Sam is THE ONLY chef who'll admit if something like McDonald's is good and not be indenial about it. Unlike some other chefs.. just prove why he's the GOAT of all the Chefs on RUclips, super down to earth lad
right, Mcds has been around for years nearly everyone has been to one and has gone back many times... but yeah it all sucks... it is what is and generally never tries to be anything else.
He's always catered to stoners though. His channel is mainly food entertainment. Not recipes the average viewer is going to attempt. Unlike Brian Lagerstrom or Kenji. Nothing wrong with that it's just not easy to compare them.
I didn't even know Sam had a RUclips channel. I grew up watching him on my local community broadcast at like 6 or 7am before I had to go to school. He made me want to try all kinds of different foods! Looking forward to continuing my cooking Journey with Sam!
One of my favorite takeaways from Sam's vids that I use quite often are his different sauces. A lot of them have so many applications. I end up making some containers just to use throughout the week lol.
I'm curious, how do you decide when to use flour and corn starch, when to use baking powder and baking soda, when to make a batter like this, when to use eggs.. In general, could you do a tutorial on frying stuff, perhaps chicken in particular, but a chicken fried steak wouldn't be amiss.
THIS! is why I cook most all our meals at home! thank you for this. my granddaughter and i will be making these soon. and yes i am teaching my granddaughter to cook.
My husband and I are big fans! We started watching your show about 5 months ago. I broke my Ankle 4 weeks ago so I have binge watched your show for the last month. You guys are awesome and so fun to watch! Keep up the laughs and the delicious recipes. We made your Salisbury steak recipe...YUMMMMMY! THANK YOU! Your friends from Florida
Haven’t had McDonalds or any fast food in about three years. These look fantastic. I keep saying I’m going to make them, I will now. Love all 4 of the sauces.
My family loves your sauces. Ever since we saw you make ranch dressing (several years ago) we never went back to store bought. I just made all 3 of these for tenders and they were excellent. Thank you!
No. It didn't taste like McDonald's, but it was good enough that we didn't need sauce. I liked it with mostly regular paprika with a little smoked paprika and a little less onions and garlic. My family and friends loved it.
Question kind sir... What if you took it next level and used Seltzer water... Instead of tap water? Should make nice air pockets to level up the crunch...
I love how you're nothing like the other cooks on RUclips that feel it necessary to just bash the name brand product that they're trying to emulate just to make themselves feel better about what they put out. You actually praised the McNugget and then made your version. Classy and that's why I solely rely on your recipes and experiments now!
I bet a lot of the comments are on the yummy factor of the food or the banter. And well deserved. But the production quality of the videos is a maz ing. And it’s consistently amazing. Well done boys with all the work that goes into the amazing videos.
I cooked Sam's spice bag for the second time this week. After eating the recipe twice I totally believe the crunch is honest and this chicken looks as if it might be twice as crispy as the salted chilli chicken. I might have to combine the two and test just how awesome it might be 😎
I might have processed the chicken too much so next time, I'll make the pulses a bit shorter. That said, this was really good! I added panko to the mixture and that added a bit of extra crunch. Sam, it is YOUR FAULT 😄 that I've started using my air fryer, my Instant Pot and getting into the kitchen and making something! I'm a member of Les Marmitons International, a men's cooking group, and combined with that group and your tutorials...I"m in the kitchen! Thanks
Thank you for this!! I usually make chicken tenders with knock off Long John Silver batter; they are delicious. I never thought about homemade nuggies. They turned out great, so much more filling than my fav McD's nuggies. We now have a baggie of nuggies in the freezer for a very easy and quick meal. We really enjoy your channel, keep up the good work!
@@Virtuenow I am sure I found the LJS batter on RUclips. 3/4 cup AP flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/4 tsp each of baking soda, baking powder, salt. Mix in about 3/4 cup of water.
@Kristie Parker oh I see. I was hoping for a quicker alternative. One that I could take out of freezer, and pop into the toaster oven and it's done fast; for the kids on days after school. I wonder if I can fry, cool completely then freeze them? Thanks anyway
I’ve tried these a couple ways in a similar way, 85/15 split white to dark meat.. Add white pepper and msg while blending the chicken made a huge difference in flavor, thanks for sharing!! Amazing video as always
There are actual names for the four (if I recall correctly from 30 years ago as a manager) shapes. I am sure it is on the internet someplace but I remember one is “The Boot”.
I just made some boneless thighs tenders the other day. My dry flour mix is almost the sane as yours, except I used roasted garlic powder. Then I drag them through and egg and worchester wash and coat with seasoned bread crumbs. Shallow fried in extra light virgin olive oil.
The nuggets were really good in the 90’s… I’d love a recipe that mimics that version (they had both dark meat and white meat nuggets - yum). I would order all dark meat usually. Maybe I’ll try with this recipe 🤔

most of them can admit it. you only know this one. Guy could'nt make better tnuggets than mcdonalds despite spending $ and time
@@mikeh4613 eh, I made a better MCchicken at home that blindfolded wouldn’t be able to tell a difference
but maybe some just dont like mcdonalds we dunno

One thing I’ve learned is to never watch Sam The Cooking Guy………. On an empty stomach 😂😂😂
There are four shapes of Chicken McNuggets. They are known as the Bell, the Ball, the Boot, and the Bow Tie.
Bone, not Bow Tie, but I can see how it could be seen as the other as well.
I'm curious, how do you decide when to use flour and corn starch, when to use baking powder and baking soda, when to make a batter like this, when to use eggs.. In general, could you do a tutorial on frying stuff, perhaps chicken in particular, but a chicken fried steak wouldn't be amiss.
Or you could could do your own research and learn something new everyday.

Stay safe with Helene over there in Florida

Sam, you're so dang likeable. Thanks for these great recipes in a fun to view format. Don't ever change!
he's a pothead. you ever meet an unchill pothead? nope! lmao
I always love seeing the senator from Metal Gear cooking.
The conversion of spiced dredge to batter was a stroke of genius, Sammy. Great work as always 👍
That's pretty common nowadays.
That's basic cooking knowledge
I worked at mcdonalds for a few years & one of the nugget presets is 1000% a mini USA lol.
My family loves your sauces. Ever since we saw you make ranch dressing (several years ago) we never went back to store bought. I just made all 3 of these for tenders and they were excellent. Thank you!
I tried this chicken nugget recipe today and they turned out great.
Did it taste like McDonald’s?
No. It didn't taste like McDonald's, but it was good enough that we didn't need sauce. I liked it with mostly regular paprika with a little smoked paprika and a little less onions and garlic. My family and friends loved it.
@@kjwis7576 thanks!

AMAZING…. MUST TRY 😇👍🏾👏🏽
OF COURSE I WOULD SEASON THE RAW CHCKEN MIX BEFORE SHAPING.
GREAT JOB MAN 👌🏾👏🏽❤️

Ahhhh... chili prawn crunch. I was in heaven when I found that condiment.
I'll definitely be doing this it's so simple and will be a welcome addition to my arsenal of recipes. These will be fantastic for parties I feel.
Looks great and just wondering why all the seasoning went in the batter and not any in the chicken when blended.
It's a simple flavor.
I made 50 of these just now. They’re perfect!!! Thank you Sam & crew :)

Happy Friday
It's the only dry mustard worth buying!
Loved this one. Nugget looked a little spongy .. was it?
Awesome work, gentlemen. I could tell that that crunch wasn't fake. That is what cooking food yourself sounds like.

@@Moondog-wc4vm sounds like a plan! 👍
I love how proud Sam looked at 8:58 about his segway to the webshop. :D
Looks good, pretty sure McDonalds just uses Tempura batter :)

You should have also made a McSam's version of the nuggets with dark meat and spices.
2 TB mayo, 2 TB sour cream and 1/2 a ts of spicy chili oil is an amazing dipping sauce for some nugs
1:52 dude really said McNuggets are "rustic" ;))
Those chicken nuggets looks super delicious Sam!😋😋
One of our favorites too but learning to make them at home is awesome . Thank you
My daughter is gonna love making these with me 😃
good lookin' nuggets; i'll make them but i'll shape a little 'handle on the patties like McDons. Dips look yummy, ty Sam.
I can always count on STCG to give me sound life advice- don't eat poop! Love the channel. Thanks for taking time to create these videos!

So you fully cook and fry them, then cool them down and freeze for later use?
Where do you get Long John’s batter?
@@manehbag732 I have the raw frozen in a baggie, just take out the amount you want and then flour and fry.

Sam, I love you. That makes so much sense! Make many and put them in the freezer 🤦🏻♀️🙌🏼🙌🏼
Did I just stumble upon the best thing I’ve seen in a long time? Yes.
We love watching your videos!!
Absolutely love the channel. So much great food. Fact that i’ll probably live 5 years less due to a heartattack is just fine by me!
Absolutely trying this! :)
definitely gonna try these
Nice little recipe. Could freeze them also I guess for a quick lazy launch to be eaten later.
I realize this is Not a cooking channel. It's a entertainment channel. So just go to McDonalds and save 10x the cost of just the ingredients.
Chicken nuggets are my favorite menu from McDonald's. Sam, keep doing your thing!😂
The habanero honey would be awesome. 😋. I'm so doing that.
after watching, i think it's doable. thumbs up
Raise your hand if you've been watching SAM for a long time🤚
✋️
When the replica is better than what you’re replicating, you’re the man

Swanson's Fried Chicken Hungry Man T.V. diner tastes very close to McNuggets, when fried in oil.
@@OkayBoomer-o9f...and they are gawd awful when microwaved. The picture on the Swanson box looked so good. I was so disappointed when I tried them 🤮

Shallow fried in extra light virgin olive oil.
In the Uk they had a sweet curry sauce i wish they had here. It was the best ever.
Making this one today!!!
The bacon ranch mccrispy has been my favorite thing at McDonald’s in a long time. Always super crispy which is surprising for a fast food place
Awesome!!
The nuggets are not random - McDonald's chicken nuggets come in four shapes: the bell, the ball, the boot, and the bow tie.
Get the family together, made these and use all the hottest sauces in the fridge. Like first we feast. We have a blast.
According to the interwebs, Mcnuggets come in 4 different official shapes, the bone, the bell, the ball, and the boot. 😆
Can i add that i liked the slow-mo when he was adding the mustard😂
I love nuggets! Definitely trying your recipe tonight!! Looks So good!
I LOVE that cutting board! I would love to order a personalized board from them!
Free million dollar idea, a nugget scooper/ ala ice cream scooper to simply scoop and shape
This is awesome. I need to try this one!!!!
I just had a taste for McDonalds's nuggets yesterday. I'm definitely making these along with the sweet & sour sauce.
I got excited when i saw the title.
I gotta make these,love nuggets but stopped eating McDonalds for a long time.these look great
I would definitely take these over McDonald’s any day! 😋 These look yummy!
Hey Sam..... You GOT to do your take on the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
Can you please find out if you can make them with keto friendly flour and with an air fryer? If so can you make a video on it
I really gotta stop watching these videos in the middle of the night. God, I'm hungry now.
Watching Sam eating and enjoying his creation makes me even more hungry! Everytime!! :D
Love your show man.. lol.. dig the attitude 🤟😆
@SAM THE COOKING GUY I made these and they are bloody amazing and so easy to make! No more McDs for me 😂😂
Trick...use sparkling water to make the batter. Dunk the nuggets in before all the fizz disappears. You'll like the difference!
Why didn't you season the chicken?
Thank you guys for your awesome content.
I'm definitely making Sam's nuggets!
I just bought mc nuggets and then seen your video and was like no way are you doing nuggets right now 😂
I believe there are 4 different nug shapes with the boot being the favourite.
Before watching i am excited to watch this ( subbed ) i hope it's kind of easy.
The nuggets were really good in the 90’s… I’d love a recipe that mimics that version (they had both dark meat and white meat nuggets - yum). I would order all dark meat usually. Maybe I’ll try with this recipe 🤔
Would it be okay to season the chicken with what we season the flour before forming as well, or would that be too much??
that buy or make question at the beginning, I agree on making them...as an employee, and eating them...while the boss ain't looking.
Looks fun. gonna do it. Thanks for not faking. Anything. "don't eat shit, period" LMAO.
Love the explanation on how to make some great chicken nuggets. I guess for me, chicken tenders is the way I usually go 😎
I'd have to say McDonalds BBQ sauce is one of the best sauces I've ever had. Perfect amount of sweetness and tang.
Perfect without all the plastic, msg and other chemicals
Great dish guys!!! Love it!!!
Someone needs to send Sam a tiny whisk set….
There are 4 McNugget shapes. The boot, bell, ball and bone.
One step further, flour it freeze it batter one half freeze it batter the other freeze it home made fresh nuggets
IDK why, but that bang bang sauce looks delicious!!!! I can just grab a spoon and eat it
If we freeze them for later use should we thaw it first or fry them frozen as is?
Nice f*****g job Sam, as always. As you were blending the chicken, I was wondering if that wouldn’t be a good time to add some seasoning as well?
Don't forget to add wood pulp, seaweed, and soy.
haha i seen that report
Thanks again, now I'm craving chk nuggets.. suppose I'll make them myself!] Now I can Lads! 😊
Wow when he said everything he dreamed of I knew it was true so delicious im makin them!!!
