Glad you guys decided to do this. Watching the video before, it was indeed painful to see them eat it in a sub-optimal environment, and I'm not even Korean!
it was worse then sub optimal it was their store. there store ant anywhere near china, Korea, or Japan town. their not even in the same district let alone burrow. that's old takeout chicken their getting. these are master chiefs, give them it fresh. not an hour or so old.
I went into that video having loved and tried many fried chicken joints all over the US and a Korean spot in Chicago being my favorite never considered that run of the mill Korean chicken existed.
@@bloopblop5045 I think you got confused reading that. BBQ chicken is a pretty darn good Korean chain, well known in Korea. Point is they didn't have it fresh in the first video.
i agree but given the chef at the korean place is part of a franchise and doesn't have a direct hand in creating the dishes and menu it might not hit the same
24:12 I love how he describes he can taste where it is from. There is a certain art of cooking with spice that compliments their flavors in different ways.
I LOVE that they gave Korean Fried Chicken the chance it deserves!! And love that these chefs show how much they honestly enjoyed it and not just tried to belittle it since it's not what they are familiar with ❤
I loved to see they were doing BB-Q Chicken on here. We do food runs to there at work every so often and we know that the sauces are prepared either daily or often and not mass produced. Because, mother of god can you tell the difference in who prepared the sauces that day. Sometimes the spice-heads are just just enjoying it and the rest are kind of sweating, but on some days, nearly the entire office is like incapacitated and dying. Anytime BB-Q chicken comes up for the food run, the whole place gets on edge in a good way because it is SO good, but you don't really know what you're going to get, we love it.
Very high praise coming from them! Charles' restaurant is easily in the top 3 of all fried chicken in NYC. So nice to see this beautiful bridging of cultural differences and similarities.
Guys I love that you are doing these kind of videos, appreciating similarities in each culture is such an appreciation and shows great respect, thank you
I really enjoy these episodes! I don't know it's fascinating to see people who have a passion for their food explain it to others who have never had their food. It makes me smile because it's like bridging together two things that are similar and different. And I get to learn a lot.
@@honeyofoats5619 We're not talking about published recipes. We're talking about the techniques. All these things came from Africa, including the spices that Europeans had no access to until they traded and then colonized areas with culture. We all know y'all didn't take baths and were being wiped out by unsanitary conditions until black people came around. Yall still eat raw food and people cut the bs.
Not sure if you guys mentioned this in the video but I think it's important to know black American soldiers taught Koreans how to cook fried chicken during the korean war. American style frying. It's important to know the history.
no they didn't, koreans had a fried chicken dish called "kanggpoongi" since the 18th century, which is what the modern day korean chicken is based off, and if you think its important to know history, its a fact that "modern american style" fried chicken is from scottish immigrants who taught black southerners.
I like the soy garlic one best, but I also like the original of course. There’s one outlet in Hawaii so I was lucky to try these chicken!! In Hawaii we have so many cultures that a restaurant local style kind will have fried chicken, Korean kalbi, Japanese foods, Portuguese foods, Hawaiian foods and you can pick 2 or 3 choices for one “plate lunch” I hope you take these chefs to different Korean restaurants that serve other foods!! And other way around!! Would be so much fun!!
I love how fried chicken/soul food has created such a long lasting cultural exchange between black Americans and Korean people. Remember the recipe for fried chicken, corn bread, collard greens, and other soul food dishes made in South Korea come from a cultural exchange between black American G.I. soldiers and Korean chefs. That’s why the food tastes so similar.
2 things i think that can really bring a tear to my eyes are music and food. Its funny to think that if we remove 'vision' from the equation and focus on the other 2 senses we have - its all brings us as one. Keep up the good work my dude. amazing video as always. :)
Korean fried chicken is just a whole different level. I love the crunchiness and the sauces!! Still love me some homemade southern fried chicken tho!!! But this cultural exchange is one of the best ever!
I lived in Songtan, Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-Do, Republic of Korea for three and a half years. They have the best fried chicken in the world. Take them to go eat Anshim steak next. It's next to Wagyu, but served Korean style, obviously. Awesome video, I have two Korean sons and I love them and their culture very much.
When I lived in the UK years ago I took a Korean to Nandos and he really wasn't impressed and told me Korean Chicken is so much tastier. Some time later I find myself living in South Korea and yes, Koreans really love their chicken, especially fried chicken and beer. Practically outside every apartment complex and street in the center of town will have a fried chicken place.
It’s nice to see masters of a craft appreciating the differences. I remember seeing one video of Richard Petty, the legendary NASCAR driver taking Jackie Stewart, the Scottish F1 champ for some laps around a circuit in a muscle car. He was using lots of NASCAR terms like tight, loose and wedge when explaining how the car feels, which would have been alien to Jackie. But you could see Jackie sitting attentively like an honor roll student, soaking in the wisdom from a fellow sensei.
Sooooo, this made me go straight to my search browser and there is a Korean BBQ chicken place in Dallas! I can't wait to go eat! 🎤Big back, big back..I eat all the snacks..🎤😁
6:30 That's a fascinating observation Southern Fried Chicken is about the sides to add on to the experience. Korean Fried Chicken is about the sauces. Huh, that never registered for me.
@@Shagyamum Korean and chinese chicken is so boring and bland to me compared to southern good southern chicken is just the best in the world even though lets be honest the scottish were doing it before everyone else.
ive been watching for a couple days in a row binging as many as i can. Really have to say the quality and consistency of your production is amazing. Hard work is paying off and its not just a quick 10-15 minute video doing a biased review. These are real and they treat you like a normal customer too.
Dude this was really awesome to watch, they were made for the camera thats for sure. Keep this trend up, now take a korean fried chicken chef to charles now and see what they think. Genuinely its just a good Video formula.
That Korean fried chicken place, BBQ CHICKEN, their secret sauce is so fire..! I crave it sometimes. I bought some for my friends... LOL AND they got their families addicted to it too... LOL!
As a Korean, I approve now because of you taking them to eat it fresh. This stuff is best in Korea though. If they actually want real Korean fried chicken then tell them go to Korea. Never forget the other classic dishes, although a lot of them are spicy. But there are many non spicy dishes for every spicy dishes. 치맥 comes from the two words which are 치킨 for chicken and 맥주 for beer.
@@travis1271 there are many options for some fried chicken. Although, they taste essentially the same. Rule of thumb is never to get them for takeout. Always get them at the resteraunt when it is crispy. Some chains are bbq chicken, puradak, and BHC chicken. All of them taste the same. Although puradak does market themselves as a better fried chicken chain, but to me all of them taste about the same.
When our family moved to Korea in 2001, I was unaware of Korean Fried chicken and was shocked that 1) So many fried chicken restaurants 2) the large number of Popeyes in my neighborhood and 3) the various options available ... fam favorite was garlic. When I first arrived, I taught English at a Korean preschool (Shout out to Gorilla Preschool). W had a discussion about fried chicken and one of my students was VERY insistant... "Popeyes fried chicken is Korea Fried Chicken" She was absolutely precious. To this day, I can't pass a Popeyes without seeing her sweet lil' face. FYI... the best fried chicken is my mama's. Chicken that's been brined, seasoned and fried in a seaso Ed skillet in a mix of bacon grease and peanut oil. (When done, before tossing the grease, fry a batch of fries after filtering... its a good thing that will bevome your fried chicken ritual.)...
On my Korean deployment I had Korean fried chicken all the time. The young lady running the place though I was crazy eating fried chicken several times a week but there are several choices to eat and it is good. I generally got a just a few pieces as I did not want to cook and had all the Korean side dishes at home.
During the 80s or 90s, there was an economic downturn in Korea that resulted in a bunch of laid off blue collar guys with zero restaurant experience opening small fried chicken stands and competing with each other. The modern Korean fried chicken has roots in that. I find that interesting because it kind of recreated the origins of jazz music, where you had poor kids with no formal education making music to try and get by.
"recreated the origins of jazz music" this has nothing to do with that. Black American GIs showed Koreans this and Jazz is and fried chicken is Black American culture what in the hell are you talking about.
So a 24 hour marinade/brine followed by batter then flour then directly to oil. Also shallow pan frying instead of a deep frier, and drop it in carefully. Extra spices go into the flour... wonder how to make the sauces though?
You know it’s good when OG stopped talking and was just smashing all the chicken 😂
Crying bro🤣🤣🤣

@@bloopblop5045 possible. completely based on what type of franchise they are

Love these videos man, food bringing every culture together is so wholesome
Take the Korean fried chicken chef over to try Charles’s chicken now. Got to keep the ball rolling
They have to
Yup. They have to do it now!
i agree but given the chef at the korean place is part of a franchise and doesn't have a direct hand in creating the dishes and menu it might not hit the same
Chef in the hat ain’t say much but he cleaned them bones said enough 😂😂😂😂😂
Its great when two different culture chefs learn from each other, makes them great world of sharing cooking tips that they might use in the end.
24:12 I love how he describes he can taste where it is from. There is a certain art of cooking with spice that compliments their flavors in different ways.
Thank you for this new and improved video. Koreans take a lot of pride in their food just like these two chefs. Food is love.
The sharing of cultures can best happen when meals are shared. The fresh Korean fried chicken made a HUGE difference in how it came across.
Total respect for you guys doing this again and giving those pros proper korean fried chicken!
I LOVE that they gave Korean Fried Chicken the chance it deserves!! And love that these chefs show how much they honestly enjoyed it and not just tried to belittle it since it's not what they are familiar with ❤
Yea because it’s closer then we think it’s similar to ours because we showed them during the war

Black American soldier showed Koreans how to fry chicken.
Bring all the Black, Mexican and Korean chefs together for a cook off!
A cook together🙏
True but it's a black creation. Give the black chefs credit for teaching the Koreans during the war.
@@jauharilee7496 sorry, originated in Scotland not, from black people. Just like Mac and cheese the origin is for France and Italy

Now you gotta take the Chef from BBQ Chicken to Chef Charles' spot!
Love this series bringing different chefs to try Asian food
Might be location dependent but I've had the soy garlic and it's hella salty

Please take these chefs for Chinese style braised pigs feet. I know the will get a kick out of the differences from soul food style pigs feet:)

Southern fried chicken and Korean fried chicken is def both top tier.
Been loving every episode with these guys!!! Giving me ideas for when I finally go to NY haha
That secret sauce is my go to favorite at Chicken BBQ. Omg I want some right MEOW 🎉❤
Korean spice is NO JOKE, saying that as a Latina woman who loves spicy :PP haha its hot, but damn the flavor is good.
So glad that you took them to a traditional Korean BBQ Chicken restaurant…….

I love watching you eat food i wanna see your friends again!❤❤❤❤
The chicken looks so good.
When it comes to KFC, bb.q is solid. They got tons of locations so definitely give it a shot
The funny 😂 thing is blk american g,i”s was the ones who taught the Korean’s the american style of cooking
