nobody in India makes butter chicken with chicken breast... you guga makes me hate yourself by making worst butter chicken ... 👎👎👎👎 worst then JAMIE OLIVER

@@Under-Kaoz it's not an ad hominum cuz I made a point to your argument. It doesn't matter which calories you cut, but fat has more calories per gramm which is why it's easier to get in a deficit with restricting fetts (u can restrict carbs too obviously)
@@48pluto That's a massive oversimplification of the problem. There are things that have "empty" calories, cravings that you need to satisfy in order not to abandon your diet, and more. And good luck eating half a burger.
@@MaskedDeath_ You make it over complicated. That helps no one. If one wants to accomplish something it can be done. Water has zero calories. You can die from drinking too much water.

@@48pluto Everyone is different. Some people don't have that time to walk 5 miles or be active at all. It's not fair to say it's common sense, if you don't have the option. Calorie counting helps. Substitutions for slightly lower calorie options help. Slightly reducing portion sizes and or splitting up meals can help. It's a journey and not a quick fix. In most cases, fighting the feeling of being hungry, is the bigger struggle. Aside from drinking black coffee, most want to stay away from other appetite suppressants. The option that made the rounds, might be way out of normal people's price point. And I highly oppose the idea of trying to make it yourself.
Guga, your dry aged myself video really inspired me to start working out more and watching what I eat. Thank you so much for everything these past years 🙏❤
I'm loving these videos Guga! I'm currently 10lb in to my own 100lb weight loss, and your first video "I Dry Aged Myself" was super motivating as I started my journey. This just proves you don't have to sacrifice flavour when on a diet
I lost 20 lbs last year but I put 10 back on this year. I recently resumed my journey, hoping to lose 20 more, for a total of 30 lbs. It doesn't sound as much, but it is hard to keep up in the long term, especially with kids. Guga is indeed an inspiration.

Guga, i think i can speak for the silent majority of us folk that are struggling with weight/weightloss that these videos are incredibly inspiring to me, please id love to see more content like this
Digging the meal-prep vibe of this video, maybe do some more like that? Also 8:29 I see Guga is a man of culture as well 👌Oh, he's talking about chicken... Right...
Very proud of you dude. Losing weight is one of the best decisions i have ever made and I'm happy to see how you're doing! One note: Sugar doesn't have alot of calories. It has the same amount of calories as protein (4kcal/g), while fat has ALOT (9kcal/g). But sugar is much less satiating and also it doesn't keep you full nearly as long as protein, due to a number of factors. That is one of the reason why you want to avoid sugar, not because of the amount of kalories but because it's easier to overeat.
Wow, congrats Guga! I thought about doing this and you are making me believe it will work. I began the year with chicken recipes but now I'm ready to do it again.... cheap and versatile.
4:15 An air fryer is just a small convection oven that's been turned into a uni-tasker due to it's form factor. A lot of higher end counter top ovens have convection, and even then the highest you'll go in price like $300 which is the same as an air fryer.
Chris Young did a video on Air Fryer Fries doing an in depth explanation of the advantages of proper air/steam circulation in an air fryer compared to circulation in a traditional convection oven. I’m no scientist, but in my experience the results in my air fryer are better than my convection oven-so perhaps they are not just the same thing
I am blessed. Been focusing on weight loss just the last 4 months, going from never giving a damn my entire life. Been a fan of this channel for a while, long before trying to lose weight. Now, in the same time period I'm losing weight, my favorite food channel is teaching me recipes that goes perfectly with my calorie deficit and protein needs. I couldn't have asked for more!
Guga, I really love this new stuff with fitness. Your cooking expertise while you share super tasty meals that are very calorie friendly is a dream. Please keep making these for us, someone like me is so appreciative of this.
The difference in calories between chicken and steak is rather trivial assuming the rest of your diet is low in sugars and junk you have easily used steak to accomplish the same results.
Not true. While the calories between 4oz of chicken breast, and 4 Oz of sirloin steak is only about 40 calories. (Larger difference with fattier cuts of beef.) the amount of fat and protein is wildly different. If you are losing weight your body is already flooding your liver with fats. Because you are in a calorie deficit your body must burn your body fat, and that all goes into the liver, which is already struggling for overweight people. So low fat is key, not to overtax your liver. And chicken has 10 less grams of fat per serving. Nevermind that Guga is weight training and working on building muscle. And you need protein for that. Chicken breast has 11 more grams of protein per serving than a sirloin steak would. Also that extra 40 calories difference can go a long way in vegetable sides to help get more nutrients, and stay full longer.
@@borderlandsveteran I beg to differ, this wasn't an opinion. I literally lost 90lbs last year doing exactly what I said. Not only that but I was mainly eating steak and fruit.. So you might think you have the data and numbers on it but you don't because I'm living proof to the opposite. I think the culprit is a misunderstanding of fat intake and content in the liver that causes the confusion. ?
@@borderlandsveteran Fat has accounted for nearly half our macro intake for millions of years of evolution, more than protein. The liver is a champ at processing fat and it will take a lot more than that to "overtax it" (barring some kind of liver condition). This is especially true of animal fat, which the digestive system is highly efficient at deriving nutrients from unlike carbs. When you consume more calories than your body needs, the excess energy is stored in the body as fat regardless of the macro type, so the OP's statement is very much correct.
@@remnant24 you speak of healthy people, not overweight people. And a lot of overweight people have problems with fatty livers. But I see you completely ignored the part of about Guga weightlifting and how Chicken has 11 more grams of protein per serving over beef. But go off.
@@LimitedState at no point did I say you couldn’t lose weight, I see you purposely misconstruing my reply. I said that it is not true that steak can be substituted and get the exact same results. You have to adjust your diet to accommodate steak because it’s got significantly less grams of protein, and much higher fat. Not everyone’s weight loss journey is the same, and you can’t just copy paste your results onto another. Someone who is trying to build muscle like Guga explicitly stated he was in his video is going to want to reach for chicken breast which is 79% protein. Which is much much higher than steak. It just is. Plain numbers. 37% more protein over steak for the same portion. If you don’t consume enough protein while losing weight your body canabalizes your muscles. For the amount of calories, (40 less than steak) Guga gets 37% more protein. And protein not only builds muscle through weight loss, but it keeps you full longer, so you don’t have as many cravings. You would have to adjust your steak diet to either consume more steak, or take supplements, or eat other foods (more calories) to supplement the diminished protein content. It’s just not a plain, “sub it out, it’s just as good situation.”
Please hit us with more diet recipes, really love these ones. Throwing in flavor while prioritizing protein and keeping calories low is just wonderful and very hard :D
Guga you look like a beast bro. When I had to lose weight for a judo tournament in 7th grade I ate nothing but canned tuna and lettuce with no dressing for a week and I lost 10 pounds. I was still working out everyday so for people reading this don't think you can just eat healthy and stay lazy. This video shows that you can enjoy food and be healthier if you put equal effort into both exercise AND cooking techniques.
I lost a lot of weight just eating steak, bacon, eggs, butter, and cheese. Carnivore diet. It's amazing. You can fry foods just make sure it's in animal fat. Breading? Use pork skins
@@Moo_is_cute When eating a diet high in steak, bacon, butter, and eggs, fiber is not nearly as important as it is when you are eating a standard diet. Carnivore diet typically results in fewer, smaller and less frequent bowel movements (primarily due to the body absorbing such a high percentage of what you eat), but does not typically result in constipation or other digestive problems (especially once you get past and shock of a total diet change that is typically done in the first week or so)

Hey Guga, I really enjoy watching your videos and I take heavy inspiration to my dishes mostly from your side dishes. So I wanted to ask you, if possible, to make something like a compilation video of your side dishes cause searching that specific one across all your videos would be quite troublesome. Either way keep up the good work and good luck!
Yeah, the chicken is low calories so it's what he chose to eat on the diet and making it taste nice is a way to encourage yourself to stick with the diet further more the type or recipes may have been a hunger suppressor ,please stop being a sour know it all this man is a kind man and doesn't need a correction he didn't ask for.
@@ARFed I don't know how much pound in kg, but steel definitely heavier, try to get hit with 1 pound of steel, 1 pound of feather would feel like nothing compared :)
@@vl4dl3nthey weren’t talking about the quantity, they were just talking about the weight. 1 pound cannot be heavier or lighter than 1 pound, they are equal weight.
@@Nebulynx994 A also said nothing about quantity/volume etc. It was a joke about how would it feel. "1 pound cannot be heavier or lighter than 1 pound" but that depends on where you buying and if seller is fair :D
We really enjoy all your videos, Guga. That would be wonderful if you could do some more like this one. We are always looking for healthier ways to cook and have it tasty too. We will definitely being trying those chicken recipes. Thank you! ❤
i already liked your vids but because i was on a diet i would make them 3 times a month, but this chicken dishes are right up my alley. keep up the work itll pay off, and im really liking this recipes to help me too.
I would love to see more videos of this type. Trying to lose some weight with good food and exercise and need some inspo! Would love to follow these recipes! ❤️
Thank you for these chicken recipes. I've been looking for some that look relatively easy to prep & cook. I also love the air fryer setting of my oven.
Man I'm proud of you for your effort but also for sharing the real truth with everyone. Massive help sir, I'm going to try this stuff. I wanna lose 100lb too
Guga this was an incredible video. I love how very quick and practical these recipes are. A diet that is miserable at mealtime is a diet destined to fail. Thank you for these recipes i especially am going to try your cheat butter chicken.
Hey guga. Super proud of you for sticking through to it. I pray it becomes a lfiestyle change and less of a diet/chore overtime for you too😊❤ 80 pounds lost here. Trying to get to sub 10% body fat. Powering through to my 3rd year.
Glad you're in good health and still enjoying food 🎉 . Have you ever thought of using dry ice to sear a steak? The flash freezing should help dry out the surface before grilling or even make a strange sort of crust by itself. Silica beads might also help with drying/crisping
Thank you Guga and team for the amazing content as always 💪 Myself and my fiancé have been entertained while we eat for over 4 years!! Not to forget that you have changed the steak game for us😁 Much love brother, all the way from South Africa ❤ @GugaFoods
Looking good, sir. Might I suggest looking into tagine. While the term now include the dishes classically cooked in one, the conical Moroccan slow cooker brings juicy to a new level. Give your meat a sear; then add diced onion. To this add spices, longer cooking veggies, and liquid. At the end, add your fast cooking veggies. Done right, the meat will be succulent due to the unique braise/steam cook while the veggies will be tender or crisp and the remainder cooked into an incredible sauce.
I love cornflake chicken! I lost the original recipe and instead started combining a couple for my favorite. Mine is not as healthy as yours, but I still love it. And I’ve had friends ask for the recipe. I also add paprika, pepper, seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground mustard.
I have to say, I found this video at the right time. I have lost 72 lbs in the past 18 months, but for the last two months, I’ve been seesawing 5 lbs either up or down. Seeing these recipes for chicken adds new foods to my repertoire. Thank you!
Ive always been a chicken lover, ive found the beat way to make chicken breast is to pan sear in a good bit of olive oil, once bith sides are seared put a little water in and cover it to steam (carefully, oil and water and all that) then at about 163 or 165°F set on a cutting board, pour over the excess oil, and cover for about 5-8 minutes. If done right it will be dripping with juice when you cut into it.
Going back to when you were cooking in the office, the idea of you doing a whole video saying awesome things about chicken seems insane. So impressed by you.
Gratz. That's about what I'm aiming for too. The first 20lbs was easy, but I've been stuck at ~25 down for over 2 months now. Any tips, or do I just gotta work through the plateau?
@Jcewazhere all I've done is calorie deficit. I (was - haven't been consistent lately, but maintaing at 209) eat around 1500 calories a day. It consists of a lighter snack / small meal in the middle of the day, and a feast for dinner! I've been eating Chinese take out, pizza, fried chicken - whatever I want so long as it's under my daily calorie count. It certainly slows down though. Pounds fell off at first. It got to where it was just averaging a pound or less a week the last couple weeks I was pushing
I started eating more chicken again recently in an effort to lose weight as well. No other changes right now, been trying to do everything I can with diet beforehand since I have other issues with my diet to resolve other than too many calories, and I have physical limitations that make additional exercise rather difficult. You're 100% right about it being more filling for less calories. I noticed immediately I was getting filled up better for longer. I've been making pan seared chicken thighs with salt, msg, pepper, garlic powder, and italian seasoning rub, and a lemon juice drizzle, both before cooking, during cooking, on the onion slices for the sandwich (helps tame their bite as well as the flavor add), and then a final drizzle when the chicken is done. That way you get both the cooked and raw lemon flavor, tons of sour bite (which I love) to complement the fattier thigh meat and 2 bacon slices, and it's just the best. Fills me way up on a single sandwich, when I'd need two burgers to feel as full for as long, while eating way more calories as a result. I've been eating truffle oil and sea salt kettle brand chips with it and it's to die for, and at a 500 calorie reduction from my previous meal while getting to eat more food, so I'm full for WAY longer. Also getting a whole serving of veggies per sandwich between two whole lettuce leaves and 3-4 3mm/1/8" thick half onion slices, something that I wasn't getting eating burgers. I still make the burgers occasionally though, to save the fat from them, because that's the cooking oil i'm using for my chicken lmao. Oil is oil and burger fat tastes delicious. I just keep a mug by my skillet when i'm cooking burgers, with a strainer in it, and i pour off the extra fat like bacon fat to use for later, in between burgers. I've been planning burger nights with friends just to get that extra fat for flavor lmao. Some things you never give up entirely. I could just use wagyu tallow instead, but that's not as tasty as burger fat from a well cooked burger. What got me super addicted to chicken again though wasn't my sandwiches, it was learning how to smoke chicken properly from Jeremy Yoder's channel (Mad Scientist BBQ for those not aware). Dude's smoked chicken thighs guide is the perfect starting point for smoking a whole haunch (leg and thigh) as well, and that's what I've been cooking once a week for me and my parents. They got me a smoker last summer and I promised that I would learn to cook something for them in it as well, and they don't eat red meat for health reasons, and my mom only eats fish, so I had to learn to do something for her, be it fish or cheese stuffed mushrooms, and chicken for everyone else, to get them to try my smoked foods. Been making smoked veggie skewers as a side dish as well to go with it all. Super delicious, 10/10 would recommend getting a smoker to anyone who enjoys cooking outside.

@@LimitedState at no point did I say you couldn’t lose weight, I see you purposely misconstruing my reply. I said that it is not true that steak can be substituted and get the exact same results. You have to adjust your diet to accommodate steak because it’s got significantly less grams of protein, and much higher fat. Not everyone’s weight loss journey is the same, and you can’t just copy paste your results onto another. Someone who is trying to build muscle like Guga explicitly stated he was in his video is going to want to reach for chicken breast which is 79% protein. Which is much much higher than steak. It just is. Plain numbers. 37% more protein over steak for the same portion. If you don’t consume enough protein while losing weight your body canabalizes your muscles. For the amount of calories, (40 less than steak) Guga gets 37% more protein. And protein not only builds muscle through weight loss, but it keeps you full longer, so you don’t have as many cravings. You would have to adjust your steak diet to either consume more steak, or take supplements, or eat other foods (more calories) to supplement the diminished protein content. It’s just not a plain, “sub it out, it’s just as good situation.”
Thank you guga for making my diet easier

Yes, keeping on track is so important!!
These look soo good yet healty

Please hit us with more diet recipes, really love these ones. Throwing in flavor while prioritizing protein and keeping calories low is just wonderful and very hard :D
just love this Guga.. for a big guy love to eat this will help to keep on track
Guga you look like a beast bro. When I had to lose weight for a judo tournament in 7th grade I ate nothing but canned tuna and lettuce with no dressing for a week and I lost 10 pounds. I was still working out everyday so for people reading this don't think you can just eat healthy and stay lazy. This video shows that you can enjoy food and be healthier if you put equal effort into both exercise AND cooking techniques.
Thank you for giving me ideas /variety to add to my diet.
I think its time for me to start losing more weight
H e a l t h
I was looking for butter chicken recipes, and then Guga came with the low carb option (the one I mostly needed). I really love you Guga!
This team-up is pure gold!
Thanks for this video Guga!! I’m on my own fitness journey and it’s motivating to see you succeed :)
I lost a lot of weight just eating steak, bacon, eggs, butter, and cheese. Carnivore diet. It's amazing. You can fry foods just make sure it's in animal fat. Breading? Use pork skins
I’m wanting to get on carnivore lion but I need to find good meal plans cause It’s tough for me to eat the same thing everyday.
how do you get fiber
@@Moo_is_cute When eating a diet high in steak, bacon, butter, and eggs, fiber is not nearly as important as it is when you are eating a standard diet. Carnivore diet typically results in fewer, smaller and less frequent bowel movements (primarily due to the body absorbing such a high percentage of what you eat), but does not typically result in constipation or other digestive problems (especially once you get past and shock of a total diet change that is typically done in the first week or so)
Carnivore gang 💪

6:09 be careful Guga, you’re lucky you’re on good terms with uncle Roger otherwise he’ll probably expose you with that recipe like you’re Jamie Oliver
Hey Guga, I really enjoy watching your videos and I take heavy inspiration to my dishes mostly from your side dishes. So I wanted to ask you, if possible, to make something like a compilation video of your side dishes cause searching that specific one across all your videos would be quite troublesome. Either way keep up the good work and good luck!
No, you lost weight because you were eating in a calorie deficit, so your body was burning more calories than you consumed, cheers
Yeah, the chicken is low calories so it's what he chose to eat on the diet and making it taste nice is a way to encourage yourself to stick with the diet further more the type or recipes may have been a hunger suppressor ,please stop being a sour know it all this man is a kind man and doesn't need a correction he didn't ask for.
These recipes were lower calorie versions of what he would usually eat which helps him be in a deficit, the title is just for clicks 😁
yea thats kinda how you lose weight.. i saw him workout too did you not?
I sure wonder what protein helps you eat less calories!
Yeah, so he showed what recipes he made that got him to his weight loss.
Love this kind of videos, especially recipes for losing weight. Please make more of these, let us know how to make healthy and delicious dish!!!
no mention of ozempic use. 🤫
In a previous video he said he didn’t use shots or pills, just diet and exercise.
@@jasonhansen9
you believe it?
Would love to see more of these type of videos Guga!
The title should be “how Ozempic, errr, I mean chicken helped me lose 100lbs”
LMAOO
Rude but great joke 😂
"Bet you didn't tell your fans where you get your abs from..."
This☝️
Well done! You are truly an inspiration. Keep up the great work!
"Chicken have less calories than steak", but they both have 400cal on (0:30) :D
There's also more chicken. As in, the chicken has less calories and requires more to be equal.
What’s heavier a pounds of steel or a pound of feather?
@@ARFed I don't know how much pound in kg, but steel definitely heavier, try to get hit with 1 pound of steel, 1 pound of feather would feel like nothing compared :)
@@vl4dl3nthey weren’t talking about the quantity, they were just talking about the weight. 1 pound cannot be heavier or lighter than 1 pound, they are equal weight.
@@Nebulynx994 A also said nothing about quantity/volume etc. It was a joke about how would it feel.
"1 pound cannot be heavier or lighter than 1 pound" but that depends on where you buying and if seller is fair :D
You look fantastic Guga! Thank you for this, we marked this video and will be using these recipes on our own health journey!
2:20 I actually don’t eat fried chicken bro lol I don’t really like any chicken frfr ngl to you
Guga, you’re the GOAT man. Literally crushing it man!
I am loving the new content focused on low cal but delicious meals.
We really enjoy all your videos, Guga. That would be wonderful if you could do some more like this one. We are always looking for healthier ways to cook and have it tasty too. We will definitely being trying those chicken recipes. Thank you! ❤
i already liked your vids but because i was on a diet i would make them 3 times a month, but this chicken dishes are right up my alley. keep up the work itll pay off, and im really liking this recipes to help me too.
I would love to see more videos of this type. Trying to lose some weight with good food and exercise and need some inspo! Would love to follow these recipes! ❤️
Thank you for these chicken recipes. I've been looking for some that look relatively easy to prep & cook. I also love the air fryer setting of my oven.
Looking good Guga! I gotta try these recipes!
Looking good Guga. Chicken was my go to food when doing weight loss as well, no where nearly as well prepared as these.
Man I'm proud of you for your effort but also for sharing the real truth with everyone. Massive help sir, I'm going to try this stuff. I wanna lose 100lb too
I’m a new subscriber and love these healthier meal options! They could be a future book idea :)
Guga you looking sooo good!!! I'm soo happy for you
Guga this was an incredible video. I love how very quick and practical these recipes are. A diet that is miserable at mealtime is a diet destined to fail. Thank you for these recipes i especially am going to try your cheat butter chicken.
Great job, Guga!
Hey guga. Super proud of you for sticking through to it. I pray it becomes a lfiestyle change and less of a diet/chore overtime for you too😊❤
80 pounds lost here. Trying to get to sub 10% body fat. Powering through to my 3rd year.
Love the video, Bruddah!
Keep the macro-friendly recipes coming!!!
I'm loving it Guga, great content
Glad you're in good health and still enjoying food 🎉 . Have you ever thought of using dry ice to sear a steak? The flash freezing should help dry out the surface before grilling or even make a strange sort of crust by itself. Silica beads might also help with drying/crisping
i love learning cooking techniques from this guy!
Thank you Guga and team for the amazing content as always 💪 Myself and my fiancé have been entertained while we eat for over 4 years!! Not to forget that you have changed the steak game for us😁 Much love brother, all the way from South Africa ❤ @GugaFoods
Thank you for this video! Please make more of them if you can.
Looking good, sir.
Might I suggest looking into tagine. While the term now include the dishes classically cooked in one, the conical Moroccan slow cooker brings juicy to a new level. Give your meat a sear; then add diced onion. To this add spices, longer cooking veggies, and liquid. At the end, add your fast cooking veggies. Done right, the meat will be succulent due to the unique braise/steam cook while the veggies will be tender or crisp and the remainder cooked into an incredible sauce.
This is the dopest video you’ve done showing love from the panhandle 🔥
Looking great, Guga!!
I love this series, great content, and keeping it real also.
I love cornflake chicken! I lost the original recipe and instead started combining a couple for my favorite. Mine is not as healthy as yours, but I still love it. And I’ve had friends ask for the recipe. I also add paprika, pepper, seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground mustard.
I'm so inspired by your work!
I haven't watched your videos in about a year and Damn! Seeing your new shredded self legitimately Shocked and surprised me in a good way.
Congrats on the weight loss Guga and thank you for all the amazing recipes
I have to say, I found this video at the right time. I have lost 72 lbs in the past 18 months, but for the last two months, I’ve been seesawing 5 lbs either up or down. Seeing these recipes for chicken adds new foods to my repertoire. Thank you!
Ive always been a chicken lover, ive found the beat way to make chicken breast is to pan sear in a good bit of olive oil, once bith sides are seared put a little water in and cover it to steam (carefully, oil and water and all that) then at about 163 or 165°F set on a cutting board, pour over the excess oil, and cover for about 5-8 minutes. If done right it will be dripping with juice when you cut into it.
You look amazing man, I’m so proud of you, so god damn proud of you
Great video! Please keep bringing them
very hand recipes. I'm liking the recipe list on the side too. thank you Guga
Crazy proud of you Guga
Going back to when you were cooking in the office, the idea of you doing a whole video saying awesome things about chicken seems insane. So impressed by you.
You’re the man! Keep them coming! 💪
Make more of these!! Thanks 🙏🏻
I'm down almost 60lbs! Feels great. Nice to see your success. It's very motivating! I have around 15lbs more to go to get to my goal of 190-195
Gratz. That's about what I'm aiming for too.
The first 20lbs was easy, but I've been stuck at ~25 down for over 2 months now. Any tips, or do I just gotta work through the plateau?
@Jcewazhere all I've done is calorie deficit. I (was - haven't been consistent lately, but maintaing at 209) eat around 1500 calories a day. It consists of a lighter snack / small meal in the middle of the day, and a feast for dinner! I've been eating Chinese take out, pizza, fried chicken - whatever I want so long as it's under my daily calorie count. It certainly slows down though. Pounds fell off at first. It got to where it was just averaging a pound or less a week the last couple weeks I was pushing
Hell yeah. Amazing work, Guga. I’d love to see more of your favorite sustainable dishes. Also the fatty ones, too.
Guga my dog!!!! You look amazing and you're an inspiration for all of us.
Proud of you, man !
I started eating more chicken again recently in an effort to lose weight as well. No other changes right now, been trying to do everything I can with diet beforehand since I have other issues with my diet to resolve other than too many calories, and I have physical limitations that make additional exercise rather difficult. You're 100% right about it being more filling for less calories. I noticed immediately I was getting filled up better for longer. I've been making pan seared chicken thighs with salt, msg, pepper, garlic powder, and italian seasoning rub, and a lemon juice drizzle, both before cooking, during cooking, on the onion slices for the sandwich (helps tame their bite as well as the flavor add), and then a final drizzle when the chicken is done. That way you get both the cooked and raw lemon flavor, tons of sour bite (which I love) to complement the fattier thigh meat and 2 bacon slices, and it's just the best. Fills me way up on a single sandwich, when I'd need two burgers to feel as full for as long, while eating way more calories as a result. I've been eating truffle oil and sea salt kettle brand chips with it and it's to die for, and at a 500 calorie reduction from my previous meal while getting to eat more food, so I'm full for WAY longer. Also getting a whole serving of veggies per sandwich between two whole lettuce leaves and 3-4 3mm/1/8" thick half onion slices, something that I wasn't getting eating burgers. I still make the burgers occasionally though, to save the fat from them, because that's the cooking oil i'm using for my chicken lmao. Oil is oil and burger fat tastes delicious. I just keep a mug by my skillet when i'm cooking burgers, with a strainer in it, and i pour off the extra fat like bacon fat to use for later, in between burgers. I've been planning burger nights with friends just to get that extra fat for flavor lmao. Some things you never give up entirely. I could just use wagyu tallow instead, but that's not as tasty as burger fat from a well cooked burger.
What got me super addicted to chicken again though wasn't my sandwiches, it was learning how to smoke chicken properly from Jeremy Yoder's channel (Mad Scientist BBQ for those not aware). Dude's smoked chicken thighs guide is the perfect starting point for smoking a whole haunch (leg and thigh) as well, and that's what I've been cooking once a week for me and my parents. They got me a smoker last summer and I promised that I would learn to cook something for them in it as well, and they don't eat red meat for health reasons, and my mom only eats fish, so I had to learn to do something for her, be it fish or cheese stuffed mushrooms, and chicken for everyone else, to get them to try my smoked foods. Been making smoked veggie skewers as a side dish as well to go with it all. Super delicious, 10/10 would recommend getting a smoker to anyone who enjoys cooking outside.
Congrats Guga!
