McDonald's McNuggets, it's happening, the thing is happening, I already made Chicken-fil-a Nuggets, it was super fun. I think any of these guys are the king of Nuggets, boom, McDonald's McNuggets seem to have some kind of charm.

I don't understand, we'll try it and it will be great. Well, with all that said, let's do this. Come on, it's McDonald's time. I can't believe I'm doing this. This is like a violation of my own morals. Thanks YouTube. We are back. The golden arches came to our house. I didn't think they would break. in front but they pushed me and I opened the doors of my palace, we have the meat nuggies. I haven't eaten them in a while and I'm a little scared but we do this for science, they aren't very crispy but I haven't tried this. in so long and get it, it really tastes familiar a barbecue sauce that's kind of good for you, not bad, but I think it's appropriate to have it now before we make our thick nuggies.

I'm going to make a quick barbecue sauce, now stay with me here you're going to need 1 cup or 270 grams of ketchup 1/4 cup is 63 grams of dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon or 7 grams of smoked paprika 1 tablespoon of 10 grams of garlic powder why don't you have teaspoons it's four grams of kosher salt one tablespoon or 15 grams of Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons or 25 grams of Worcestershire sauce okay, look, I know there are a lot of ingredients ready, keep calm, keep calm, now we're almost there one tablespoon enough is 16 grams of young vinegar or Chinese black vinegar three tablespoons is 35 grams of rye whiskey, which is optional, okay, I know that's a lot of ingredients, okay, just half a cup per one hundred and twenty milliliters of water 3 tablespoons is 35 grams of distilled white vinegar and an optional splash of pure dashi after that, it's very simple, just whisk it up, bring it to a simmer and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until thick and sticky like that and you will have a beautiful barbecue sauce ready for any

chicken

nugget.

Speaking of which, okay, so if we're going to make

chicken

, wow, you're going to need chicken. I broke this whole chicken down just for the Flex, but you're actually going to need a pound and a half of chicken breast and I bought a quarter of a pound of chicken skin, okay, everyone likes it, well, the taste of it, okay, cut it up Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and chop chicken skin. Now look, I know the next process is small scale, okay, I'm grinding the meat through a meat. grinder, but it's just a stove and accessory that costs like 40 bucks or something.

The link for mine is in the description but if you don't want to do it that way then you can do it in a food processor, just make sure you get it as fine as possible now once all the meat and skin has been ground , place them in a bowl and mix with two teaspoons or 14 grams of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon or 7 grams of granulated sugar and half a teaspoon or 1 gram of MSG yes, the right way to make McNuggets, oh, so it's all together until that's well combined until it's nice and smooth like this, then put it in the freezer for 10 minutes to harden or let's wait, let's set up our frying station, fill a heavy bottomed pot with enough oil to reach between 2 and a half and 3 inches tall, but no more than 60% full, according to my research, there is a three-part separation process.

First, you will make a very thin dough that will consist of a quarter cup or 45 grams. of cornstarch, whisk together with one cup or 240 milliliters of water and that's it, along with the flour dredge consisting of three cups or 450 grams of all-purpose flour, one heaping tablespoon or 22 grams of kosher salt, half a teaspoon or two grams of monosodium glutamate, one teaspoon. or three grams of freshly ground white pepper and 1 teaspoon or two grams of celery powder were combined until the lamblia is well combined and the new 8x8 baking dish with peel is poured and lastly there is a kind of dough of strange tempura consisting of half a cup or 75 grams of cornstarch yes pat it very good idea josh good job 3/4 cup 103 grams of all purpose flour one and a quarter teaspoon or four grams of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon or 1 gram of baking soda, but ready together until well combined and an 8-ounce cup of cold water, add 2 beaten eggs to that whisk until everything is well combined and that's your tempura, Now to make your Nuggets, you will take out the firm ground chicken, form them into chicken nuggets.

The similar shapes are a little chunky, but you know how I feel about that. 27 see baby, if they are too sticky, wet your hands slightly before shaping them now in batches, first place them in the fine cornstarch mixture and then mix with the flour mixture until well coated, shake off the excess flour unless Dip them in the tempura batter. Now wait from the tempura batter and you will quickly place them in oil that has been set to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Optionally, if you want a little extra flaking, you can bring them to the surface. using a spider and just let your battered hands drip onto the nuggies again, that's optional and takes some skill, skip it completely if you want, let them fry for 5-7 minutes in batches or until nicely browned, remove and place them.

Place them on a rack to cool and repeat with the rest. Next thing you know, you have McNuggets at

home

with a barbecue sauce that will make you cry yourself to sleep. These are mine, I know, and then this is McDonald's, obviously mine. a little bigger because I like it extra thick too sticky now the McDonald's nugget we're back it's weird right like it tastes good but I still hate it so I'm going to go and try mine don't do it too fast the first thing you do I know the pretty similar flavors, the message definitely helped the crunch, this is much more delicate, although there's not much left in this, it's finally okay, so let's try the sauce, oh right, we get there, this is my sauce, my sausage very good , mine is definitely more complex.

Chiqui nuggie plus the sauce I think, all things considered, we definitely won, but not exactly just by a landslide. McDonald nugget I think they're decent, they're not as bad as I thought they were to be honest, but they're still pretty too. Pretty depressing, I guess for this one we'll do it my way, want to know what else he'll get away with? be well guys and that's it, so Mick, chicks in the bag, I think we did a wonderful job, you know, improving something that's really not that good, obviously not that difficult, but this one in particular was a challenge.

I don't know why it just was. I felt like the product we got was a better product, but not necessarily in the way I expected. Even better and the sauce helps a lot, yes this was fun like load and all the series, but better. I think I'll upload an additional but better series per month, so I was doing. I think I'm going to start making three, but anyway if you enjoyed this video or have an incident, leave a like, subscribe and I'll see you around.
