    In the US some throw away chicken skin. When I visited Japan, there was a Yakitori place that wrapped the pieces of chicken in more chicken skin, they called it Fatty Chicken. It was simply genius. The outer layer skin was super crispy, inner layer was rendered and then you get to the chicken itself.

      12 Bricks and a hand fan (you can use fire bricks if you want to but they're a little more expensive). Make a trough with the bricks, fill them with coal, and fan away. Wait until the coals are white and then start grilling.

    • @japplesin
      @japplesin 4 года назад

      I actually own the second one; the mini grill. After the first try, there is a bit of clean up. And then it dawn on me to use Aluminium wrap to wrap the exposed sides to catch all the grease/droppings and splatters. It works. I just had another BBQ the other day and clean up was minimal. I like this grill because it is very fun to use. It also come with a griddle and a Takoyaki pan. Love it.

  • @LearnWithEase87
    @LearnWithEase87 5 лет назад +3

    If you are buying off this, remember these kind of grills are a huge pain in the ass to clean, you can build one with some bricks from home depot and a mesh net for like $15, I've tried this outdoor only and it worked well, afterwards just use a blower and blow all the ashes into the yard to fertilize your grass lol. Also I thought bichotan is smokeless and adds almost no flavor, charcoal has good flavor but isnt as hot and doesnt burn as long (way cheaper tho).

    • @recoil53
      @recoil53 5 лет назад +1

      The smoke comes from fat hitting the bichotan - searing does not "seal in the juices".
      However, all charcoal gives some smokey flavor regardless.

    @funkychicken2119 5 лет назад +2

    That last device was going to be an obvious fail. You can see from the design the drippings would all do down the bottom and drip off. They need to top off the skewer with a piece of toast or something to at least not let all that juice go to waste.

      @vangrindz8650 5 лет назад +2

      Yes agree that it's a myth. I think what the chef meant was that the low heat allowed for more juice to drip out due to the longer cooking time (i.e. faster cooking time=less juice drips out). The host led the discussion and perpetuated the sear sealing myth; I think chef was just agreeing due to a language barrier.
