Wanna learn how to make Gordon Ramsay's legendary Beef Wellington with ingredients from Walmart? Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/9xzKFPNfSyY/v-deo.html
Can you find out this recipe? The original closed down and only one place in Chino makes it. This is the best orange chicken in the world ua-cam.com/users/shortsTLa7YT32sYM?feature=share
I just found your videos and absolutely love them! You should make a video about bulgogi beef we have tried so hard to recreate it but something about it is just off. Keep up the great videos!
I cannot believe this isn’t a bigger hit. I made this recipe for my family and neighbors and we ALL agree: this is the absolute most authentic recipe for Chik Fil A sandwiches at home. Dare I say…it’s even better than the restaurant… Thanks for making such a great video and doing such incredible research.
@@farmageddon Damn son, you started a whole block party around a chicken sandwich knockoff recipe! I'm going to have to try it now and see if my neighbors show up.
"they cook their chicken for approximately 4 minutes and 20 seconds and i don't know how long that is in metric time" made me spit out my water i love those little and subtle jokes you put into your videos they get me every damn time
Fun fact though... minute/second/hour isnt metric time. There WAS an attempt to decimalize time. But people completely rejected it. So while minute/second/hour is an SI measurement, it isn't metric.
Worked at Chick=fil-a in the late 1970's. The wet ingredients are dead on. We used Nestle's milk powder and eggs. Henney Penny pressure cooker fryer, with peanut oil, so your fry time will be different if you don't have one of these machines (lol). Also, back in that time, dark meat chicken was used in a Chicken Q sandwich, which was chicken in a BBQ sauce served on a bun. That came pre-made to the store in big trays, you just heated that up. Funny note: I still have my employee badge 47 years later.
I worked at a CFA a few years back and can confirm that the pressure cooker fryer is definitely why the cook time is different from what people will normally cook it for at home, like he was talking about at 9:30
Great video as always. I worked at Chick Fil A for about 6 years. In the breading process, the "seeding" just happens because the same breading is used all day (cleaned twice a day), with more breading added on top. So the first filets of the day and the ones right after cleaning will have very little texture to them. Good idea to do this step in the home process. And to bread them you throw a breast in, handful of breading on top, press, flip it over, handful of breading on top, press, done. When you press down your arm pressing down lifts you up, not your calf - you get as much pressure into the chicken as possible.
@@farmageddon I also worked at chik-fil-a and they use a huge pressure cooker. Put the chicken in the oil, close the lid and start the timer. Try some pressure cooked vice just cooking in the oil. Same amount of time.
@@stuckinohio5111holy s’ that makes so much sense! I didn’t know you could deep fry in a pressure cooker but it makes total sense. What time did you usually have it set to if you don’t mind me asking? 😂
Haha. Appreciate the recipes Jason. A lot more than I thought goes into commercial cuisine. I also saw the Chinese rice recipe it was eye opening! Thanks
The high pressure cookers they have at chick insure it will never happen. That said it's a slightly above average sandwich ill never get the nations obsession and the best thing there is the frosted lemonade!!!
I tried this recipe tonight. Had to substitute the mustard powder with turmeric and I used the tenderloin instead of the filet. I dipped it in chic-Fil-A sauce and literally thought I was eating a restaurant sandwich. You nailed this recipe, thanks for making it so accessible!
I appreciate the fact that you took the time to actually research what goes into the chic-fil-a sandwich and how it's made versus making a regular chicken sandwhich and pretending it's the same thing.
The highlight in each of his videos is the fact that he shows me where in the store I have to look for the ingredients. That is phenomenal work and it makes his videos like no other 😊
My wife and I made this tonight per your exact steps and the results were incredible. It really is the chick-fil-a taste, but fresher and even more delicious. I couldn't believe how good it was. Your research, hard work, and trial and error really show through in this video and recipe. Can't wait to try your other recipes!
12 years of chick-fil-a management here, good lord, super impressed with this video. you've really got it all down. Love how you mention our little training bits too "dating not mating" "heels leave the ground", those help new people a lot haha. The sandwich you've made it spot on, really the only "critical" thing missing is not having the henny penny to pressure cook the chicken in the oil to help keep the chicken moist, but I feel like at this point there's probably hardly a difference since you've still got a great quality filet, coater, toasted buttered bun, and dill pickle chips. Looking forward to your spicy version!
This chicken....my god. I went to Walmart on Sunday and immediately left for the line. I bought the ingredients at Publix. This is, in fact, better than Chik Fi le. I can't imagine the work you put into this. Well done.
If you're ever here, I suggest trying them out. I love many places chicken sandwiches, but I find Chick-fil-a to be the absolute best for fast food -- and most fancier places I've been, too :) Then again, you can also follow this recipe -- the taste is surely worth the effort! Also -- their waffle fries are quite good with said chicken sandwich 🤤 Cheers from the US 😀
@@tiredoftheliesalready The other thing I LOVE about their places is that no matter where you go, ALL the employees are the most polite of ANY fast food place I've EVER been too. A friend of mine that worked for them told me the employees go through training for this.
He reminds me of a heavenly combination of Review Brah and Odd Ones Out, the "Soo-Ub-Way" guy that does the cartoons. Subscribed, now my husband and the rest of the family can have those special little chicken sandwiches whenever we want. Nice!
Thank you so much!! That is extremely generous of you! If there are any other recipes you would like for me to look into, please let me know and I promise I will put them on my list! Thanks again! You are very much appreciated!
I made these today. They were awesome. Very close to the original chicken sandwich. I only let the chicken marinate for about 6 hours, will do overnight next time. Thanks for doing all the work of putting the recipe together for us.
Not a Chick fil a customer but I have another "chicken franchise" for a convenience store setting. Aside from ingredients the procedure, cook time and presentation is spot on! The simplicity of the build is deceptive! The pickles on the bottom of the bun hit the perfect place on your tastebuds to work those salivary glands! This video is FANTASTIC and scientific! Love it!
This will be my 2nd time making this and I bet it will be just as excellent as the first time! This is a really great recipe but I'm moreso impressed by the idea of freezing your brined chicken. Guys, this is a great idea! But if I may make two suggestions: When you brine your chicken and vacuum seal it, vacuum seal your leftover milk powder. I have been using powders with milk product in them for awhile now and the best way to keep them from not spoiling quickly is to immediately vacuum seal the powder, milk powder sealed lasts a while but it lasts a fraction as long if its opened. Throw the vacuum-sealed powder packs you've made into the box they came in if you want to preserve the instructions, nutritional information and original expiration dates. That's tip 1. For tip 2, I don't recall if Jason mentioned it explicitly (and it looks like he does this himself) but once you combine all your dry ingredients for your seasoned coater, just leave it in a sealed container in the pantry. Jason makes a lot of coater in his video which is great if you are pouring it into a lot of surface area (like a big, deep, pan) to coat the chicken but portioning it out of that pre-mixed container and getting just what you need to cover the chicken in something like a dinner bowl or ramen bowl will save you a ton of time when you want to re-use it. Just remember to add in that milk wash into the portion of dry ingredients you're going to use to get those craggy, crunchy skin in your final product, and remember that you do have un-sealed dried milk powder in your dry coater so don't forget it for too long. But it should last a few months in your pantry, just store it away from sunlight.
Where has this channel been all my life. Easy to follow instructions, amazing commentary on cool facts about the recipe, and overall strong delivery. Thank you youtube recommended for showing me this amazing man's content!!
Dude, you REALLY nailed this one. I found this video while just playing around with my own homemade chicken finger recipe. Followed this exactly a few times and was able to replicate it exactly -- nails CFA flavor! And the milk powder is just a great tip for breading/frying anything!
If you really want to go over the top, throw some pork rinds into a blender and blend, then replace 1/2 of the flour with the powdered pork rinds. No pork flavor. You're welcome! :)

Hahah the Bless Your Heart regarding folks who are scared of MSG. Love it. Really respect all the research you put into these videos. I need to update my (Vegan) Chick-fil-A recipe and will definitely take some of this into account! I really love cornstarch and baking powder in my dry dredge even if it's not authentic though!
haha! I was hoping there would be some fellow Southerners to appreciate the dig!! I love your channel, by the way! I've seen a ton of your videos! I even saved a few of your thumbnails to use as inspiration!
I made this today for my wife and sister. And wow is it soooo good. Exact taste of chick fil a, but i used extra high quality ingredients and followed this to a tee. You are an amazing researcher and i thank you greatly for this recipe!
20 years ago, I worked for a company that produced the breast fillets. The breast meat was tumbled in a drum mixer with dry ingredients only (no water was added). This formed a coating on the product due to the natural moisture on the chicken. The product was then packed and frozen.
Would you happen to have an idea of how much cayenne to use to make their spicy version, please?? No matter how much I use, it just never seems to get "spicy" like theirs!
Last night I prepped and brined my chicken. I should have prepped the seasoned coater too. Live and learn. Today, Sunday, I followed all the instructions exactly except I should have gotten a deep fryer. I opted to use my dutch oven. It was certainly delicious. Those pickles are exactly the same flavor. My family did like them and I made a little more for leftovers. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. 😊
Ive always been curious when labels just say "spices". The way you broke down what the gov't does and does not considers spices, then eliminating them based on flavor profile like it's a game of 'guess who', was diabolically genius! Kudos, you've got yourself another loyal subscriber 😋
Sir I have tried almost all of your recipes and my friend you are onto something and please keep them coming. You are making my life easier with my kids. Thank you
I tried it and I personally found it a little TOO sweet and salty. Although I marinated my chicken for 24 hours instead of 6-8 hours because I got busy, so it's possible I let the chicken absorb TOO MUCH flavor.
Yea this is my new favorite cooking channel. The format/ filming formula and script is.. The perfect combination. Can't thank you enough for simplifying the process. Just watched fried rice and lo mein videos as well. Gonna be eating really good from now on lol
I just made it…. Not even half way into eating my sandwich and dude….. THANK. YOU. For your research. This is BEYOND accurate. Where I live, we don’t have a chick fil a… we have to drive 6+ hours to eat at one so we really look forward to it. I am SO happy I decided to try this recipe. 10/10. Thank you thank you THANK YOU
I made this and followed the recipe exactly for a group of eleven tonight, and it turned out AMAZING. Thank you for the recipe it was fantastic, and tasted just like Chick-fil-A!
Well, having made this and tried it both fresh and from the chicken frozen I can say truly amazing my wife came home from work today and literally said “my leftover chicken sandwich is all that got me through the morning to lunch”.
This is amazing. After watching his other videos using baking soda, I have adapted the brine to use baking soda instead of salt so I don’t have to worry about cooking it in 24 hours. I add salt the afternoon I am going to cook. It’s great and now I have to “just say no” when I want to eat chicken every day of the week. I thought I knew how to cook chicken, Ha!
You rock. Recipe videos are a dime a dozen, but few actually go through the "why" and science behind them. Yours is one of only three channels I can think of who do this. Amazing. Keep it up! Subscribed.
I live in Okinawa and there is not a Chick-fil-A anywhere around here. I just tried this recipe and it was perfect thank you so much for all of your hard work. I will be having this at least once a month!!!!
Hi Jason, love your videos that use Walmart ingredients! As a cook who is unskilled and unwilling to hunt all over for specialty ingredients, your Walmart videos make me feel like I can actually do them. I hope they get popular enough for you to make more of them!
I just tried this! I did nuggets instead of the sandwich, and out of all of the recipes I’ve tried this is the one! This recipe tastes just like Chick fil a if not better. This will be my permanent recipe from now on.
Made this today, followed it exactly except for the pickle brand, had to settle for store brand. The sandwich was amazing, wife said it tasted better than C.F. , a definite keeper recipe. Next time I may go half on the egg/milk bath as there was alot left over. Nice job on this recipe!
That is awesome!! I'm really happy you all enjoyed it!! You're the first person who has let me know you tested it out!! Thank you for letting me know and tell your family I say hello!!
I love that this channel is growing so much. I'll certainly be trying this out. I just hate deep frying in my house (too much smoke). I did make the chicken fried rice minus the chicken and it was amazing. Thanks again!
Love this video. It’s my introduction to you and your channel and as a connoisseur of YT chef content I have to say you are top notch. I can’t wait to make this for my wife and daughter who both love Chick-fil-A. On a Sunday of course 😉
Just made these!! Oh my goodness!! So so so good!! Thank you for the recipe breakdown!! Never had a chick fil a chicken sandwich but I’m sure they are not as good as the ones I made!! Even without the MSG, it was delicious 🤤 God bless my soul!! Thank you Jason for the recipe! You rock!!
Gotta say, most of these you tube recipe's don't work out for me, but this was dead on!!! Excellent job doing the research and trial and error. This is as close as it ever needs to be. I can't tell the difference. Thank you.
This video screams "person who watched many other videos that did not simply explain the steps." Thank you for showing the exact amount of which ingredients to use. This is truly the ultimate guide.
Bravo Jason! Great video, well-researched. I cannot wait to try it very soon. One note - while in the drive-thru line one morning for a Chick-Fil-A breakfast, I noticed a Klosterman Bakery truck delivering the buns. I would start there if you really wanted to nail the bun. Regarding sauce, I absolutely love their Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce (it comes in packets, not dippers). Better than the Chick-Fil-A Sauce, in my opinion. You can get very close to this sauce by mixing Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ Sauce and Kraft mayonnaise. I use Kraft as there is less yolk, providing a much milder taste. Keep up the great work! Pretty soon, you will have millions of subs!
Thanks for that info! I legit couldn't find any information on where they got their buns online. I talked to a few workers in real life but they didn't really give me any info on the buns! I really appreciate you!!
@@farmageddon A regional bakery provided my store's buns under the Sunbeam brand. A 4-inch white hamburger bun is very basic and follows the "No frills..." motto from Chick-fil-A back in the day. I think it would be hard to tell the difference between buns made at different bakeries, so it's not surprising that different companies provide the buns.
So first, congrats on the 100,000. Second, why do I have a feeling this might be as successful as the fried rice video. I am so happy I have been watching for almost a couple years when you had a couple thousand subs. So happy for you!!!!
Hey Jason great video. I actually work for one of the poultry companies that supplies meat to chick fil a, and the marinade (brine) is actually made by McCormick so if people want to be super specific they can try use only McCormick spices. And the chicken breast does get cut to size depending on how big the breast was usually it is like okay with this breast I can get this fillet and the rest I can get say 3 nuggets out of it and cuts it to size.
Dante! Thank you SO MUCH for this! It's extremely helpful! I'm totally going to address this when I do the nuggets video!! THANK YOU!! I really appreciate your help!!
Jason, we have to have bigger chickens here. When they say everything's bigger in Texas, they do mean everything! On a side note, for those of you looking to deep fry at home, I can't recommend using a wok enough. I do a lot of katsu for Japanese curry and the like, and when I heard that suggestion on youtube I was an instant convert.
Just made this and wow it was amazing! Made 9 sandwiches and had plenty for the family plus leftovers. Would love to see if I can make nuggets with this same recipe
Made these tonight for dinner and to us it tasted just like chick fil a. My kids requested it be made weekly 😂 thanks for the videos. Also made your fried rice and lo mein recipes…delicious!!
I never had popeyes chicken or chic fil a but i made a mix of both techniques and popped them in the airfryer, and I am here to tell you I am so shocked, best chicken I have ever made. Thank you so much ! I finally nailed it! Tender, juicy, flavorful chicken breast. Just wow pinch me I am dreaming🥰 (i’ve struggled for years).
I tried this tonight and I would say the flavor is pretty spot on! I think I did a tad too much seeding so mine was extra flaky and crunchy but that’s not a bad thing in my opinion! I’m interested to put the chicken in the brine and freeze it too keep on hand for a later time.
You are the Nilered of cooking. Except! instead of nearly unobtainable lab equipment and chemicals, you source all ingredients from Walmart just to make it more difficult for yourself, but easy for us! Wonderful format and phenomenal videos! You’ll be at 1M in no time.
We don't have Chik-FilA in Australia, but if this recipe is half as good as your fried rice recipe, then i'm definitely down to try it. I have been making your fried rice for around 3 weeks now and just today after I had it for lunch I said to myself i'll never have to order chicken fried rice ever again so thanks heaps for that recipe!!!
Awesome video! VERY well researched and you did a lot of work so the rest of us can simply enjoy. I'll be trying this out over the New year holiday! Happy New Year!
Man I really appreciate how you reused some ingredients from one process to another like the milk powder, so many recipes nowadays require such unique items that I'm afraid to buy since I fear i'll waste them but I greatly appreciate how you did that here, thanks bro.

I love your channel, by the way! I've seen a ton of your videos! I even saved a few of your thumbnails to use as inspiration!
I made this today for my wife and sister. And wow is it soooo good. Exact taste of chick fil a, but i used extra high quality ingredients and followed this to a tee. You are an amazing researcher and i thank you greatly for this recipe!
That’s awesome! I’m really happy you all enjoyed it! Tell your family I say hello!
20 years ago, I worked for a company that produced the breast fillets. The breast meat was tumbled in a drum mixer with dry ingredients only (no water was added). This formed a coating on the product due to the natural moisture on the chicken. The product was then packed and frozen.
Thank you for this information!! I’ll include a dry brine in my next comparison! I sincerely appreciate you!
Would you happen to have an idea of how much cayenne to use to make their spicy version, please?? No matter how much I use, it just never seems to get "spicy" like theirs!
I tried this tonight and it turned out perfectly! I was amazed at how close it is in taste and texture to the real deal.
I'm glad you liked it!
That complement to the workers at the end is why I’m subscribing to you at the end
Last night I prepped and brined my chicken. I should have prepped the seasoned coater too. Live and learn.
Today, Sunday, I followed all the instructions exactly except I should have gotten a deep fryer. I opted to use my dutch oven.
It was certainly delicious. Those pickles are exactly the same flavor.
My family did like them and I made a little more for leftovers.
Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. 😊
Ive always been curious when labels just say "spices".
The way you broke down what the gov't does and does not considers spices, then eliminating them based on flavor profile like it's a game of 'guess who', was diabolically genius!
Kudos, you've got yourself another loyal subscriber 😋
Sir I have tried almost all of your recipes and my friend you are onto something and please keep them coming. You are making my life easier with my kids. Thank you
i need to try this!! thanks jason 🔥
My pleasure! :)
I tried it and I personally found it a little TOO sweet and salty. Although I marinated my chicken for 24 hours instead of 6-8 hours because I got busy, so it's possible I let the chicken absorb TOO MUCH flavor.
@@redgroupclan ....obviously, yes.
I've never had one, but the clone looked great.@@farmageddon
Jesus loves you and may God bless you
Never ever ever stop making UA-cam videos, these are amazing, you are the best good youtuber I have ever seen. Never stop
Thank you, Ryan. That really means a lot! I sincerely appreciate you!!
Yea this is my new favorite cooking channel. The format/ filming formula and script is.. The perfect combination. Can't thank you enough for simplifying the process. Just watched fried rice and lo mein videos as well.
Gonna be eating really good from now on lol
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos!
I just made it…. Not even half way into eating my sandwich and dude….. THANK. YOU. For your research. This is BEYOND accurate. Where I live, we don’t have a chick fil a… we have to drive 6+ hours to eat at one so we really look forward to it. I am SO happy I decided to try this recipe. 10/10. Thank you thank you THANK YOU
My pleasure! I’m glad y’all liked it!
Made this tonight. I can’t tell the difference between this and Chick Fil A. Absolutely best version of this I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried several.
Jason, you've outdone yourself with this one. Huge respect for the amount of work you put into these videos, can't wait to try this out.
I made this and followed the recipe exactly for a group of eleven tonight, and it turned out AMAZING. Thank you for the recipe it was fantastic, and tasted just like Chick-fil-A!
That is marvelous!! I'm really happy you all enjoyed it!
Well, having made this and tried it both fresh and from the chicken frozen I can say truly amazing
my wife came home from work today and literally said “my leftover chicken sandwich is all that got me through the morning to lunch”.
No matter what the recipe is, Jason's videos are a joy to watch!! This is art
This is amazing. After watching his other videos using baking soda, I have adapted the brine to use baking soda instead of salt so I don’t have to worry about cooking it in 24 hours. I add salt the afternoon I am going to cook. It’s great and now I have to “just say no” when I want to eat chicken every day of the week. I thought I knew how to cook chicken, Ha!
We don't have Chick-fil-A here, but you can be sure I'm trying this recipe today. Thank you for another amazing video!
Having learned what “bless your heart” means, I appreciate your use in this video. 👏🏻
You rock. Recipe videos are a dime a dozen, but few actually go through the "why" and science behind them. Yours is one of only three channels I can think of who do this. Amazing. Keep it up! Subscribed.
I live in Okinawa and there is not a Chick-fil-A anywhere around here. I just tried this recipe and it was perfect thank you so much for all of your hard work. I will be having this at least once a month!!!!
Pleasure to be of service! Glad you liked the recipe!
Hi Jason, love your videos that use Walmart ingredients! As a cook who is unskilled and unwilling to hunt all over for specialty ingredients, your Walmart videos make me feel like I can actually do them. I hope they get popular enough for you to make more of them!
This is possibly one of the most thought out video I have ever watched. Amazing content. Very professionally done and researched.
Thanks Jason, have to try this new brine on Sundays of course
I just tried this! I did nuggets instead of the sandwich, and out of all of the recipes I’ve tried this is the one! This recipe tastes just like Chick fil a if not better. This will be my permanent recipe from now on.
Nice! I'm glad you liked it!
For buns, I saw at a college food court Chick-fil-a they just used Aunt Millies buns which are widely available at Walmart as well.
Thank you for this info!
Made this today, followed it exactly except for the pickle brand, had to settle for store brand. The sandwich was amazing, wife said it tasted better than C.F. , a definite keeper recipe. Next time I may go half on the egg/milk bath as there was alot left over. Nice job on this recipe!
That is awesome!! I'm really happy you all enjoyed it!! You're the first person who has let me know you tested it out!! Thank you for letting me know and tell your family I say hello!!
I think you might be the chosen one to take up the final challenge of reverse-engineering food: the Coca-Cola recipe.
What a great idea! That would be a tough one!!
I love that this channel is growing so much. I'll certainly be trying this out. I just hate deep frying in my house (too much smoke).
I did make the chicken fried rice minus the chicken and it was amazing. Thanks again!
I would LOVE to see you do a Pad Thai for your take-out series!!! You continue to be my favorite chef on this site, thank you for making these!
Thank you! Really nice to see you again! I'll definitely be doing a Pad Thai video in the future!
Love this video. It’s my introduction to you and your channel and as a connoisseur of YT chef content I have to say you are top notch. I can’t wait to make this for my wife and daughter who both love Chick-fil-A. On a Sunday of course 😉
Thanks, Adam! Tell your family I say hello!!
Just made these!! Oh my goodness!! So so so good!! Thank you for the recipe breakdown!! Never had a chick fil a chicken sandwich but I’m sure they are not as good as the ones I made!! Even without the MSG, it was delicious 🤤 God bless my soul!! Thank you Jason for the recipe! You rock!!
Nice of you to show some respect to the workers. Appreciate it.
Gotta say, most of these you tube recipe's don't work out for me, but this was dead on!!! Excellent job doing the research and trial and error. This is as close as it ever needs to be. I can't tell the difference. Thank you.
You've done so much research and testing for this I can't not give you a like. Thank you so much!
My buddy and I eat at Chick-fil-a so much they know our names. I can't wait to try this!
This video screams "person who watched many other videos that did not simply explain the steps."
Thank you for showing the exact amount of which ingredients to use. This is truly the ultimate guide.
It’s amazing to see how you come up with these unique recipes. Keep up the good work, Jason. We know you’ll make it farther.
As a 3 year veteran of CFA (aside from not knowing the exact seasoning) this recipe/method seems pretty dang accurate.
You’re changing my food life one video at a time.
Bravo Jason! Great video, well-researched. I cannot wait to try it very soon. One note - while in the drive-thru line one morning for a Chick-Fil-A breakfast, I noticed a Klosterman Bakery truck delivering the buns. I would start there if you really wanted to nail the bun.
Regarding sauce, I absolutely love their Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce (it comes in packets, not dippers). Better than the Chick-Fil-A Sauce, in my opinion. You can get very close to this sauce by mixing Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ Sauce and Kraft mayonnaise. I use Kraft as there is less yolk, providing a much milder taste.
Keep up the great work! Pretty soon, you will have millions of subs!
Thanks for that info! I legit couldn't find any information on where they got their buns online. I talked to a few workers in real life but they didn't really give me any info on the buns!
I really appreciate you!!
@@farmageddon A regional bakery provided my store's buns under the Sunbeam brand. A 4-inch white hamburger bun is very basic and follows the "No frills..." motto from Chick-fil-A back in the day. I think it would be hard to tell the difference between buns made at different bakeries, so it's not surprising that different companies provide the buns.
So first, congrats on the 100,000. Second, why do I have a feeling this might be as successful as the fried rice video. I am so happy I have been watching for almost a couple years when you had a couple thousand subs. So happy for you!!!!
Hey, thanks a lot! I really appreciate your support! It really means a lot!!
Gave this a shot tonight and it was fantastic! Thanks so much for the recipe.
This was so comprehensive and organized. Great content! Keep it up
Another great video! I love how you add just enough comical comments to keep things extra fun! Great job!
Hey Jason great video. I actually work for one of the poultry companies that supplies meat to chick fil a, and the marinade (brine) is actually made by McCormick so if people want to be super specific they can try use only McCormick spices. And the chicken breast does get cut to size depending on how big the breast was usually it is like okay with this breast I can get this fillet and the rest I can get say 3 nuggets out of it and cuts it to size.
Dante! Thank you SO MUCH for this! It's extremely helpful! I'm totally going to address this when I do the nuggets video!! THANK YOU!! I really appreciate your help!!
Hey Jason when is your chick fil a nuggets video coming out ? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jason, we have to have bigger chickens here. When they say everything's bigger in Texas, they do mean everything!
On a side note, for those of you looking to deep fry at home, I can't recommend using a wok enough. I do a lot of katsu for Japanese curry and the like, and when I heard that suggestion on youtube I was an instant convert.
Yes!! Another incredible recipe! Thank you so so much for the knowledge and methods, best cooking channel without a doubt
This is helpful. I live in Maine but I'm from texas. Chic filet is hard to find, and even if it isn't there's Sunday ... Thank you for this
Just made this and wow it was amazing! Made 9 sandwiches and had plenty for the family plus leftovers. Would love to see if I can make nuggets with this same recipe
Yeah, the nuggets are the exact same recipe. They're just cut up!
And he even drops Snoop quotes! Love this guy
Made these tonight for dinner and to us it tasted just like chick fil a. My kids requested it be made weekly 😂 thanks for the videos. Also made your fried rice and lo mein recipes…delicious!!
That’s amazing, Leslie! Tell your kids I say what’s up!
I made his and my daughter is OBSESSED! Thank you!❤
Another masterpiece, Mr Farmer. I've enjoyed all your videos and learned so much.
Thank you, David! I really appreciate you!!
I never had popeyes chicken or chic fil a but i made a mix of both techniques and popped them in the airfryer, and I am here to tell you I am so shocked, best chicken I have ever made. Thank you so much ! I finally nailed it! Tender, juicy, flavorful chicken breast. Just wow pinch me I am dreaming🥰 (i’ve struggled for years).
Pleasure to be of service! Glad you like it!
Made this today and wow, it was great! Thanks for figuring this one out for us.
I tried this tonight and I would say the flavor is pretty spot on! I think I did a tad too much seeding so mine was extra flaky and crunchy but that’s not a bad thing in my opinion! I’m interested to put the chicken in the brine and freeze it too keep on hand for a later time.
I'm from Atlanta GA, home of Chick-fil-A. The flavor of this recipe is spot on. Chick-fil-A on Sundays is a go boys!
You are the Nilered of cooking. Except! instead of nearly unobtainable lab equipment and chemicals, you source all ingredients from Walmart just to make it more difficult for yourself, but easy for us! Wonderful format and phenomenal videos! You’ll be at 1M in no time.
thank you very much! I sincerely appreciate that!
Wow!😮 I’m gonna try your recipe.😊
I don't normally compliment creators but YOU are the tastiest channel.
Another awesome video Jason! I’ll have to give this method a try and report back haha.
Charlie! What's up, brother! Thanks a lot! I loved your new video, too!
Just tried it.. LOVE IT!!!!
Thanks for all of the extra hints too 😁
Your channel and recipes are amazing. Thanks for everything, please keep it up!
I made these today for my family, and we were blown away, it's bonkers how similar they tast, and in our opinion, better.
Nice! I’m glad y’all liked them!
We don't have Chik-FilA in Australia, but if this recipe is half as good as your fried rice recipe, then i'm definitely down to try it. I have been making your fried rice for around 3 weeks now and just today after I had it for lunch I said to myself i'll never have to order chicken fried rice ever again so thanks heaps for that recipe!!!
Hello! Thank you so much, mate! Sending you much love from Texas!!
@@farmageddon hes right you know!! thank very much for sharing your recipes to us and doing your research we appreciate you!
Awesome video! VERY well researched and you did a lot of work so the rest of us can simply enjoy. I'll be trying this out over the New year holiday! Happy New Year!
Brilliant as always. Many thanks for this plus all the recipes you do. Love your channel!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate you!
Love ❤️ your scientific approach to food.
Wow Jason. Like I couldn't love you more because of the Benihana secrets....now Chick-fil-a ! I am making this tomorrow.
Well bless your heart. I wonder how they season and make their chicken Every time I eat one. I'm going to try this at home for sure. TY!
Appreciate your hard work
Man I really appreciate how you reused some ingredients from one process to another like the milk powder, so many recipes nowadays require such unique items that I'm afraid to buy since I fear i'll waste them but I greatly appreciate how you did that here, thanks bro.
9:30 "I don't know how long that is in metric time"
I choked on my coffee laughing at this. Great video
I gotta sub on the sheer effort put into this video alone.
Well done.
I wonder what Benjamin Franklin would say to this sandwich?
A penny saved is a penny earned!
what do you say to yours?
