    Chef John" you are one COOL DUDE !! I'm 71 yrs. and from a family of "CHEF'S", "COOKS". I love your video's, and most of your recipes. Your "high", "low", and even a little "WIMPY" voice ADDS to your ALLURE.!! Great sense of humor, and delivery.!! Love watching your video's, as a side note, I have been using your "EASIEST PIZZA DOUGH" recipe since first coming across it.!! It really is a NO FAIL RECIPE and more than satisfies my pallet. Keep up the great video's, and VERY well wishes to you and loved ones.

    Thanks for all the great sandwich recipes and tips! Can't wait to try these.
    In my experience, hands work best for breading if you pick a "dry" hand for the breading and a "wet" hand for the wash. That's how my grandma taught me and it works well.

    For the cuban sandwich, I have found that heating an empty cast iron Dutch oven on the stove, and heating a large cast iron skillet as well. When you place the sandwich in the skillet to grill, placing the Dutch oven on top works to both press and toast the top side.

      I would assume you don't use an enameled dutch oven. I would think a dry heated enameled pan would be terrible for the enamel. I would only try this with an old school lodge type oven, not a le creuset type.
      Perhaps I'm wrong, but I wouldn't risk ruining an expensive Dutch oven, for the cost of a cheap panini press.

    I'm kind of a Chick-fil-A aficionado. I can tell you right now, you need to press the chicken into the flour mixture. Lean your whole body into it if that's what it takes.
    When you flip it, repeat the process. That's the technique they use to really embed the crust

    Popeye's is my favorite chicken sandwich. I always thought they added baking soda to the batter. I personally have not liked ANY spicy chicken sandwich I have tried, from any fast food joint. I love spicy, but I find all these places make it so hot your taste buds burn and you can't taste anything else. Also, I find that the spicy chicken seems to come out drier and seems to always be a smaller piece of chicken. Love your show, Chef.

  • @donna7338
    @donna7338 2 года назад +1

    To make the fried chicken sandwich, I pound the breast to be thinner, switch out the flour for corn starch so the breading is cornmeal, corn starch, and baking powder, then I do the double frying so that the second frying keeps the chicken crisp. I never heard of the ranch dressing ingredient. Will try that for sure.

  • @unamericano
    @unamericano Год назад

    Some advice on making a cubano for those interested from a South Floridian: Make the bread yourself like Chef John. Real cuban bread is unbeatable in the experience of eating a cubano (which don't exist in Cuba, btw) and you're unlikely to find it at your local bakery. It's fairly simple if you have any experience baking and should be airier and fluffier than a baguette by a country mile due to the use of lard as the fat.
    Another tip is to use cuban mojo roast pork. It's very similar to Chef John's recipe, but with a soaking of sour orange and extra garlic in the roasting process. If you don't have access to sour oranges you can mix orange and lemon juice, preferably fresh.
    That's it! Chef John really has got the recipe down pat, just some recommendations to get the more authentic cuban flavors! If you want you can also substitute the cuban bread for a similarly shaped loaf of Challah bread for a variation called a Medianoche.

    Inside out grilled cheese reminds me of one I make. However, I would disagree (which I know I should never do when it comes to Chef John) with only using white bread. I make mine with sourdough (I thought you were from the Frisco area) and then parmesan on the outside. Absolutely the best grilled cheese ever. BTW, when was that original recipe video made, I thought I have been watching you from the beginning but that thing outdated me.

    Chef John whatever happened to using a paper bag for fried chicken? Of course do your marinade. Prepare your wet and dry coatings but you put your dry in a paper bag. Do your technic of drying the marinade then drop all the chicken in the bag and shake for a few seconds. Take all the pieces out and put in the wet then all back in the bag shake again. You can repeat this as many time as you want.
    My great grandmother, and grandmother did this about three to four times my mother didn't like the extra crust so she only did it twice. Sit on rack so the outside drys (15 to 20 min) then fry.This makes sure everything is coated evenly, keeps you hands and you counters clean. Of course since the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder was exposed to raw chicken the flour egg, milk is combined to make biscuits.
