I love soy sauce and chicken combo, so I tried to boil chicken and soy sauce and since soy and coca cola has the same color why not try that also? The results are in and I did not expect this.

Boiled it *in coca-cola, not "on"
Guga I am looking forward to the Jerk Sauce, BbQ sauce, Salsa steak experiment to rival the ketchup, mustard mayo one. Suggested side dish would be chili garlic plantains
Do more experiments with the giant flintstones steak
The ingredients are not in the description guga
I would love to see an experiment tournament. Head to head dishes until one is crowned ultimate experiment dish.
Considering a 2 liter of coke costs less than a small bottle of soy sauce, I imagine the soy sauce chicken costed significantly more to make. So as a budget option that coke chicken might not be crazy.
You might even boil down the coke to a little bit of a thicker consistency, so the flavor is more concentrated. Maybe that solves the "not so flavorful"-problem
Tbh at that rate just cook chicken adobo lol
Lmfqoooo this is so funny my mom makes coke chicken also with cidral which is like Mexican apple coke
@@elangelgrifo1300I wonder how tamarind Jorritos would go on chicken or even the Mandarin flavor.
Good quality soy-only soy sauce is even more expensive. Even fake soy sauce made from hydrolyzed protein and caramel color and salt isn’t all that cheap!
I like how he explained the reason behind why he used coke and soy sauce was the color 🤣
Ya i was going to comment same
How's that funny
"Emotional damage"
@@tongla9447 🤣🤣
@@FroggyHopScotch30 my sense of humor must be broken
I used to work at a BBQ place that marinated the chicken in a mixture of coke and dr.pepper along with orange juice and some seasonings and then smoked. It was actually the best chicken I've had from a BBQ place. Obviously boiling chicken in soda is very different.
In the Philippines we add Sprite or 7-Up in our bbq. I’ll add the orange juice. Sounds good.
I must say it is a bit weird to see what was basically a struggle food for me growing up becoming a side dish next to chicken boiled in Coca-cola
The turns life takes.
why not use freaking water?
@@nickkorkodylas5005 they were talking about the egg dish.
They said it's inexpensive. Also that's just eggs.
lots of struggle foods are derivatives of side dishes, which is already a downgrade from main dishes.
There's actually a Cantonese dish of coca cola chicken, but it's usually just braised wings and you reduce the coca cola mix until it becomes a thick gravy
yeah I've had that before and you literally can't tell that the remaining gravy is cola, it's just chicken with sweet sauce. It was nice.
@@omgwtfbbqxD Yea it is like a super sweet BBQ sauce (I always add a bit of crushed ginger, garlic, spring onion and some light soy at the end of the reduction)
That sounds SO MUCH BETTER
My uncle makes it from time to time, there isn’t any Coca Cola flavor left, but the flavor is great
I didn't know that's cantonese, I usually do that with a touch of orange juice too. Shit's delicious
Guga…… your side dish is actually a main dish for me ! Looks excellent
Totally agree
I second that, looks awesome
We Asians eat too much white rice. It contains just refined carbohydrates and nothing much else. It is not a healthy food to be eaten in large amount.
Yesss
All this looks good
Honestly a 50/50 mix of the 2 together would probably be the best especially if you like sweet and savory
I was just thinking that. Why not try one with both?
My uncle marinades his chicken in coca cola garlic some seasonings and soy sauce and then puts it on the grill its amazing
Yes indeed
Coca cola garlic
For most Cantonese recipes for the soy sauce chicken, once you bring the soy sauce to a boil, you drop the chicken in, cover, and then kill the heat. The chicken tends to be more tender and juicy than having it cook on a full boil.
I suppose you need a cast iron pot for that, no?
@@SviatoslavDamaschin I guess for home cooking, that would be a wiser option. People used ceramic or clay pots in the past and most BBQ places use large vats.
kill the heat?? lol.. maybe you mean lower.
@@OrvinReyes Depends. Some might say lower, some might say kill the heat. Depends on chefs, vessels, and size. Lots of factors. Traditionally, you’d kill the heat though.
@@SviatoslavDamaschin no reason you can't do that in a regular pot but a Dutch oven would be better
Hi Guga
I am from South Africa and we often cook chicken in Coke. I normally boil the chicken in the Coke, then remove it and immediately throw in some potatoes to boil in the leftover Coke the chicken was boiled with.
After that you can pour some Coke in a pan and reduce it until it becomes a nice sticky sauce.
Then I put all the Coke boiled chicken pieces in a oven pan. Add the potatoes and some seasonal veggies and pour over that reduced Coke sticky sauce and wack in the oven with the grill function on and when nice and golden and sticky take it out.
Enjoy it just like that or with some basmati rice... Its DELICIOUS!!!

Coca Cola, soya sauce, brown sugar and some garlic make an awesome honey garlic type flavor!
I've cooked using coca cola many times, but chemistry class many years ago taught me not to boil or superheat sugar unless I wanted blackened toffee lol so I prefer to use it in slow cooking!
I still love that, as a chef, you let people know your seasoning recipe which most keep secret. I love sharing my recipes people love and love that you do the same. You are in a category of your own, Guga.
Except he isn't a Chef lol.
@@luissanchez7134 didn't he used to work at a restaurant or something?
@@caljs Yes but because he worked in a restaurant, he fully understands that he isn't a chef.
He doesn't consider himself a chef and neither do I. And I've been to culinary school and much, much more. But I'm no chef. He is a meat enthusiast and cook at most. Hats off to him though for making a career out of entertaining food. Most youtubers think they are Chefs but Guga is very humble and understands his limits. That's not to say he isn't capable but he has a lot to learn, as do I.
@@luissanchez7134 finally someone who understands a difference between a chef and a cook
@@ammagon4519 i dont know what makes a chef? Is it not culinary school, or years of experience in the field? This is a genuine question, idk if it came off as sarcastic.
Here in the Philippines, we have a similar recipe. However, we mix soy sauce and Sprite, along with some aromatics (garlic, ginger, shallots, peppercorns, bay leaves). You just boil it and it turns to a similar brownish color and is extremely juicy as well.
I came into the comments to find the Pinoys!
The dish is called Humba if you add star anise and sprite. But if its just aromatics, its called chicken adobo with sauce
The huge difference is the boiled one is a whole chicken being cooked..
adobo is just a joke. Humba is the untold wonder. Adobo has no culture.
In Cantonese cooking that is the Soy Chicken. Its a very common chicken.
3:22 “and right about this point I was re thinking my choices in life” 😂same, me everyday Guga
if anyone has a problem with chicken its because it not salted properly. Dry brine by weight and you can literally do nothing or anything else and itll be good. case in point
A restaurant I used to cook at would boil chicken gizzards in Pepsi and garlic until tender, then beer batter and deep fry them. So good! The pepsi isnt strong, but gives a flavor pop and a little different!!
@@joeschmoe8320 yeah I want to know that too because I always screw it up and end up with not so tender gizzards ughhh
@@joeschmoe8320 personally, I would probably say 6-8 hrs in a low setting crockpot

Rodent Guga: 8:17
I was laphing for like an hour after reading that
A lot of people use diet coke instead of regular coke because of the sweetener instead of the sugar - you should try doing both to see if the sugar content makes a difference, i would bet there would be less caramelisation left on a diet coke cooked one, but i’m curious if the sweetness would be as affected?
diet coke is disgusting. diet sweetened anything is disgusting. either be ok with sugar or lose some obesity lol
@@SobeCrunkMonster thanks for the useless comment. I personally hate sweetener or diet coke as they taste bitter to me, but thanks for assuming i needed to be insulted unnecessarily.
If you don’t have anything nice to say, STFU.
Diet coke 🤢🤢
Aspartame is heat sensitive, so it isn't a good choice for sweetening foods that are cooked.
And the diet coke is even more unhealthy than normal coke lol
Leo’s face turned bright red when he realised there was no steak. Guga you have completely spoiled the both of em.😂
Guga is the only person who would ever do this and thats why we love him
and bayashi tv lol
I expected this from Angel tbh
My grandma did this when I was younger and idk why
in denmark we have a dish called cola chicken so
We only live physically once so we shouldn’t be afraid to do anything bro, i smoke weed on my UA-cam channel and i ate burger king inside target, screw anyones opinion ☝️
Wow this video unlocked an old memory of mine. Back in the day when I was a sous chef I had a chef show me a recipe that this video reminded me of. We reduced a 2 liter of Coca Cola with a handle of Captain Morgan rum with onion, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and cilantro. We reduce it until it's thick like a syrup and then we add it to a sous vide bag with pork butt and cook it low and slow until it's super tender. Once it's all tender you can eat it like pulled pork, or throw it on a flat top grill and get it all crispy and caramelize the sugars a little bit. At first I was skeptical but it was honestly so good. I think I'm going to braise some chicken thighs in a Coca Cola/Soy Sauce type situation soon. Thanks for the inspiration Guga!
dam sounds really good
Sounds good. But did you cook/boiled it in that bag? Thanks a lot for sharing!😎
That sounds super nice, maybe you should consider remaking that for a UA-cam video? Stuff like that seems to do well on UA-cam.
@@kelthoumbensaghir4012 yes it’s vacuum sealed in a sous vide bag and then cooked in a tank with the circulator maintaining the temperature at around 85C-185F
@@ESPSJ good idea
Should simmer the Coke until reduced to take out most of the water, makes the Coke taste more intense.
Just use coke syrup. It exists. You can buy it. I use it to make water ice and to make, you know, coke.
@@Katharina-rp7iq ok but then why not just, you know, buy coke instead of making your own??
@@soobinsboi it would definitely be cheaper to buy syrup than the finished product, that's my guess

Round of applause to the editors, they’ve stepped up their game and have given me some extra laughs, I don’t think they get enough credit.
👏👏👏👏
isn’t angel his editor
@@mattnick23 I saw a video recently where he showed future videos being made and others were behind the scene working on them. Maybe when they first started? No idea!
The soy sauce one is called See Yao Gai in Cantonese. One of my favourite dishes.
my grandma used to do this and come over with a buncha of cola chicken..it sounds weird boiling it in coke but believe me- this tastes so good
It only tastes so good, because coke tends to have lots of sugar in it. Most of it is sugar and caffeine😂
People really should try out and do it with just wings, it is so simple yet tasty
If only Guga mixed both ingredients…
Coke Chicken (Wings) is actually a common homemade dish in Hong Kong and it includes both soy sauce and coke as part of the ingredients.
So we shouldn't be surprised the coca chicken was good.
Guga in the future seasoning steak with cocaine instead of salt:
"both of them are the same exact color"
you never seen coke before irl
@@caspii9 🤓🤓🤓
Cocaine is a highly addictive drug, put into the body by inhalation through the nasal cavity into the lungs, which also affects the brain and can put a hole through the center of the bridge between nostrils

Actually in Indonesia, several stall sells Chicken cooked with Cola. But not similar with your way, Guga.
Is it sweet and chilli flavour?
This is actually one way we have our chicken bento box in Taiwan. Gooey skin but super flavorful to go with rice.. super yummy
Haven’t watched this yet but I’m sure Angel is gonna love this 😂
He just loves experiments. Almost as much as he loves chicken.
Same. It’s his favorite 😂
Guga I have been dying to know, is the food still hot when you conduct these experiments? It’s always a challenge for me getting all the food to the table still good and hot. We really enjoy learning from your videos.
I wonder the same thing!
Same thing with shows like Masterchef. Are the judges eating the food cold? There are so many contestants to go through before they get to the last dish.
@@D71219ONE For masterchef I actually worked at the show and I can tell you the food was very cold when the judges tasted it. Normally we would put the cooked food in a fridge and go on lunch break between finishing cooking and shooting the judges eating it so the food was fridge cold at that point.
@@bads wow that seems unfair to the contestants. Cold food does not taste as good.
@@bads weren’t the judges also walking around testing the food during so it wouldn’t give hot vs cold an upper hand?
I'll be surprised if you get an answer.
Chicken boiled in Coca-cola...
So what's next?
Crab boiled in Pepsi Max? Because let me tell ya, a certain swedish chef already beat you to it.
I’ve been eating Coca Cola chicken for 40yrs. It’s nothing new at all.
@@HughWoo is that true or are you messing with me
Shrimp in Sprite. No joke it's unbelievably good.
@@HomeEdit234 Idk elsewhere, but Chinese people have been eating them for at least two decades. Mainly chicken wings tho.
Was waiting for a comment on Killian
Reminds me of Chinese Coco-Cola wings, it's super popular and add lemon zest too!
Coca-cola wings actually originated from Taiwan
@@real_xijinping Taiwan is the real China. The mainland part is called West China and Taiwan owns it.

I cook chicken in Coca Cola every month. My mom taught me how to do it. I highly recommend it. I use tomato paste and some seasoning.
I make coke cola ham at Christmas, but I have to make it at Easter as well now my children have gotten older, as well as Aunts and Uncles who love it, I boil it with brown sugar, onions, carrots etc, then take it out and put it in the oven so it’s perfect, the liquid left from my boil is reduced to a thick sauce and poured over the ham, remember to remove the black stuff that rises while boiling, just skim it every so often.
7:35 one of the funniest things I've seen on this channel, Angel rejecting green onions with "I actually already pushed mine to the side, thank you"
Hi Guga. Here is a video idea for you. I recently learned that snacks that use MSG sometimes also contain Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate to enhance the effect of MSG by 20x-30x stronger (for example, Doritos, Pringles, etc).
I'm not sure what ratio/blend of MSG, DSI, and DSG is needed, but I'm sure you can find it somewhere. America's Test Kitchen + Kenji Lopez Alt have a video that discusses some of the science behind it.
I was thinking the experiment could be this:
1. Steak + SPG (control)
2. Steak + SPG + MSG
3. Steak + SPG + MSG + DSI + DSG
Since the MSG, DSI, and DSG has sodium in it, the salt in the SPG might need to be reduced a bit, but it's up to you. Anyways, I hope you give it a shot!
Also ngl leo is kinda annoying no hate but he just seems quite extra we need the og angel or mamau to review them food
I wouldn't be surprised. I'm addicted to those friggin' snacks. For instance, Crunchy Cheetos are my Kryptonite. I am pretty sure there's artificial flavors in them, which have probably been designed to taste better than real life and make me eat them all. Either that or I have no willpower.
Leo seems like a nice guy. Why the hate?
@@AlinZamfiroiu you have the wrong comment section. This is the artificial flavors section, not the hate Leo section.
I actually prefer Leo to Mamau. You at least get a reaction there and some descriptive words...
@@Briguy1027 Thats the WHOLE POINT of the MSG unholy trinity. MSG is there to make the foods ADDICTING. They intend for you to BUY the food. The more you buy, the more $$$ they make.
Artificial flavors (and UNnatural flavors) do the SAME thing.
mad man guga back at it again
He looks like curly as three stooges
Now THIS is what UA-cam should be all about. Absolutely wonderful video, thanks!
His voice when he was saying what ingredients he was putting in just kept getting higher and higher😂😂
I can't say I've ever seen poultry boiled in Coke, but I have seen Coca-Cola chicken where the Coke is used to make a sauce for chicken. I've also slow-cooked with root beer, which I suppose is the same concept as what you did, without the burnt sugar issue.
Soy sauce boiled chicken is always going to have more flavor though, because salt is a natural flavor enhancer and Coke just doesn't have close to the sodium levels of soy sauce (~37 mg sodium per cup of Coke vs 14,000 mg sodium per cup soy sauce). Maybe instead of adding brown sugar like you did to the Coke, add salt? I mean, there was already more than enough sugar in the Coke as it is, and you could probably add enough salt to act as a flavor enhancer without making it taste salty.
Colas can be surprisingly handy when it comes to cooking. I know Dr. Pepper makes for a great basting liquid for hams and I've heard of home made BBQ sauces and braises that use cola and rootbeer. And this is something of an aside, but leftover coffee makes for an AMAZING addition to anything with pork.
@@Ninetails2000 Yeah all of that stuff I have either heard of or used myself. But none of that is the same as flat out boiling a chicken in coke.
I've been making Coca-Cola chicken since the 70s! It's really good.
I don't boil my chicken in it, I bake mine in the oven, but it's the same concept.
I like the bit of a sweet taste, not as sweet as barbecue, but just enough for flavor, and it always comes out tender and juicy.
In the oven, some sort of magic happens and the caramel coloring disappears, leaving clear broth that is delicious.
The sugar also mainly seems to disappear.
I love Coca-Cola chicken!
I've got a question. Are you saying you *marinade* the chicken in Coca-cola and then bake it or are you putting the chicken in a tray full of Coca-cola and then *stewing* it in the oven? Curious about your method.
@@uqox Don't know how he do it but my take is this:
- Marinade the chicken in coca-cola
- Bake the chicken in the oven on low heat so it doesn't burn (since the skin has some sugar on it now)
- Boiled up the marinade with some starch to make a sauce
I have seen what's called beer can chicken where sometimes they will use coke. You stand the chicken on the can, they even make specialised stainless steel things now for it. It's difficult to do in the oven as a lot of them aren't high enough to take a chicken the other way up on a stand.
I cooked beef steak with coke before when I forgotten to buy cooking oil
"Do you know what that is?"
"Caramelization?"
"No, that's Coca-Cola!"
... I mean, I think it's technically both.
Chicken 'n' coke, a certified hood classic
I've always watched Guga for his experiments on steaks, now it's all about the side dishes!!!! Love it!
You two should be grateful. I'd be honored to eat chicken with Guga someday if he'd allow me.
Everytime I watch this my mouth gets watery.
I think I'll definitively try this one in the weekend.
I usually mix the two together. Chicken and rice with a soy cola glaze is one of my favorite meals
Guga Foods, asking the food questions everyone else was afraid to ask since 2015. Love what you do Guga, never change.
I really wish my father had lived long enough to partaken in your channel. He was a kindred spirit, (with a little dash of Josh from mythical kitchen thrown in) always doing irreverent, wild food experiments which flew in the face of conventional knowledge. His mantra was always that if you didn't try our your "stupid" idea you would never know if it was any good.
You might like Atomic Shrimps channel. Much love 🌼
in korea we use soda to soften the meat a lot. my fam uses coke for bulgoki.
I’ve never noticed that when he lists ingredients he says them like he isn’t sure. Like it’s a question. Now I can’t unhear it 😂😂😂😂
The Coca Cola is best used when you reduce it to get all the sugar from it. You also needed to salt it more so it probably was bland. Definitely could have gone a lot better.
I feel like this was an unfair comparison. Coca Cola only really has the Caramel Flavoring going for it. It isn't a Complex Flavor. Soy Sauce on the other hand is full of Umami. When used in cooking, it is a Complex Flavor. It also has Salt, which helps improve the flavor. The Coke, doesn't have enough salt. Even though your rub contains salt, there isn't enough salt in Coke to not wash out the salt in your rub. I feel if you had replaced the Brown Sugar in the Coke Boil with a decent amount of Salt, your results would be very different.
My mom makes what she calls "hong kong" chicken. she uses soy, garlic and brown sugar and everybody loves it!!! The sauce becomes very sticky and flavorful
1:20 Little bit of oil>?? Your eggs swiming in it . AHAHAH
Lol that's a pan deep fried egg lol 😂 1 of my grandmothers used to cook her fried eggs like that all the time lol ohh nostalgia lol 😂 💕
My mom always cooked our Christmas ham with Coke, pineapple, and cloves. Super unique flavor, but it’s really good.
Over here in Ireland and the UK a very popular dish is coca cola chicken and for a lower calorie version, diet cola chicken and it is delicious. You can also make a quick sweet and sour sauce recipe with orange soda or cola (and diet version for lower calorie) and garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar and pineapple pieces (you can even leave those out and it is still a great, quick version). Much simpler than making a sweet and sour sauce from scratch and way easier to balance the sweet and sour taste.
no intro whatsoever he just jumped to the chicken now thats what I like!
Guga in 2025 be like: I dry aged my nephew Angel in sugar for 30 days and this happend!
Lmfao
Im always amazed at the crazy ideas Guga comes up with.
In Sweden, there's actually a tradition to cook some meats, usually beef or pork, in Coca Cola.
I am malay, for my family (idk if other do the same) the chicken was boiled in the water with generous amount of ginger n garlic untill cook, after that we marinade it with soy sauce n make sure the chicken was covered with only soy sauce (the sweet one) like u cover your steak with butter for dry age then let it rest, 15 minutes is enough, but the longer the better. N then deep fry it with palm oil untill u get the beautiful colour with crunchy skin. For the sauce just use some garlic add ginger if u like, then use some chicken stock that u use to cook the chicken before, maybe one cup, then use the soy sauce that left over from the marinade process n add maybe 2 or 3 cup of sweet soy sauce, add sugar if u want then add some salt, then let it boil for 15 minutes. Optionally u also can use coconut sugar (i think the name) that we call it gula kabong in malay to get the soy sauce thicker n some additional flavour.
I'm not sure if I would try the Cocoa Cola Chicken but the soy chicken and ginger looks amazing. You always do a really great job and keep your recipes easy and not to complex.
Cocoa Cola Chicken is a very popular dish in China, try it and you will love it.
ALWAYS 💕 the science experiments Guga!
So when we have a hurricane and we run out of water or soy sauce to boil chicken, we will always have Coca-Cola 😂😂😂
Cola Chicken IS a dish in South East Asia (specifically Malaysia)... It's a Nyonya/Peranakan-style (mixed Malay-Chinese culture) dish, it's usually boiled down and glazes the smaller chicken pieces, and not cooked in the same style as Chinese-style soy sauce boiled chicken.
Here's something I don't think you've tried:
Fermented Shrimp Paste.
Also known as BAGOONG in the Philippines and most southeast asian countries.
Commonly found in most asian supermarkets or well stocked asian sections in mainstream american supermarkets (ie not that hard to attain).
Perhaps try initially as a compound butter?
Or a dry aging method?
Or a marinade when putting into sous vide?
I'd be interested to see if you're down for trying, Guga.🤔
I've had beef cooked with cola a few times (braised I think), but not chicken. It works surprisingly well as a base flavor, although a touch too sweet for my tastes. It worked better as a small dish rather than main course, a whole meal of it was a bit much for me.
oh, there's a famous recipe in China called 可乐鸡翅. literally coke chicken wings. usually we add in some ginger in the coke, and remove them after a short while, then boil the coke until the coke becomes kinda thick. because of the sugar in coke, the sauce would be quite easy to stick on to the chicken and gives it more flavour
I worked in a kitchen when I was younger and spilled a fresh cup of fountain cola across the grill over a grilled chicken breast and finished cooking it and it was amazing.
Been marinating steak in coke for years, makes the meat super tender.
Yup tender and extremely sugary and unhealthy good luck with your analysis
Last time, guga thought papaya seeds looked like pepper so he used em on steaks. Now, since soy sauce and coke got the same colour, he boiled em in it. 💀
Next up, nuclear waste turned into compound butter?
Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos.
After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos:
- Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef.
- How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ?
- Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide.
And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)
after cooking this i usually save the soy sauce to cook dishes i usually cook with soy sauce or i dump in pre boiled and peeled eggs into the soy sauce.
Cooking chicken in coke is something people don't normally think about, hopefully it turns out.
In china coke chicken wing is a very popular dish lol
A street vendor near my campus actually sell these and it was pretty delicious although the place was dirty and suspicious. Great video btw love the fried egg preparation!
Dirty and suspicious you say
Where?
09:05 I mean Angel is right, Its the sugar in the Coke
Listening to the guy speak is just satisfying for some reason.
guga is INSANE N WE love him 😆
I don't even understand the sheer hate and boredom of chicken on this show, I swear if I got some moist flavorful chicken cooked by a grill master like Guga I'd be over the moon, it'd be some of the best food in the world. Maybe those steaks he makes are just SO beyond next-level that anything else is a disappointment in comparison no matter how good it is....
i dont know why but I enjoy most of the time chicken more than beef. Chicken goes good with every flavor spicy, sweet, sour etc.
Steaks in my opinion are more boring and not good for your health in big quantities
@@sucukmitei5436 I agree, steak is overrated although it can be good sometimes
@@sucukmitei5436 I enjoy steak more than chicken. But I can easily eat chicken every day where I don't want to eat steak every day.
I agree. Unless it is a top shelf cut, quality, and cooked right steak, I way rather just have same chicken. Chicken is much more consistently delicious.
My family marinades chicken in coke and has for years. Makes the chicken so sweet and tender its incredible.
I’ve never subscribed to a channel after 2 videos. This is wild, you’re blowing my mind
Both good options, a small additional step of marinating the chickens would really improve the depth of flavor! I knew the cola one had promise, one of my favorite holiday recipes involves baking a ham in cola, brown sugar, and spices, always tasty!
Hi Guga !
You always use garlic powder to season your steak, but I was wondering if it would not be better to use other garlic seasoning like fresh garlic, garlic paste or some kind of garlic compound better ?
Would you make a video about testing different kind of garlic seasoning to find out the best way ?
Love you
He already did.
Hey I'm pretty sure he uses both garlic powder and then he will baste the steak with thyme and garlic, or aromatics of some kind.
Guga, please dryage a steak when it is wrapped in bacon, and another covered with bacon fat, and maybe another covered in like crispened up bacon bits to see how they will turn out! Love your videos!
0:52 both of them are same exact color🥶. Glad he didn’t think of crude oil or motor oil
Can you fry chicken in chilli oil?
Wonderful!!!
Thanks for all your hard work.
My friends and family absolutely love your channel.
❤️🙏🏽❤️👍👌🏾❤️
Cooking chicken with coke (the soft drink) is quite popular in Hong Kong as well. And regarding to how soy sauce is more expensive than coke, no we don't just use soy sauce but usually mix it with water so you can't just compare them like that. And they taste, pretty obviously, different and give you a different flavour.
Ham is usually what my grandfather used with diet and regular Cola when he’d make some for thanks giving.
Guga, you say "chives" but it's green onion. Chives are not the same thing. For people with visual impairment, that might be misleading. Although, I'm sure you could use chives in place without much damage
They are both called cebolinhas in Portuguese, which is spoken in Brazil, where Guga is from.
Gah damn, that’s delicious!
Guga: "Soy is on the left"
Adam Ragusea: "And Vinegar Leg is on the right"
I seen this comment in one of Gugas videos a long time ago, and it said every time he names ingredients his voice gets high pitch 🤣🤣 and In this one I definitely noticed it
This channel really knows how to get your attention
I told youtube to stop recommending, because I'm tired of seeing so much meat.... and they still got me 🙈
@@IndecisionTelevision Me too 🤣
