Love it when a man knows how to cook for his family , and you can see that he puts a lot of love into it .
Tical, you TALK tomorrow much
Dam that kitchen is HUGE…
Hi! this is the best fried chicken recipe ever! I saw in your other video you said seed oil is not healthy. That’s why I only cook with lard, tallow, chicken fat, butter or ghee. I usually avoid fried foods(seed oils ) but your recipe looks so delicious I will fry the chicken in lard or tallow. I learned something new today like slicing the meat between the bone. Thanks for sharing generously all your techniques. You’re very thorough in explaining so people can’t fail with the recipe it’s too bad some people are impatient and don’t appreciate you’re helpful and kind. Thanks again!
If anyone wasn't sure what he's cooking, it's chicken thighs!
Don’t forget to skim off all the foam build up.
It takes 37 minutes to give 5 minutes of information. If people need to hear something 4-5-6-7 times, they can simply replay it. I heard that you were cooking 2 kg of chicken eight times before I moved on to something else.
very nice, looks delicious, Can I use Garlic powder instead of chopped garlic?
perfectly done. Nice job, can't wait too try. Thank you for sharing.
