      Something you should know about cooking is you don’t have to follow every recipe verbatim. You can substitute stuff, buy all purpose seasonings instead of individual, get pre-mixed biscuit dough, whatever makes it easier and most importantly more enjoyable.

Along with going shopping for all the ingredients from just one video. As well as all the different machines/equipment. If you don't have most of these things already, it would cost a FORTUNE. Loads more than going the fast food route, or even just getting frozen, readymade food that you can throw in to an air fryer for a few minutes, and call it good. I can't imagine that you'd even have space for everything in a regular kitchen let alone a college dorm.

    Hey Josh, these biscuits look amazing and one bit of data I got from my grandma back in the day that might help someone is when you are cutting your biscuits its important to cut straight down and not do any twisting of the cutter as it will keep them from rising as well. you are 100% right about just getting the dough together and nothing more, the more you mess with it the worse they come out.

      If it takes you all day to fry 8 pieces of chicken I don't know what to tell you.
      Well, let me try to tell you -
      The key to saving time in the kitchen is learning to manage your time well. Idle hands and all. A stove has four burners. Use them and cook 2-3 items at a time with biscuits in the oven.
      Cooking this all at the same time takes maybe 45 minutes. Less depending on how you handle making the biscuits.

    • @nandapudo
      @nandapudo 2 года назад +2

      Fast food is synonymous of bad food. Besides who knows how to cook; don't spend all day cooking! As someone mention is all about managing your time. Starts with what takes longer and while it's cooking you can cook something else. Also have everything on hand and cut it before.

  • @masterlaughter4924

    I worked at popeyes and the chicken actually isnt marinated in buttermilk, they just season it with msg and garlic powder, then its drenched in a wash containing egg and milk powder, then floured and fried at 375 for 12.5 min, the secret i would say is letting ur chicken sit in that seasoning for at least 2 hours, now…. The tenders actually are put in a buttermilk bath/puddle and is seasoned like the chicken, then is battered and floured, then fried at the same temp for 4.5 min. They use industrial fryers but u can mimic them without that large of a scale by doing smaller batches and letting ur oil come back to temp.

      Also i love this red beans recipe but I personally like to sauté my sausages and add them at the end so the taste of the beans and the sausages aren’t homogenized by cooking in the same liquid for a long period of time. I think it adds a little texture to the flavor profile of the dish.

    Hey Josh
    I've been watching your videos since before you blew up back when you did your sourdough series several years ago. The reason why I still watch and will continue is your techniques and your choice of ingredients. I see a lot of requests all the time to "simplify" or to use cups instead of grams and a ton of other nonsense. If people want that there's other channels for that.
    Please keep making top tier foods the way you always do with top tier ingredients. I've made a ton of your recipes. From your sourdough to your Hakaido buns and various chicken recipes. You cannot simplify recipes and expect them to be even remotely the same.

    I like the "But Better" series, but just a thought on something that might make it even better! I think it would be super interesting to not only see the final recipe, but to also see your process of trying to figure out how to make a better version of that food. I'm sure there were instances where you were trying out ideas, or experimented with certain methods, that either didn't work out or lead you down the path to the final product. Rather than just being a video of you making something and saying that its better than the original, I think that this can add a lot of depth, entertainment value and relatability to these videos. Again, these videos are great, but I cant help but think they can be taken a step further

    I'm just gonna tell ya, biscuits rise more in limited space. Put them in a well greased cast iron skillet and let them touch. They will rise up taller.
    Also, the easiest biscuits to make that are very tasty ... put about 3 or 4 cups of self rising flour in a large wide bowl ( I use a wide metal mixing bowl . ) make a fist and start pressing the flour from the middle until it starts rising up along the sides of the bowl. You want the flour to line the bowl so it makes a well in the middle. You want the flour to stay up along the sides, so press it in firm.
    Then you get about a quarter cup of
    shortening or lard and drop that in the bottom, and then about a cup or 2 of milk or buttermilk. With your fingers just start squeazing that shortening/lard in the milk until it is blended into the milk. Then you just start rotating your hand, slowly encorperating the flour into the wet mixture until it starts making a nice soft dough. It should be pillowy , and not too firm. Then you take medium sized balls, roll them in your hand with a little fliur if it's too sticky and place them into a well greased cast iron skillet. Fill the skillet, and then put into the oven - about 400 or 425. Start checking them in about 15/20 minutes. They should rise very well and turn a beautiful golden color. You can take them out part way and coat them in melted butter and then let them finish cooking. They are so good, no rolling out and cutting.

      tbh, I followed his ingredients and everything was kind of meh. He's made better biscuits on his channel before (I recommend the flakey af buttermilk biscuits as they're easy and really delicious), his chicken's breading was underseasoned compared to what I expect from Popeye's, and his macaroni and cheese was...creamy macaroni with some very slight cheddar flavor and raw garlic.
