The Juicy, Crispy Fried Chicken You Don’t Get at KFC

Tender and juicy meat with a light and crispy skin - this is the Cantonese answer to fried chicken. Silas Li, a chef who specializes in Cantonese cuisine, shows us how he makes this classic dish. It looked super complicated, but we tried it! Did we succeed?

"Chef in Hong Kong"...chef opens his mouth and the broadest London Cockney accent comes out! 💯🤣

[@WhereToFind]

Well hong kong was under British rule up until 1997

[@retahdude]

@@WhereToFind yeah until Jun Tao left and fled to the US then got his ass kicked by Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. Brush up on your history mate.

[@vlgr8ter]

I could be wrong, but it looks like Chef Silas added the marinade/rub on the inside cage of the chicken whilst you guys rubbed it on the outside skin of the chicken. This could explain why your skin looked so spotty and different in comparison.
Also the part where he says 'Where you from?!' hahahaha too good.

[@julianwong4522]

Also i didnt see the part where they put the chicken in a low boiping hot oil for 10-15 mins

[@kyleg334]

I came say the same thing.

[@WhereToFind]

@@julianwong4522 they did at 3:13

[@mrtarzan7078]

The moisture from the salt might’ve ruined the skin(also that’s why he said it’s saltier)

[@MuhammadIrfan-wm3kc]

Good

[@m.usmankhan3203]

Great effort❤

[@HamdanJi879]

Wow that's great work

[@penguinpingu3807]

"It's so easy that everyone can make do it."
Thing takes millions of steps.
This is the asian parent quote.

[@solopolo]

This is one dish that I will gladly have at a good restaurant

[@aishariaz9346]

Great work

[@saichung6246]

One of the dishes you can't get here in Canada. I crave it so often.

[@cdnsilverdaddy]

Yes you can in Vancouver and Richmond… best Chinese food outside of Asia

[@borobdin]

Good news, you can make it at home!

[@memasavvy6789]

Chef Silas: Its not that difficult to make. Anyone can do this at home.
Me: Uh, no thanks.

[@rabiasaeed3898]

Looks so yummy can't wait to try the recipe

[@user-zi1gp5ol4r]

Looks so yummy😋

[@TScott-zx8gt]

Would love to know what the seasonings are for the marinade.

[@edwardkay3193]

Typical Chinese 5 spice powder

[@TScott-zx8gt]

@@edwardkay3193 And what else? They had several spices there.

[@aceman2790]

Suger salt pepper five spice garlic salt 😊

[@christinachan4100]

I think he meant baking soda...baking powder would not give you the result you're wanting.

[@JonathanStanley]

The seasoning just goes in the cavity, not on the skin... but otherwise good job!

[@maplelief_dreaming]

I'd prefer not to try it, cleanup seems like a nightmare

[@MrsKhan-so1md]

Wow I must will try this recipe

[@OsmanGhani-py2eu]

Looks so yummy🤩

[@TheZachary86]

Easy? 🤔

[@godsama959]

They butchered the lacquering, so the skin came up terrible.

[@lifewithmarium1871]

it looks great ❤

[@Mesdddddd]

I had the so called “best” fried Chicken in NY & LA and it is nothing compared to this style of fried chicken

[@edwardkay3193]

Those are with batter. Don't compare styles. If it's good, just eat it.

[@disarchitected]

Lol, this chef has been doing this for too long, that IS complicated.

[@ZahidKhan-zn7pp]
