Sam is THE ONLY chef who'll admit if something like McDonald's is good and not be indenial about it. Unlike some other chefs.. just prove why he's the GOAT of all the Chefs on UA-cam, super down to earth lad
right, Mcds has been around for years nearly everyone has been to one and has gone back many times... but yeah it all sucks... it is what is and generally never tries to be anything else.
He's always catered to stoners though. His channel is mainly food entertainment. Not recipes the average viewer is going to attempt. Unlike Brian Lagerstrom or Kenji. Nothing wrong with that it's just not easy to compare them.
I didn't even know Sam had a UA-cam channel. I grew up watching him on my local community broadcast at like 6 or 7am before I had to go to school. He made me want to try all kinds of different foods! Looking forward to continuing my cooking Journey with Sam!
One of my favorite takeaways from Sam's vids that I use quite often are his different sauces. A lot of them have so many applications. I end up making some containers just to use throughout the week lol.
I'm curious, how do you decide when to use flour and corn starch, when to use baking powder and baking soda, when to make a batter like this, when to use eggs.. In general, could you do a tutorial on frying stuff, perhaps chicken in particular, but a chicken fried steak wouldn't be amiss.
Haven’t had McDonalds or any fast food in about three years. These look fantastic. I keep saying I’m going to make them, I will now. Love all 4 of the sauces.
My husband and I are big fans! We started watching your show about 5 months ago. I broke my Ankle 4 weeks ago so I have binge watched your show for the last month. You guys are awesome and so fun to watch! Keep up the laughs and the delicious recipes. We made your Salisbury steak recipe...YUMMMMMY! THANK YOU! Your friends from Florida
Question kind sir... What if you took it next level and used Seltzer water... Instead of tap water? Should make nice air pockets to level up the crunch...
My family loves your sauces. Ever since we saw you make ranch dressing (several years ago) we never went back to store bought. I just made all 3 of these for tenders and they were excellent. Thank you!
THIS! is why I cook most all our meals at home! thank you for this. my granddaughter and i will be making these soon. and yes i am teaching my granddaughter to cook.
No. It didn't taste like McDonald's, but it was good enough that we didn't need sauce. I liked it with mostly regular paprika with a little smoked paprika and a little less onions and garlic. My family and friends loved it.
I love how you're nothing like the other cooks on UA-cam that feel it necessary to just bash the name brand product that they're trying to emulate just to make themselves feel better about what they put out. You actually praised the McNugget and then made your version. Classy and that's why I solely rely on your recipes and experiments now!
There are actual names for the four (if I recall correctly from 30 years ago as a manager) shapes. I am sure it is on the internet someplace but I remember one is “The Boot”.
Thank you for this!! I usually make chicken tenders with knock off Long John Silver batter; they are delicious. I never thought about homemade nuggies. They turned out great, so much more filling than my fav McD's nuggies. We now have a baggie of nuggies in the freezer for a very easy and quick meal. We really enjoy your channel, keep up the good work!
@@Virtuenow I am sure I found the LJS batter on UA-cam. 3/4 cup AP flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/4 tsp each of baking soda, baking powder, salt. Mix in about 3/4 cup of water.
@Kristie Parker oh I see. I was hoping for a quicker alternative. One that I could take out of freezer, and pop into the toaster oven and it's done fast; for the kids on days after school. I wonder if I can fry, cool completely then freeze them? Thanks anyway
I bet a lot of the comments are on the yummy factor of the food or the banter. And well deserved. But the production quality of the videos is a maz ing. And it’s consistently amazing. Well done boys with all the work that goes into the amazing videos.
I cooked Sam's spice bag for the second time this week. After eating the recipe twice I totally believe the crunch is honest and this chicken looks as if it might be twice as crispy as the salted chilli chicken. I might have to combine the two and test just how awesome it might be 😎
I might have processed the chicken too much so next time, I'll make the pulses a bit shorter. That said, this was really good! I added panko to the mixture and that added a bit of extra crunch. Sam, it is YOUR FAULT 😄 that I've started using my air fryer, my Instant Pot and getting into the kitchen and making something! I'm a member of Les Marmitons International, a men's cooking group, and combined with that group and your tutorials...I"m in the kitchen! Thanks
I just made some boneless thighs tenders the other day. My dry flour mix is almost the sane as yours, except I used roasted garlic powder. Then I drag them through and egg and worchester wash and coat with seasoned bread crumbs. Shallow fried in extra light virgin olive oil.
4 classic nuggie shapes I think. I used to love that plain orange drink, not the bubble drink they have now. That old school orange was the bomb. Good ol Ronnie used to have some great stuff. Them grimmice cookies as a kiddoe was one of my highlights. And that hamburgler.
I’ve tried these a couple ways in a similar way, 85/15 split white to dark meat.. Add white pepper and msg while blending the chicken made a huge difference in flavor, thanks for sharing!! Amazing video as always
I pre-ground and shaped my nuggets and put them in the freezer and then the next day (yesterday) I dredged and battered and they were sooo good! Gonna be a staple in the house for sure. So easy, thanks Sam!
Do you think frying then cooling then freezing would work? To make a batch for quick lunch after kids come from school? I wad hoping to just take out and put in toaster oven like I do with the kinds I buy.
@@manehbag732 I haven’t tried that, but I think it would work! I bet they’d be even crispier if you did it that way, because you could kinda gauge the crispiness as they toast
Lee Kum Kee Sauce For Lemon Chicken is awesome too on chicken nuggets. But here in the Netherlands there is a brand of sauces (Yildriz) that make BBQ sauce that tastes as it is the Mc Donalds version, that is great too
Originally the roundish ones were white meat and the bent nuggets were dark meat and you could actually ask for the ones you preferred. But that was 35 years ago when I was a tiny kid working his 1st job at McDonald's.
Need your help Sam. I'm trying to figure out how to make a small ( think golf ball) sized mozzarella stuffed meatball and that's then battered and deep fried. I have an idea how to do it but I would love any thoughts on this. Thanks, and I have amazed a lot of people with your recipes. Awesome channel.

most of them can admit it. you only know this one. Guy could'nt make better tnuggets than mcdonalds despite spending $ and time
@@mikeh4613 eh, I made a better MCchicken at home that blindfolded wouldn’t be able to tell a difference
but maybe some just dont like mcdonalds we dunno

One thing I’ve learned is to never watch Sam The Cooking Guy………. On an empty stomach 😂😂😂

Or you could could do your own research and learn something new everyday.
@@nickman0303Not all of us have time to sit and comment dumbshit all day. My man nick does👍
@jaredw540 suggesting to someone to learn something for themselves, is dumb. OK bud.
There are four shapes of Chicken McNuggets. They are known as the Bell, the Ball, the Boot, and the Bow Tie.
Bone, not Bow Tie, but I can see how it could be seen as the other as well.
I always love seeing the senator from Metal Gear cooking.
I worked at mcdonalds for a few years & one of the nugget presets is 1000% a mini USA lol.
Sam, you're so dang likeable. Thanks for these great recipes in a fun to view format. Don't ever change!
he's a pothead. you ever meet an unchill pothead? nope! lmao

I'll definitely be doing this it's so simple and will be a welcome addition to my arsenal of recipes. These will be fantastic for parties I feel.
Looks good, pretty sure McDonalds just uses Tempura batter :)
The conversion of spiced dredge to batter was a stroke of genius, Sammy. Great work as always 👍
That's pretty common nowadays.
That's basic cooking knowledge
In the Uk they had a sweet curry sauce i wish they had here. It was the best ever.
Looks great and just wondering why all the seasoning went in the batter and not any in the chicken when blended.
It's a simple flavor.
I tried this chicken nugget recipe today and they turned out great.
Did it taste like McDonald’s?
No. It didn't taste like McDonald's, but it was good enough that we didn't need sauce. I liked it with mostly regular paprika with a little smoked paprika and a little less onions and garlic. My family and friends loved it.
@@kjwis7576 thanks!
One of our favorites too but learning to make them at home is awesome . Thank you
1:52 dude really said McNuggets are "rustic" ;))
Happy Friday
Ahhhh... chili prawn crunch. I was in heaven when I found that condiment.
I made 50 of these just now. They’re perfect!!! Thank you Sam & crew :)
I love how you're nothing like the other cooks on UA-cam that feel it necessary to just bash the name brand product that they're trying to emulate just to make themselves feel better about what they put out. You actually praised the McNugget and then made your version. Classy and that's why I solely rely on your recipes and experiments now!
You should have also made a McSam's version of the nuggets with dark meat and spices.
2 TB mayo, 2 TB sour cream and 1/2 a ts of spicy chili oil is an amazing dipping sauce for some nugs
There are actual names for the four (if I recall correctly from 30 years ago as a manager) shapes. I am sure it is on the internet someplace but I remember one is “The Boot”.

So you fully cook and fry them, then cool them down and freeze for later use?
Where do you get Long John’s batter?
@@manehbag732 I have the raw frozen in a baggie, just take out the amount you want and then flour and fry.

Loved this one. Nugget looked a little spongy .. was it?
It's the only dry mustard worth buying!
AMAZING…. MUST TRY 😇👍🏾👏🏽
OF COURSE I WOULD SEASON THE RAW CHCKEN MIX BEFORE SHAPING.
GREAT JOB MAN 👌🏾👏🏽❤️

I love how proud Sam looked at 8:58 about his segway to the webshop. :D
good lookin' nuggets; i'll make them but i'll shape a little 'handle on the patties like McDons. Dips look yummy, ty Sam.
I LOVE that cutting board! I would love to order a personalized board from them!
Awesome work, gentlemen. I could tell that that crunch wasn't fake. That is what cooking food yourself sounds like.

Absolutely love the channel. So much great food. Fact that i’ll probably live 5 years less due to a heartattack is just fine by me!
I can always count on STCG to give me sound life advice- don't eat poop! Love the channel. Thanks for taking time to create these videos!
I gotta make these,love nuggets but stopped eating McDonalds for a long time.these look great
Sam, I love you. That makes so much sense! Make many and put them in the freezer 🤦🏻♀️🙌🏼🙌🏼
Get the family together, made these and use all the hottest sauces in the fridge. Like first we feast. We have a blast.
Nice little recipe. Could freeze them also I guess for a quick lazy launch to be eaten later.
Watching Sam eating and enjoying his creation makes me even more hungry! Everytime!! :D
Chicken nuggets are my favorite menu from McDonald's. Sam, keep doing your thing!😂
If we freeze them for later use should we thaw it first or fry them frozen as is?
Originally McDonald's had dark meat nuggets. I think they went out in the mid 90's.
So?
I would definitely take these over McDonald’s any day! 😋 These look yummy!
Would it be okay to season the chicken with what we season the flour before forming as well, or would that be too much??
Why didn't you season the chicken?
This is awesome. I need to try this one!!!!
We love watching your videos!!
I really gotta stop watching these videos in the middle of the night. God, I'm hungry now.
Those chicken nuggets looks super delicious Sam!😋😋
I just had a taste for McDonalds's nuggets yesterday. I'm definitely making these along with the sweet & sour sauce.
The habanero honey would be awesome. 😋. I'm so doing that.
Absolutely trying this! :)
I just made some boneless thighs tenders the other day. My dry flour mix is almost the sane as yours, except I used roasted garlic powder.
Then I drag them through and egg and worchester wash and coat with seasoned bread crumbs.
Shallow fried in extra light virgin olive oil.
“It’s everything I dreamt it would be” lol
Can i add that i liked the slow-mo when he was adding the mustard😂
I realize this is Not a cooking channel. It's a entertainment channel. So just go to McDonalds and save 10x the cost of just the ingredients.
My daughter is gonna love making these with me 😃
Nuggies. Love a good nuggie. Used to honey bbq dip them by the 2 dozen. And with fries and a sundae.
4 classic nuggie shapes I think. I used to love that plain orange drink, not the bubble drink they have now. That old school orange was the bomb. Good ol Ronnie used to have some great stuff. Them grimmice cookies as a kiddoe was one of my highlights. And that hamburgler.
I thought you'd be using that bacon floss breading on a remake but stuck to the og. Nice.
The bacon ranch mccrispy has been my favorite thing at McDonald’s in a long time. Always super crispy which is surprising for a fast food place
Free million dollar idea, a nugget scooper/ ala ice cream scooper to simply scoop and shape
I believe there are 4 different nug shapes with the boot being the favourite.
definitely gonna try these
McDs used to have a hot mustard dipping sauce
@user-kd5vo3ke7j why?
They still do!
Looks fun. gonna do it. Thanks for not faking. Anything. "don't eat shit, period" LMAO.
The nuggets are not random - McDonald's chicken nuggets come in four shapes: the bell, the ball, the boot, and the bow tie.
Can you please find out if you can make them with keto friendly flour and with an air fryer? If so can you make a video on it
Just for a moment I thought you were going to do the Sichuan sauce like Rick and Morty lol
Before watching i am excited to watch this ( subbed ) i hope it's kind of easy.
Absolutely Amazing 😊 Thank You So Much. Delicious Cheers 🥂
Trick...use sparkling water to make the batter. Dunk the nuggets in before all the fizz disappears. You'll like the difference!
Wow when he said everything he dreamed of I knew it was true so delicious im makin them!!!
that buy or make question at the beginning, I agree on making them...as an employee, and eating them...while the boss ain't looking.
I just bought mc nuggets and then seen your video and was like no way are you doing nuggets right now 😂
I like Ur batter better bc U can see the spices. Great job and I'm going 2 use Ur hot mustard sauce udea. Thanks Fellas

Swanson's Fried Chicken Hungry Man T.V. diner tastes very close to McNuggets, when fried in oil.
@@OkayBoomer-o9f...and they are gawd awful when microwaved. The picture on the Swanson box looked so good. I was so disappointed when I tried them 🤮
Love the explanation on how to make some great chicken nuggets. I guess for me, chicken tenders is the way I usually go 😎
Awesome!!
Aren't McDonald's nuggets made out of a pink oozy slimy goo like substance?
When he said, don’t eat the same shit every day that sent me I felt it in my soul😅
IDK why, but that bang bang sauce looks delicious!!!! I can just grab a spoon and eat it
@SAM THE COOKING GUY I made these and they are bloody amazing and so easy to make! No more McDs for me 😂😂
According to the interwebs, Mcnuggets come in 4 different official shapes, the bone, the bell, the ball, and the boot. 😆
Don't forget to add wood pulp, seaweed, and soy.
haha i seen that report
Thanks again, now I'm craving chk nuggets.. suppose I'll make them myself!] Now I can Lads! 😊
Nice f*****g job Sam, as always. As you were blending the chicken, I was wondering if that wouldn’t be a good time to add some seasoning as well?
after watching, i think it's doable. thumbs up
I pre-ground and shaped my nuggets and put them in the freezer and then the next day (yesterday) I dredged and battered and they were sooo good! Gonna be a staple in the house for sure. So easy, thanks Sam!

Sam can you show a recipe for a traditional yumyum sauce that you get at japanese grills?
“Don’t eat the same shit all the time…well,don’t eat shit period, but don’t eat the same thing all the time” 😂 put that on a STCG T-Shirt or apron
One step further, flour it freeze it batter one half freeze it batter the other freeze it home made fresh nuggets
