Joshua probably informs every parent that he comes across that he can make their child but better
Stellar comment
Dude what the actual fuck 😂🤣🤣😂
Holy crap🤣🤣🤣
this is highly probable yes
Josh's Cuckitchen, "come get some, but better!"
I personally love how Josh notes on the bag that it says hot and fresh, and then he's surprised when he cuts into the sandwich she goes "ooh that's hot"... Promise made, promise kept by the bag
he meant hot as in spicy for his first bite and the bag was hot as in warm
@@imYourssxD except he said the flavor falls completely flat and that there just a little bit of spice...
Well to be fair lots of restaurants have some sort of "promise" like "hot n ready" by lil ceasars and it comes to you poorly sliced and barely warm
Bag is referring to the new fries they have. You can see the fries all over the sides of the bag too.
The bag actually read "Hot and crispy guaranteed" referring to their fries.
I’d be interested in seeing some videos in a “But Faster” series. Show us how to make quick meals at home faster than you could by driving out to a restaurant, ordering, and returning.
Try watching Ethan Chlebowski, he does just that!
Wow, you did it!
You just gave him the idea. That’s fun y
Mom: We have Fast Food at Home.
Fast food at Home:
I made these and they were amazing! I halved the dredge and spicy oil amounts, so I didn't have too much left at the end. The only thing that was tricky was the sause... it did split on me... but I brought it back to life 😊 with the old good trick. I put a tablespoon of storebougth mayo in to the bowl and was adding tablespoons of my " concoction ", whisking by hand. And it worked like a charm😁Thank you for a recipe!
Y our the first person to actully do his recipes
This looks delicious... I can not wait to create the whole Wendy’s menu from the realms of my kitchen...
Isn't this more of a Nashville hot chicken sandwich vs just a spicy chicken sandwich? Not a good comparison imo.
No doubt this version is better and I'ma make it but still
i was a boy. they were 138 girls. can i make it any more obvious? thats right, i had a crazy dream last night. HAHAHAHAHA!!! im the funniest youtube star ever. youre welcome for laughing dear bu
i personally can't wait to never create this because i'm not confidant in my skill
Same here
Pro home cooks does stuff like this.
Imagine if he made his own fast food chain with a whole menu of this kind of food. Honestly I'd pay 2-3x if I knew it was all made in-house with no compromises like in these videos
Wtf are you doing here lmao
THIRTYYYY!
I didn't know you would comment on Josh's video. Wow
Oh hi 👋
we have a place in my city called "Bird on the Run" thats exactly that. Its probably a 6/10.
I had no idea this professional chef could make a better fried chicken sandwich than Wendy’s…
Lmao
He doesn’t always make it better tho
You see Josh I like this series. Its nice to see how we can make this so easily at home. However I'm not going out of my way to make something like this when I'm either running late somewhere and want something quick or just straight up lazy.
Thank you for the morning bless, papa.
It's 17.04 in finland rn
*thank you for the Finland afternoon bless as well, Papa*
@@jvmes2287 Yes. Papa is the best
Its 11pm here lmao
I thank Papa as well
I worked at Wendy's in the early 80s. The chicken was great then. We had just regular chicken breasts that we breaded like you would at home, right before they went into the fryer. Then they started making all these cost cuts and the chicken was the first to go. Started getting pre-breaded frozen stuff that wasn't even close to the original.
Wendy’s is the worst fast food out there now.
@@samclark3370 I like their fries though.
I work there now and agreed
I remember this. Wendy’s was my first job in high school. Yeah, frozen chicken just doesn’t compare. Shortly after Dave Thomas died, things really went downhill fast. Haven’t eaten there since.
@@samclark3370 not true
There's no one better than this guy. He's just so entertaining. He's our generation's Gordon Ramsey, but in a way different flavor.
He is like Gordon Ramsay, only he's actually likeable!
Gordon Ramsay is literally this generations Gordon Ramsay
tried your milkbuns the other day for the first time - straight ordered your cookbook, you're awesome dude
As someone who worked at Wendy's for way too long... I was prepared to give you the side eye, but you blew this out of the water! It looks amazing!
No side eye needed. Also that building. Oof. ALL THE LOW SCORES REQUIRED.
The fact you got a not-bad sandwich is super rare as an ex employee as well. So you got lucky lol
Another amazing But Better episode! 👍
@@MegaMan306 right?? The one I worked at was in a probably 30 year old building and it didn't look anywhere near that terrible 🤣🤣
Hey there,
Did you work at Wendy's when they made the spicy chicken fillets in house? If so, how did they do it? I can never seem to get it spicy enough when I make it at home.
I got your cookbook for Christmas and i can’t stop staring at your recipes I just am amazed by your work! I love your Popeyes burger and the chicken parmigiana
I remember Wendy’s being one of the first places that had a spicy chicken sandwich and that was 15 years maybe more than that. McDonalds also used to have one many years ago. What I liked about those ones is that the spice is in the breading and not just a sauce like it is now at McDonald’s Burger King Chick-fil-A etc. But Wendy’s fries are amazing as well
The editing mixed with this dude's personality, and the sheer skill he possesses, this channel is just amazing. I'm really happy all of this exists.
The editing is so underrated
I was pointing this out to my husband today. It's just so good.
Its way too good.
I dunno man his personality is arrogant
@@PLANDerLinde99 I honestly want to believe that he's just playing an off-putting character.
Josh’s “But better” challenge should be named “making fast food that actually looks like the advertisements and commercials”
Any more words you wanna add lol thats waaaay too long
for short mffallac
“From the commercial”?
its shorter
MFFTALLTAAC
More like " making food at home in the comfort of my kitchen at the leisure of my schedule with zero rush, no customers , no piling orders, no boss , any ingredient in the world"

dammn pretty low effort
@E-Sardrtthak ma man soo talented, he made a sandwich in the comment section XD
You forgot when he assembled but otherwise great help. Thanks.
josh i’m glad wendy’s stood out against all the other sandwiches because wendy’s is the best fast food chain out there. that tropical berry lemonade SLAPS.
algorithm bump because this is very VERY true
This is outstanding. I made these as a surprise for my family, and goodness it was a huge hit. Now I make them quite often. Thanks for sharing such a great treat!
Hey Josh, just made this recipe and it was easily the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Bun was amazing. Your step by step instruction was on point and accurate. Could not be happier with the result☺☺☺👍👍👍
The reason it, "has that sort of Nashville fried chicken quality to it", is because you literally just made a Nashville hot chicken sandwich.
Exactly! Which isn’t what Wendy’s is going for with their decades-old sandwich. This isn’t a “But Better” it’s a “But Completely Different”.
Thank you, was thinking the same thing
Yeah this is just Nashville hot, not a wendy's copy or anything.
Why Nashville that is just a common mix to make hot chicken nothing special been around before Nashville been claiming it
@@johnree6106 Nashville hot usually refers to the practice of mixing hot oil with the seasoning and coating the chicken with it. The way he did it was def. Nashville style but it shouldn't have been since Wendy's doesn't sell it as a Nashville hot while some of their competition does specifically make Nashville hot chicken sandwiches.
its beautiful Josh
Fr
I’m tired of these imitation. Support the real deal.
YESSS LETS GOOO MY FAOVURTE CHICKEN SANDWICH OF ALL TIME LETS GO THANK YOU IVE BEEN BEGGING YOU FOR A YEAR TO MAKE THIS TY
watched this video completely thru and decided that I would go into my kitchen for a change. you really inspired me to make my own food
I'm definitely going to try making that garlic mayo, I bet that in itself was delicious
Ditto that mayo will be a regular thing in my house!!! I make garlic oil all the time but now.... look out its garlic mayo even on my home cooked turkey sandwiches!!!
Just made it 5 mins ago. Very nice.
it did look and sound really good didn't it
ngl, I kind of want to see him do the bourbon bacon cheese burger. That shit is my jam and id love to see how to do a good version of it
You put bourbon bacon and cheese on it
bro people with ur dp are a menace to society
my husband likes that burger, and we like the jalapeno popper chicken sandwich
Oh snap or the pretzel bacon pub chicken sandwhich/cheeseburger, that would be a culinary wet dream
Fantastic recipe. Amazing flavour for something that came together so quickly.
I was just thinking about this the other day, glad you actually did it
The way he described the experience you should have when you eat a chicken sandwich is exactly how I feel about Wendy spicy chicken. Lol I know it isn't the greatest, but I've loved it since I was a kid. I might have to make this, though. Looks so freaking good!
Each location is different. All depends. The one near me is hit or miss.
@@machine1685 You are right! But when it's good, boy is it good. Lol
Got to admit that Wendy's got the chicken sandwich down better than KFC
Just discovered your channel this week while I was looking for a doughnut recipe. Man. You and I would get along so well, humor is on point my man. Subbed and will watch until one of us dies. Thank you for good content.
This is probably the greatest thing I've seen on this channel. I am 100% about to attempt to make this lol.
Josh should do a livestream special where we follow along in his process for how he makes these recipes from scratch
Made this dough recipe the other day, it's the second time I've made it and its AMAZING!!!!
Wow I’ve never had the spicy chicken sandwich but I would love to try yours. I’m addicted to your food videos.
just bought your cookbook and can’t wait to get to cooking!
Boy that looks yummy. Now I just need someone to make it for me.
LMAO
Stop being lazy and do it yourself. You can do it. I believe in you.
WHY!!! You afraid of the kitchen... SMH!
Are you afraid of the hot oil too?
I just made your recipe for dinner tonight. It was fantastic absolutely loved it best chicken sandwich I've ever had and I get to say I made it. Thank you so much
Love, love, love this video!!!! 🤩🤩🙏🏻
something that really inspires us as a cooking reference every time there is a special moment
This chicken sandwich has been my favorite fast food since childhood. I’ll definitely be trying to make it myself when I’m up to it from now on 🤗💜
Living in the UK, we don’t have Wendy’s here, but I got to try one when I was out in the states a few years ago. I’m a sucker for fried chicken! Can’t wait to try this. Thanks 🙏
There are branches in Stratford, Oxford, Croydon, and Romford bro.
@@londonshaf really? I never knew that! Thanks pal. I’m in Nottingham but down in the capital next month. I think I’ll pay one a visit 😀
Yeah we don’t have it either in Australia. We got a Wendy’s but it’s a whole different thing; they only sell hotdogs and milkshakes.
man....i always appreciate such precise measurement of spices are given. teaspoon and gram!
this is the best cooker ever🥰🥰🥰
Always entertaining. Although I would not make this often I love the gems contained within this recipe. The confit garlic mayo sauce is something I badly want to make now that I’ve seen it. Also the spice oil is really cool. I love the but better series despite the fact that I haven’t eaten at any of these place for more than20 years.
For those that want to dial this down in spice level, skip the coating in oil+spices step and toast your buns using a chipotle/siracha/hotsauce of your choice mixed with mayo instead of the butter and it will still be fantastic. Nice work Josh. I do think the hot oil pushes this into Nashville hot chicken territory though, as opposed to the spicy coating on the Wendy's version.
Is there anyway for you to cut the spice out completely? I plan to make a bunch of these for my family for dinner but a few of my family members cant stand spice
Wow this look very delicious, awesome..
This video gave twitter a heart attack and palpitations
There is a wendys near my house and i eat this sandwich a lot and its amazing
Great series. But homemade anything will almost always prevail
Wendy's isn't exactly hard to beat either.
Looks so good
cook food in a fun, easy and simple way
Delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
You get to choose two of three things. Fast, Cheap, or Quality. Wendy's is fast and cheap and honestly the quality is better than its competitors. It's not, spend 6 hours in a professional kitchen quality, but if you wanted that you would be spending $20 on a chicken sandwich, not $6.
So while Josh's sandwich may be the superior sandwich I really cant dedicate hours of my day to it. It's an advantage he has over us average Joe's. He gets paid to do this stuff, because he's good at it and he made that decision with his life. I respect that and totally use his videos for other things (looking at you Fermentation Fridays!!!) but these types of recipes are just nice to dream about for the regular viewer.
I like your video because it's very funny and useful!!
this could be my dream meal!! love crispy chicken & burger buns, this is so special now, going to order all ing. and do it 1by1...
Wendys spicy chicken sandwich was pretty nice though when it was 2 for $5
Yours will always be better. However, when I swing through the drive through, Wendy's had the best before Popeyes started the food fight.
Wendy's is just terrible tbh. Pretty sure their tweets are the only things keeping them in business. Burgers always dry, fries always soggy and tasteless, always getting orders wrong. Just a sad place, easy to beat.
Here in PR where I live Wendy's has a double chicken ranch sandwich for 1.49 that's been my go to since it came out. And before that my favorite one was the normal chicken sandwich. Wendy's easily A tier.
@@leaf2180 well they are cheap af
@@harrystylesassistantlove3276 it better be lmao. With that F tier garbage they serve.
@@leaf2180 lol actual nonsense. I’ll take Wendy’s over McDs, BK, or any other fast food place. Maybe the Wendy’s by you are bad but damn. Bad take
This looks like a burger right out of a commercial!! Sooo goodd.
Congrats on the videos! I'm doing it here in Brazil.
I make the Wendy’s spicy chicken for a living . I work at a factory. It’s pretty decent and also Wendy’s have had there’s for a long time . But yeah
Hey Josh, just made this recipe and it was easily the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Bun was amazing. Your step by step instruction was on point and accurate. Could not be happier with the result.
I am very happy to see your cooking skills
Very nice, I want to learn like that.
Wendy’s chicken sandwich has been a thing since like the early 2000s.
mid 90's!
Just made some chicken nuggies with your recipe and I loved them, even though they were a bit of a mess to make
my new favorite channel ❤️
OMG, finally home made mayo. You are truly the king.
Well, not really, but you know what I mean.
What surprises me is that Josh actually says that the Wendy's chicken sandwich is one of the better fast food ones he's had. I mean, that's pretty high praise.
I work there so I appreciate that he did
Oh..my..goodness 🤤! I normally don’t grab burgers outside if not necessary. Only when there’s no other option to fill my stomach outside the house.
But never felt like making one by myself at home either 😂
After watching this video….my mind was changed. ‘I definitely will make this!’ 🤩🤩🤩
Man when I want a new recipe for something I just look up josh 😂😂
I love how he always opens the cabinet talking like we’re shut in there just waiting for him to come back for another one🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoy these videos! but I would like to ask, how much did you spend for the ingredients.. not just for this but also the other.. I know that sometimes the price increase is subtle but still I think it is interesting!
Everything for me is about $37 USD for walmart. Thats without the homemade buns and the spicy mayo
Looks amazing! The one thing Wendy’s does have on this chicken sandwich… You can just go get it on a whim. You have to plan to have a chicken sandwich sometime in the future if you’re going to make this recipe. And it’s not exactly quick.
This series isn't called, "but faster"
It's true, but if a person were so inclined they could make the buns and have them ready for a week, you could make the aioli and that should be good for a week (I think?? I don't know how long it would last), then just make the chicken in real time when you want it. you could skip the marinade since it's going to have a sauce anyway. if you had the chicken ready to cook, start to finish in 20-30 minutes maybe? a lot of work and forward planning, but still better and overall cheaper than 2 sandos for 12$ then you'd have buns and aioli for other dishes - burgers or just a few more chicken sandwiches.
Saying 'B-Roll' aggressively, timed along with my boi is my second most favorite thing about watching his videos.
I was so hungry watching this omfg
I love wendys spicy chicken sandwich, something about the breading is just different from anywhere else taste wise
Looks great! Speaking if chicken you should remake wingstop wings, I think they're the best chicken wings out there from a franchise.
100%, Wingstop is amazing. They have awesome fries and ranch too 🤤
@@katcuzzi you ain't lying
Joshua, u are a true chef 👨🍳 , Brother!
I’ll try to make this at some point
The spicy chicken sauce made me tear up.
And the best fast food spicy chicken is at Culver’s, but it’s regional so I don’t think it counts.
Omg yesss culver's does have a great spicy chicken sandwich!!😍
I wanna see Wendy's post a comment, or Josh tell us what Wendy's Twitter said.
"we make fast food, you make slow food"
same so i shared this video to wendy's twiter xD
I love how he constantly remixes “whisky business” 😂😂😂
This looks absolutely perfect 😳🙌❤️🔥🔥🔥
Can we just take a moment to recognize that he separated the egg just to put both parts in at the same time in the mix
What do you mean - I must have missed it? At @3:25 he needed 1 whole egg and 1 yolk for the bread and @5:40 just a yolk for the mayo.
@@cuddlesdotgif8395 ppl like you infuriate me no offense lol
@@jlstudiopro2974 people who ask for clarification, in a polite manner, because they don’t understand what someone said? How unfortunate. Those seeking anonymous validation by coming out of left field to denigrate others infuriate me. I guess we both have to live with pushed buttons.
@@cuddlesdotgif8395 That's not how I read your text. It seemed insulting but from a 3rd person view. It didn't seem like they were asking for clarification. So I saw your text as calling them out for being "Dumb" which obviously after your clarification you weren't doing that. So my apologies.
Wow, these minimum wage fast food workers did such a bad job! I'm gonna cook it BETTER!
Nobody makes minimum wage
What a lame comment, they follow a recipe.. hes just one upping the wendys recipe
@@sourdough9052 what a lame answer
I LOVE THAT INTRO!!!
Always success, bro, easy sustenance, always healthy
Toum (prononciated Toom) is pretty much garlic in Lebanese ( probably similar for other countries in region ). Very good idea to have toum inspired mayo sauce. Us (lebanon) we have a special sauce for grilled chicken that we call toum which is a mix of garlic, potato, olive oil and other( changes ingredients to some extent depending which village you go to). It is same as garlic sauce you have in shawarma but more authentic.
Will be trying this chicken burger on my next cheat day, thanks budd.
The problem with things like this is the amount of time that it takes to make, you could cut most of it off by buying buns but it's just not the same
I have a bad habit of whatching these when I'm hungry
looks delicious I want to try and taste,
I love everything Josh does on this channel, but I have to ask. How is making a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with a garlic aioli "Making the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich At Home"? Don't get me wrong. This looks delicious, but this is not the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich. This is a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with garlic aioli. And that doesn't even address the argument of you using thighs when Wendy's uses breasts, but, you know, whatever floats your culinary boat.
Amen
But that’s the whole point of a “But Better” he does lots of things to each recipe that would make it not the original. Whether it be the bread sauce or an extra special ingredient like truffle or how he makes the dough. But in essence it’s still what he says it is because at the end of the day all the burgers/chicken sandwich/nuggets are the same no matter who’s name is on the bag.
Came here to say this. Will also echo the fact that Josh is amazing, but , I digress this is definitely not the same thing, comparing apples to oranges.
yeah i'm not really understanding this whole series. it's not fast, its not the same thing, its only better for a whole lot of effort. delicious, but its not gonna get me to make one instead of hopping in the car and zip through a drive through.
I agree completely. Josh has some skills. But this is not even a comparison of chicken sandwiches. I was excited for this one because i used to eat spicy chickens from Wendy’s all the time. But. I thought he was going to get the seasoning blend and elevate the sandwich. Not make a completely different sandwich and say his is better.
The amount of people taking this as seriously as they are is just hilarious to see. This entertainment in the comments is like the dessert after the main course
Just made this recipe today.... All I can say is WOW!!! Best spicy chicken sandwich of my life. I drizzled some spicy honey on top for a little bit of a sweet and spicy twist... AMAZING! Some honey is a must IMO.
Josh your amazing!!!! And dat looks delicious.😃😃😃😃
I feel like "But Better" should actually encompass making an upgraded version of something that's generally the same. This is literally a completely different type of chicken sandwich, it feels more like a "Josh's Chicken Sandwich Recipe" video than a food item based off of Wendy's
The ratings are kind of biased towards this one location. Just because this Wendy’s is haunted by the girl from The Grudge doesn’t mean they all are.
I had this for the first time in awhile earlier today. Kinda funny how the YT recommended works
