  • Eric Sze, chef and owner of 886 and Wewen in New York City, is making BDSM chicken - an entire chicken that’s brined, deboned, marinated in soy milk, and then fried. This spectacle of a dish is made with a special pullet chicken, a magical Taiwanese spice blend, and a roasted chive slaw.

    I'm always been meaning to dine out solo and had the perfect opportunity to do so at WenWen. I made their earliest res slot just to try this item. HANDS. DOWN. the BEST Fried Chicken dish I've ever eaten. I eat a lot of fried chicken (fast foodFC, KoreanFC, SouthernFC, etc.) but this takes the cake. The seasoning is on point and you can definitely taste how fresh the chicken is.
    New York City needs more Taiwanese cuisine representation and Eric is helping to lead the way. Richard at Ho Foods makes a super delicious Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. The gang at Yumpling in LIC is also killing it too.

      It used to be southern fried chicken as the baseline of good chicken, then came along that south korean standard which became the new baseline. But I'm telling ya, some of the best I've tried have been Taiwanese fried chicken. For me personally, even a commercial brand like HotStar chicken is bangin'. There's this crunch yet a slight pleasant chew to its batter, its indescribable and makes you want to keep eating

    Watched another video featuring this chef and it was about the opening of WenWen and its really amazing that his philosophy on food service and actual food preparation was more or less the same. I remember him saying that they need to give it their all because their customers decided to spend their hard earned money on his restaurant. In this video he said he was meticulous with snipping the tendons to make sure the chicken came out perfect cause it'd be a waste of its life if he fucked it up. Amazing man. More power to his business and I hope I'd be able to try his food someday.

    "Snip your goddamn tendons." That's an aphorism that can be applied to many situations in life. It basically means, "Don't skip that last step after doing a lot of hard work. Not doing it can jeopardize all the previous work that's already been done." Yeah..."Snip your goddamn tendons." It's succinct and sounds cool.

    Pullets aren't a breed; they're any laying hen less before they reach laying maturity. At the point they begin laying eggs they are pol-hens, and then hens at about 1yr with consistent laying. Yellow fat comes from the cartenoid beta-carotene which is often found in a free range diet.
    I apologize for the for the farmer spiel I just don't want to see someone get confused and scammed buying chicken for big-poultry is cutthroat.
    on a brighter note; You absolutely give this bird the respect it deserves with this dish.

      $52. pretty expensive in my book, but reasonable for a once in a while thing to celebrate something. for the labor. I think it's worth the money. i just can't imagine it's three times as delicious as something you can get for a third of the price.

      ​@@clee89 I attempted to recreate the chicken. I made a few substitutions though. 1) For the chicken used, I couldn't/didn't feel like sourcing a whole chicken with head and feet, so I just used a nice quality but regular whole chicken 2) substituted red miso for the furu in the brine/marinade, 3) marinated chicken for only 1 day and let the batter rest for 3 hours instead of 5 or 6 hours, and 4) I subbed cornstarch for sweet potato starch. Besides those 4 differences, I followed everything else to the recipe and it was probably the best fried chicken I've ever had/made, so I'm sure his is definitely worth $52, which is probably just $10 shy of what I paid for all of the ingredients.

      @@user-tz9jh6pv2j It's not necessarily it being the "Chinese food is 'cheap'" angle, though that may factor slightly. It's more expected to be people seeing fried chicken as cheap, since plenty of places charge cheaper for a seemingly similar amount of food at half the price point.
      The difference is not only the freshness of the quality, but that it's a whole chicken preparation, with a really intricate battering and breading. KFC or other places have a simple 2 step, with just flour + egg dredge batter.
      This shit is *complicated*, with a small margin for substitutions, but most importantly, no margin for step skipping. If any part of this process is skipped, the whole thing is compromised. And to think they have to do that for every chicken, this is absolutely worth the $10 markup for ingredients.
