! I need to give this one a try sometime. Great combination of flavors. Hope all is well your way. Wishing you a blessed weekend...

[@aisthpaoitht]

God bless you!

[@BBQGuys]

That looks on point!

[@BigMeatSunday]

thanks Tony!

[@TROYCOOKS]

I'm a thigh & leg man myself John! LOL That looked like buffalo wings on steroids brother!!! That had to be good. I like that crunch as you bit into that thigh! Good stuff bro! Cheers to ya!!!!!

[@BigMeatSunday]

awe man, this was awesome, and way better than any wing sauce you ever had ....ever ! :-)

[@elrabbitstacticalreviewsl3737]

Awesome Idea!! Gumbo! You did a fine job on the yard bird brother John!

[@BigMeatSunday]

right ??/??? this was awesome manny ! you need to do it !

[@Eng.mohammad]

Keep the good work , I just found your channel and I can't stop watching, and I'm going try one of recipes today

[@ashleycalderon2223]

Let me tell you somethin... I lived in Memphis for 20+ years.. Uncle Lou's chicken is FIIIIIIIIRRRRREEEE!!!! and you can NOT eat it without the spicy sweet sauce, his corn nuggets will make you smack you friend, family and strangers the like if they try to touch it.. You have to go to Memphis and eat it in person...

[@TessCooks4u]

This I will have to try! I love all the spices and flavors. The cinnamon is interesting but I sometimes put cinnamon in chili, so, why not?! Awesome recipe. Enjoyed. :)

[@BigMeatSunday]

I was impressed, it really was fantastic

[@jellyalvaro9052]

John, I really like your videos, but could you write down the ingredients and leave it in the description? That would be really helpful. And keep sticking around with these awesome videos! Love to watch them

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

I'm going to give it a try.

[@BigMeatSunday]

heck yea Ray! tell me how you like it !

[@JaredLentz]

Loved when you specified "for chicken" when you said how you prefer legs and thighs

[@BigMeatSunday]

well, yea ! don't want to give anyone a wrong impression !

[@JaredLentz]

BigMeat Sunday haha understandable, love the videos never stop cooking!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Sweet Heat! Love it!!! Great looking chicken brother. I'll bet that crispy skin tasted insane!

[@BigMeatSunday]

Skin is the best man ! some people just don't get it !

[@eldoradonai]

I tried it and it was very delicious. Thanks for sharing

[@scarecrow1701]

Looks and sounds uber guud Big John! Like the fact the chicken isn't over dredged or heavily battered...the crispy skin is the the best part! (except for the other parts, as they must work together, doncha know.) Really good fried chicken is hard to come by, but damn hard to beat! It means something to me that you said the dish wasn't a gazillion Scovilles, and that's "low" praise from you, if you get my meaning ;) Some like it hotter than others, and I know you can take take it where I would sob like a child. ;) Believe I'd like this version better than the Nashville hot style, you can't beat sweet heat, if it's balanced - ok I'm a wimp! Already thinking of a grilled variation, using a Corruption style blend as a basis for a rub (including the cinnamon, a very versatile spice) , and I think that sauce would make a killer finishing glaze!

[@BigMeatSunday]

the sauce is pretty vicious our of the box but you can use your own hot sauce flavorings and formulas i think... its the spices that are included that are key... especially the honey and its ratio to the hot stuff! this is totally do able! you can add more stock as well in the sauce to cool it. honestly the sauce after it was cooled and placed on the chicken was way more mellow than on its own and hot.

[@maryjohnson5516]

Stick aarooooouuunnnddd! Looks good

[@BigMeatSunday]

thanks

[@TheRonnette4]

I am making this for Labor Day weekend 🙌!! Thank You..

[@BigMeatSunday]

bring a fire extinguisher :-) no , its not that hot, and you can leave out the cayenne if you dont want it too hot.... I thnk you can use prolly any hot sauce that is like crystal or rooster as well.. please tell me how you liked it !!!

[@sambezious]

The crunch of that chicken sounded awesome, John! Great job. I'll have to figure out how to make it low carb. ~Sam

[@BigMeatSunday]

you are joking , right ? there is so little flour in this, most is a carrier for the moisture that pull s out of the meat , this (by weight) is a super low carb meal. ! you just need to go for it !

[@sambezious]

LOL I wish I was. My daughter can't have gluten at all, so no flour. BUT, I got this. I have an idea. Take care, John! ~Sam

[@twistdmojo]

I've had Uncle Lou's it's the bomb! I'm definitely going to try this recipe!

[@papasplace2]

Yowwwwzer Man that looks and sounds amazing! Love that crunch. Yummylicious

[@BigMeatSunday]

soooo gooooood !

[@ammohead73]

Iv'e never met a fried chicken I didn't like LOL...Yumm!!!!!

[@getoutandgrill]

Damn that is an awesome recipe. Great job John.

[@BigMeatSunday]

Well thanks, I stole it my self :-) wait not, this is an "official copycat" recipe... yea that's the ticket !

[@tangojoe9694]

I have never heard of Uncle Lou's, but sure looks like he has some nice chicken. Great rendition John.

[@BigMeatSunday]

I hadn't either, but Ill tell ya what Joe, that chicken was awesome !

[@obxsouth12]

Great job on the Lou's....Chicken with attitude! :) Thanks for posting

[@BigMeatSunday]

Im really happy I made this, I loved it ! thanks for watching !

[@BabyBackManiac]

"thighs and legs...for chicken." Thanks for clarifying that. lol.

[@BigMeatSunday]

got to be specific you know.. keep people informed :-P

[@BabyBackManiac]

lol

[@tomstestkitchen]

That does look good John, much less insane than other Nashville Hot chicken recipes.

[@BigMeatSunday]

On a spicy level they are about the same, but you can tweak it to your liking. thanks for watching TJ

[@DiscipleGames]

Written recipe so I can try to recreate this (obsessed with it at Playground/Detention in DTSA): Sauce: 2 Tbsp. Paprika 2 Tbsp. Chili powder 2 Tbsp. Garlic powder 1 Tbsp. Onion powder 1 Tbsp. Hickory smoked salt (or, salt and liquid hickory smoke) 1 Tbsp. Celery salt 1 Tbsp. Lemon pepper 1 Tbsp. Cayenne pepper (optional, for spice) 1 Tbsp. Sugar 3/4 Cup Louisiana Cajun hot sauce 1/2 Cup Red wine vinegar (or 1/4 Cup Vinegar and 1/4 Cup Chicken stock to dilute the vinegar) Whisk wet and dry ingredients, heat on stove to rolling boil then remove from heat Add 2/3 Cup honey Dredge: 3 Cups flour 1/4 Cup Pepper 2 Tbsp. Salt 2 Tbsp. Onion powder 2 Tbsp. Garlic powder 1 Tsp. Cinnamon Dredge chicken thighs and legs (skin on) and fry at 370 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

[@DiscipleGames]

Okay, one big mistake I made while trying this: in the video, I missed that he only adds "a few tablespoons" of the Corruption spices to the liquids. Do NOT add the full amount lmao. I don't love that everything was measured out but the most important combination became "a few tablespoons" but I would add it a bit at a time to try and get the color in the video without any grainy-ness. I ended up using a full cup of red wine vinegar, if you guys have ever had Detention's Uncle Lou's then you taste vinegar for a week afterward. Still playing around with it

[@kingtracker184]

try this recipe and love it.....thanks

[@LindasPantry]

Awesome recipe!!! Bouya! :)

[@BigMeatSunday]

thanks Linda !

[@toypocalypsenow]

That's great looking chicken.

[@GrillingNetwork]

OMG!! Now looks #Phenomenal and I am sure it tasted great!!! Great Job!!

[@BigMeatSunday]

you need to try this man !

[@braddaquila2689]

I've watched uncle Lou's video several times I think you pretty much nailed it, looks like he added a bit more black pepper to the dredge, guy f. was making fun of the pepper as they mixed it.

[@scarmenl]

Ha! This coming Sunday, I'm doing Bear ribs on a big green egg. Should be great!

[@BigMeatSunday]

Ill have to see that ! never tried bear... thanks for watching.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Looks great, thanks gumbo

[@BigMeatSunday]

yea that's what I said too! :-)

[@TomsBBQPitstop]

That Chicken looks Awesome!

[@BBQCulture]

Looks very nice! 👍

[@TheWolfePit]

I love the cinnamon AND sugar in the flour! The finished chicken even before being sauced looked killer, after sauced looked suicidal! LOL I wanna try this! I'd almost call that million dollar chicken, cause it definitely looks like a million bucks!

[@BigMeatSunday]

I corrected... the sugar was salt :-) sugar might be OK though... this was really good Larry, hope you try it out !

[@TheWolfePit]

That's right, dammit I'm an idiot sometimes! The sugar may have given it a darker finish, the finished color was perfect!

[@BigMeatSunday]

yea, thats what I was thinking about the sugar too ! Keep on being awesome Larry!

[@ontarioman100]

WOW that looks so good will give it a try!

[@BigMeatSunday]

let me know how it works out please ! cheers brother, hope you try it !

[@ontarioman100]

ok will do just got my new samsung 32 inch curved monitor hooked up wow its huge LOL

[@BigMeatSunday]

nice !

[@BurgersYum]

That is some great looking chicken!

[@BigMeatSunday]

Oh man it was good !

[@michaellmikeyymike]

that looks awesome

[@wesjackson71]

He uses cinnamon too. Just saw DD&D

[@vwgti303]

Going to give this a shot. I think I may reduce the sauce down so it's just a hair thicker than yours. I may even try it as a glaze for grilled or smoked chicken. Hmmmmm.......

[@SmokedReb]

looks great John!

[@BigMeatSunday]

thanks man !

[@ramsiffle]

Just curious, why do I never see you use that giant board that you always prep on? I feel like it would be easier to use the counter to prep and use the board for a cutting board instead of putting another board on top of it... Love your videos, keep up the good work man!

[@BigMeatSunday]

two reasons, ( and its not that I don't use it) watching some one cut up anything for more than 1 second is pretty boring to watch, so I don't usually show food prep. second, I never cut meat on it as it weighs just about 45 lbs and is much larger than my sink and is a royal pain in the ass to wash and disinfect. as another use, it acts as raiser for the food so you can see better what I am doing (this is because of limited camera angels I have to work with.thanks for watching !

[@ramsiffle]

Thanks for responding! It makes much more sense now, your counter does seem somewhat low compared to your height. I knew the thing was heavy but didn't know it weighed as much as a barbell! haha

[@BigMeatSunday]

Sam Riffle yea its a beast!

[@vborg001]

Looks great!!

[@BigMeatSunday]

thanks

[@SigShooter9mm]

Mmm, well done, Sir.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

That looks pretty good! I'm going to try no egg wash next time I fry something.

[@BigMeatSunday]

cant vouch for everything, but chicken works!

[@MyREDTAIL]

I like to use Apple Cider vinegar instead of the wine type etc

[@sdega315]

Love that sauce! Can't wait to try it out. I'm a beekeeper, so I always have lots of honey on hand.

[@BigMeatSunday]

well thats handy! thanks for watching !

[@tayshawatson5186]

I made this and didn't like it that much. the sauce is SO DAMN HOT! I thought I needed to call the fire dept. the chicken tasted plain without the sauce. but the good news is my 12-year old grandson loved it.

[@BigMeatSunday]

Sorry to hear you didnt like it, but on the other hand Im happy that the lil man did !

[@SeeNyuOG]

HOLY, this shit sounds cracy crunchy!

[@BigMeatSunday]

and it was as well!

[@tfarooq]

Do you reckon I could add liquid hickory smoke directly to the sauce? I can't seem to find smoke salt where I live.

[@ebooty84]

Yes Uncle Lou's is Delicious. It's in the Whitehaven area of Memphis.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@chophappy]

Yes yes yes! Fried chicken is my fave!

[@BigMeatSunday]

its the bomb!

[@JohnSolar283]

Good Stuff !

[@wyattoneable]

Nashville isn't that far from me now so I need to go hang around and find some restaurants. Maybe I can find this being served and get burned!

[@BigMeatSunday]

Well this is a memphis thing brother ! But you can try the Nashville hot chicken too ! Here is that recipe ( I thought you saw it) kzbin.info/www/bejne/enjTgaV_jqaEgcU Go get you some !

[@wyattoneable]

[@BigMeatSunday]

[@MrJosh255]

Hey, dad.

[@avstryker]

You stole the opportunity to have the Germ Nazi's Crusade.... should have double dipped that tasting spoon. You just left it hovering forever ... LOL!!

[@BigMeatSunday]

well I should have spit in the spoon and turned it over in tot he sauce ! LOL cheers man !

[@the54thfloor47]

I only use chicken breasts so 12-15 mins. Depeanding on the size?

[@PopsQuest]

Cinnamon threw me for a curve but I bet that is killer!!

[@BigMeatSunday]

Its a hint of the flavor, and a perfect addition, it really worked well!

[@MyREDTAIL]

Why can't you list the Recipes ingredients much easy to copy down thanks

[@Eman101que]

He put the corruption season on after he dip the chicken.

[@Fusion02021]

[@BigMeatSunday]

[@the54thfloor47]

[@Kimmie0323]

Uncle Lou's,sounds like Memphis to me.

[@BigMeatSunday]

The very One. thanks

[@lowlypeasant]

What kind of oil?

[@BigMeatSunday]

Vegetable Oil is what I am using per the research I did. good question, thanks for watching.

[@rchopp]

Looks tasty, but when you picked up the chicken I did see your fingernails start to melt..lol

[@BigMeatSunday]

LOL that's funny brother ! Cheers buddy!

[@WhosHarryCrumb]
