@@valkyriekittyx I didn't say they said more meat. I was just saying why Drums are superior and how the skin to meat ratio was not enough to tradeoff less meat
I made some garlic parmesan drums with potato starch and a bit of flour and I dip mine in egg before i put them into the dry mixture. They next day after sitting in the fridge i put them in the microwave for a minute to heat up the outside and then the toaster oven for a minute or two to make sure they were crispy still and they were still crispy and delicious!! Thank for the videos you do, they help me out so much! cooking is my stress reliever when I'm in a dark place, your recipes give me the motivation to create my own food ideas and share them with other too, Thank you
Fun fact. The little drums you are cooking are actually part of the wing. It's the part which connects the flats to the chicken. I'm sure 99% of people are aware of this
Just before I’m about to make fried chicken. perfect! I unfortunately don’t have potato starch atm. But I found rice flour is also a good alternative for extra crisp n crunch
My method is to put some of the buttermilk in the dry drech and then take ou the wing with skin dip it in egg wash then dry drech with potato starch spices buttermilk and breadcrumbs and double frying and also I like to dry the chiken before marinating for some reason 😂
My favorite part of the bird, drums and thighs. I tried your pickle juice trick. Epic game changer!! My local supermarket in Maine has these show stopping locally made pickles.
One thing has been bothering me with all his videos about chicken is, he keeps calling the drumettes, drums. There is a difference. The drum is part of the leg, while drumettes are a part of the wings. Drumettes are much smaller compared to the actual drum. So when you eat wings you get flats and drumettes, not the actual leg drum like he pointed to in the video. Thank you for coming to me Ted Talk
Nick, I have been watching your cooking videos for a while and I absolutely love what you do! You helped me to develop my cooking skills and I have always wanted you to cook one of my favorite dishes of time... THE BEST DISH that Gordon Ramsay has ever tasted.. It is the Vietnamese noodle soup, aka Phở, it is so hard to make that a lot of cooks have failed to achieve it. As a Vietnamese I'm really looking forward to you making this wonderful bowl of noodles. I hope you see this message! Thanks
It seems to me like the flour + egg wing is the one all restaurants use because it looks the most appetizing out of all of them. The potato starch doesn't look quite as appetizing and I think that's the reason restaurants don't use that technique.
Well, agreed that: potato starch > egg + flour but there is still one game changer out there. Cornflakes !!! As far as I taste delightfull chicken wings, I would always go for cornflakes. Have a try Nick. All the best, peace.
I like using quang tran’s method. He used soda water for the wet batter and has 2 bowl in which he has regular flour and seasoned flour. It makes the chicken glass shattering crispy
You know what is FAR better than even drums- thighs, from the leg area not wing area, boned and quartered, karaage style! Also, due to no bone you don’t have to do the double fry, as it will cook through the first time.
in my op i always go for the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs coat. just coat the flour first egg and then breadcrumbs, i always love the crispness of it, and it never gets dry or old.
Can we use cornstarch instead of Potato starch? I heard they work the same way. Also, apologies if my question is a bit odd. Im just a beginner and your videos really made me love cooking.
Honestly if you do a fried chicken wings series you'll probably be my favorite foodtuber. Maybe do an episode where you go full on rich gang and do the most expensive chicken wings you could imagine. I know I would be stoked
The potato starch ones can't really be stored and be the same as if it was fresh fried. Probably the same for them all. And maybe because I've only just now got a deep fryer and been frying in a pot using a meat probe thermometer to keep the temperature
It actually shocks me that he doesn’t know this, but then again he actually makes a huge amount of errors in his videos, for example he called a “surprise apple” or “Pacific rose apple” a ROSE APPLE, which is actually not an apple at all, and is a different fruit from Southeast Asia, like pineapple is not an apple.
I have actually worked at Popeyes as a cook. They do as follows. Marinated chicken goes in seasoned flower, then in a batter mixture, then back into flour, and then fried. You're welcome. 😘
With the egg + flour, the egg whites expand causing it to be more fluffy! If you drop egg whites in hot oil it literally goes crazy haha it’s my go to for any fried food 😊
my sister is allergic to gluten so i have been eating and making cornstarch and potato starch fried chicken for sooo long i never thought a chief would be using those ingredients wow!!!
I just realised why he always records below his neck when cooking, Pesto is controlling him to cook and everytime he shows us his face he puts down pesto!?!!!?!
You should try dipping them in corn starch, then egg wash then flower. You have the best of both worlds, corn starch to lock in the juice, with flowery egg exteriors.
You need to do another video with Guga! You and Angel vs Guga and Mamau, with some of his/your friends to judge the meals without knowing who’s is whos. You both have the same ingredients but you can cook them however you like. This video would be one of the most viewed cooking videos on RUclips 100%!
Or even You vs Guga with Mamau and Angel to judge! Please make this happen. Massive fan of both of your channels and I’ve learnt to much from both of you on this amazing platform. ❤️
Okay just to clear the air here. You are eating drumettes. Not the drum. Drumettes are not as good as flats. Drums are better than flats. But you didn't cook chicken legs lol
Don't forget to spank that like button! REALLY fun video coming up this Saturday :) I'll keep it a surprise for now.

Hi
ok
Actual facts.
same chain?
more sleep streams
I like flats more, because of the superior skin to meat ratio, and the crisper skin
nah, you get less meat
hey
@@sanjeevv.9901 they didnt say its more meat, its just a better balance of skin and meat than drums.
@@valkyriekittyx I didn't say they said more meat. I was just saying why Drums are superior and how the skin to meat ratio was not enough to tradeoff less meat
@@sanjeevv.9901 Crispy skin is superior to meat. Fight me!
I actually used the buttermilk pickle juice, potato starch trick for my party and it was a hit!,
Thank you nick!

What do serial killers and people who eat fried chicken have in common?
They both think the skin is the best part.

The camera man is one of the reasons I watch your videos. 😂😂🙏🏻
Manny?

Nick: you’re fired you’re actually fired
Nick, the drum and the flat are actually both the part of the wing. The drum is more the bicep of the wing while the flat is the forearm of the wing
Nick: *S P A N K S* chicken
Chicken:*Moans*
Nick: Hey I told you not to do that on camera! We were just going to the *bedroom*

you should've tried the method of coating in flour then putting it into water then flour again....it gives a very good crispy layer as well
The two things nick has taught me
first, really good recipes
second, im two lazy too cook
Fun fact. The little drums you are cooking are actually part of the wing. It's the part which connects the flats to the chicken. I'm sure 99% of people are aware of this

Hmm. Rice flour is decent, but if you’ve got corn flour that will be even better!

Crispy, tender and juicy chicken are always the best. Also the jokes are always funny and makes me laugh 😂
I absolutely love his casual jokes. Like- he just says it and that's all, doesn't over exaggerate them like most people.
My favorite part of the bird, drums and thighs. I tried your pickle juice trick. Epic game changer!! My local supermarket in Maine has these show stopping locally made pickles.
He got that wrong those were the legs the drums are still part of the wing closer to the breast and lower than the flat

i cant stand this he actually doesn't know. i can forgive drummette lovers my brother is one but to call a drumstick a drummette? unforgivable
Yea
Thank god someone actually said it. I don’t think he’s ever actually broken down a chicken.

Yeah nhưng hơi buồn là có vẻ nick ko thấy r
Some people do a combination of flour and starch and I think they look real great!
It seems to me like the flour + egg wing is the one all restaurants use because it looks the most appetizing out of all of them. The potato starch doesn't look quite as appetizing and I think that's the reason restaurants don't use that technique.
Boned thighs look amazing, what everyone should use. Also I think flour is cheaper…
ahhh man i thought you’d do egg + starch too, that woulda been cool to compare. Still a great video, loved it and can’t wait to see more!!
My 5 year old would absolutely die if you said hi to him! He wants to be a chef because of you!
Looks good
How does it looks good when he just uploaded the video
Well, agreed that: potato starch > egg + flour but there is still one game changer out there. Cornflakes !!! As far as I taste delightfull chicken wings, I would always go for cornflakes. Have a try Nick. All the best, peace.
wtf..
Nick : * smacks Chicken *
Chicken: *oNi cHaN~*
Potato starch is the real hero behind the crispness of the chicken
Fried chicken is fried chicken
Delicious either way ✨
Nick: uploads a video that doesn’t require waygu.

Flats > Drums.
Change my mind
No
Maybe, but thighs are the best.

The potato starch ones can't really be stored and be the same as if it was fresh fried. Probably the same for them all. And maybe because I've only just now got a deep fryer and been frying in a pot using a meat probe thermometer to keep the temperature
Nick, the drum is attached to the flat, it’s called the drummete. The one you were talking about was the drumstick.
The best thing is the thigh, attached to the drumstick.
It actually shocks me that he doesn’t know this, but then again he actually makes a huge amount of errors in his videos, for example he called a “surprise apple” or “Pacific rose apple” a ROSE APPLE, which is actually not an apple at all, and is a different fruit from Southeast Asia, like pineapple is not an apple.
