Making The Chick-fil-A Spicy Deluxe At Home | But Better

Am I the only one who thinks Chick-fil-A is overrated? Unfortunately, I think today we will prove it. Look, it's a

chick

en sandwich. I don't have much to say about it. It's single-handedly been one of the most overrated

chick

en sandwiches in the entire chicken sandwich game, which is weird to say, but there's a chicken sandwich game now everyone has their chicken sandwich. I have them all. I'm like Thanos with the Gauntlet chicken sandwich and this is the last one. With all that said, let's do this. Hey, hey, hey, hey, come here. Don't know what to cook for dinner again?

I don't know well. I've got a solution. My new cookbook Texture Over Flavor is available to pre-order now. The links in the description work very well. It may look like a cookbook, but it's not. You can cut diced vegetables on their own. It can protect your skin from the sun. It even fits perfectly in a refrigerator or your glove. compartment can even seal a leaky roof instantly can make you stronger and helps you sleep

better

extra thanks about gusto if you want to change your life today book now links in the description for, I don't want to hear this There are no voices in my head anymore chicken fillet.

I've always hated the name of this place. I've always hated cows on billboards. The cows say, yes, please don't kill us or eat us, even though you're going to be eaten anyway. chicken This is a new building basically because they have added a lot of things to it. I'll give it an 8 out of ten. It's pretty solid. Now we have to take our order. Can we make a

spicy

chicken sandwich? I also make a Deluxe

spicy

chicken from them that's all oh I forgot to give their menu today I feel like giving them a 7 out of 10 because I like how simplistic the menu is that's true yes sir thank you very much I appreciate it thank you You know, like always, they have a good attitude, kind of low energy today, yeah, okay, we've got the thing, so I guess we'll go eat it, unfortunately, okay, we've got the bag.

Like, Chick-fil-A saves their bags. Simple, we always say it, although I love that they want to remind everyone that they serve fresh products every day from Monday to Saturday. I understood that there is one day left, the only fast food place that does that, as far as I know, I'm going to speed that up. It's true? I have to hand it to Chick-fil-A. Their sandwiches aren't that bad. I like that they are simplistic, but it really bothers me that they have no sauce. How is that acceptable? And this is what I'm not saying. Chick-fil-A is bad.

I'm just saying that, like when people rave and say, oh, I love Chick-fil-A, it's my favorite chicken sandwich. I didn't try it, but that being said, I like their rolls. You're mild you know, sometimes it works, I'm not going to lie, this particularly dry aspect I have to give props, it tastes good, they are a spicy chicken sandwich, it's one of the strongest points on their menu, but it's drier than the Mojave desert on the hottest day. of the year we have done it before doing it again since we last touched the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. I've played around with my bread recipe to get a softer, sweeter bread that's a little sweeter.

Hawaiian, but a little less sweet and softer than the finest silk. Money can buy

home

made pickles. Spicy fried chicken improved, but less talked about. More is done first, of course, let's talk about buns. I know many of you will buy buns but wait okay please go to the best bakery and get them fresh because I assure you the chances of you finding buns that are

better

than these are slim to none or you can make them and get a wet kiss and sloppy, so let's make it really simple with a stand mixer with half a cup more. one tablespoon or 135 milliliters of water at 95 Fahrenheit and half a cup or 125 milliliters of whole milk also heated to 95 Fahrenheit you got yeast followed by a third cup or 75 grams of white sugar, yes, that's a lot of sugar, trust me when I say these muffins They will leave you speechless.

They are too good. Now beat one egg yolk and one whole egg. Two teaspoons or 12 grams of fine sea salt and finally one gram of amylase. What is that, Josh? It's an optional enzyme that will give your bread toe-curling softness like the commercial stuff at the supermarket now add a dough hook to your mixer start mixing on low speed add three and a half cups or 525 grams of bread flour, one heaping tablespoon at a time until everything has been added, yes, while the machine is running just be careful with your hands because you don't want it to get caught in the stand mixer, that's okay, it's very dangerous mix until you have a smooth dough for about three minutes and then add four and a half tablespoons or 63 grams of softened unsalted butter if it's not softened you will end up with a lumpy mess and don't try to be smart here because you won't instantly feel smart if you you skip the smoothing step.

I love you, although mix for three to five more minutes until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture. roll the dough into a rough ball, put in a grease pan and cover with plastic wrap, of course, give the dough some personality, you know, it adds flavor, maybe not that kind of flavor rises at room temperature or an hour until it bends, hit that split bad boy. into 90 to 100 gram pieces, which should give you about eight balls in total, shape those balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, although I would recommend evenly spacing six balls on a Hershey pan so that your balls don't touch each other.

I'm just taking care of your buns here, cover with greased plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 25 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap. Brush each of your buns with an egg wash consisting of one egg and a splash of water, once they are all brushed, place them on. in the oven at 375 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until you have a delicious golden sphere that's ready to be treated like the spicy fried chicken throne of your dreams. Optionally, once they come out of the oven, you can immediately brush them with melted unsalted butter and then. let them cool completely on a rack over the pickles; pause, make sure you can use dill or you can make your own.

I decided to use bread and butter. I have recently heard complaints about the bread and butter in this sphere. Okay, I won't tolerate slander. Try them in this sandwich and I bet you'll change your mind forever, especially if they're my pickle or, well, my pickle recipe, so first you're going to take three pickled cucumbers and slice them about an eighth of an inch thick. with a knife or mandolin, also known as a finger death trap. Place those bad boys in a heat-resistant quartz-sized container, like a glass jar, then in a medium saucepan add one cup or 200 grams of white sugar, a quarter cup of 75 grams of kosher salt. one and a half teaspoon or one gram of turmeric powder one teaspoon or 5 grams of celery seeds one tablespoon or 30 grams of mustard seeds 2 cups or 480 milliliters of white vinegar two and a half cups or 120 milliliters of water and then prepare that bad boy over medium-high heat until it starts to boil and the sugar and salt are completely dissolved, pour the hot stuff directly over the cucumbers and make sure they are fully submerged.

You can use a small mold to weigh them and then leave them. cool until room temperature rises. Pickle is well done. Look. I know Chick-fil-A doesn't put mayonnaise on his sandwich, so I'm

making

someone call me unfair, but he's a very basic macho at the bottom of a wide-mouth cork container. two egg yolks one tablespoon or 15 grams of lemon juice two teaspoons or 14 grams of Dijon mustard one teaspoon or 5 grams of shiridashi optional one tablespoon or 15 grams of water a pinch of salt two cloves of grated garlic and finally pour carefully one and a half cups or 375 milliliters of canola oil vegetable oil avocado oil whatever you load your jar with, but not olive oil, gently place an immersion blender in the bottom of your container and let it rip bug shimi togarashi slowly bringing it up until everything is completely emulsified and has a nice stable mayo add additional salty flavor if necessary and now for the moment everyone has waited for the chicken, first you need six boneless skinless chicken thighs in a small bowl combined three tablespoons or 40 grams of Kosher Salt one tablespoon or 14 grams of white sugar 2 teaspoons or 9 grams of monosodium glutamate and beat until combined.

This is your season, season your chicken generously on both sides with your cure. Now at this point you can use them right away or you can leave them plastic. wrapped in the refrigerator overnight to let the chicken absorb that cure now once it's fried it's time to bread it. I call this dragee sauce. Actually, I didn't make this up a moment ago, but for your sauce you're going to take a medium bowl and combine two whole eggs add a pinch of salt beat until smooth and then we're going to peel an 8 ounce cup of whole milk now to dredge in a separate medium bowl add two cups or 300 grams all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons or nine grams one tablespoon or 14 grams powdered sugar 2 teaspoons or three grams freshly ground black pepper one tablespoon or 14 grams smoked paprika one tablespoon or 10 grams of garlic powder one tablespoon and a half teaspoons or six grams of ground white pepper half a teaspoon or two grams of onion powder 1 tablespoon or 15 grams of kosher salt one and a half teaspoons or four grams of cayenne powder then mix until That combined frying is the most important but it is also The simplest step is to take a piece of cured chicken, dip it in the sauce mixture, make sure it is completely coated and then immediately add the flour

making

sure to leave absolutely no stains bold, shake off excess flower and repeat with all chicken once done.

That's it, just fry these puppies at 350 Fahrenheit in a large heavy-bottomed pot filled halfway with frying oil such as canola. You can also use lard if you want to be a real G, fry about four at a time for five to seven minutes or until you get that classic gbd again which is golden brown and delicious while frying, you can give it a spicy finishing touch by getting a bowl small adding four teaspoons or 8 grams of shimi togarashi half a teaspoon one gram of cayenne powder 1 teaspoon or two grams of ground black pepper half a teaspoon or one gram of smoked paprika 2 teaspoons or 5 grams of kosher salt 1 teaspoon or 5 grams of white sugar mix on top of mine and set aside now once you have your gbd and your chicken has an internal temperature of around 165 Fahrenheit drain on a rack and optionally but recommended season with the togarashi hot spice and repeat with the rest of the chicken.

Finally time to put this together, carefully cut the buns in half, toast them beautifully in a pan with a little butter, yes, like the one of course, first your mayonnaise on the bottom bun, be generous, now don't be shy , add the pickles to the chicken, then mail the top bun and crown your king, but wait, something's not right, this could be better, you know what would happen if we made this the

deluxe

version? They have that at Chick-fil-A, so you're going to do everything you did in the list above, but instead of putting this together, you toast the buns, put mayonnaise on both sides, the pickles go down first, but this is where the things.

For a change, add a layer of green leaf lettuce, some thinly sliced ​​tomatoes that you seasoned with salt. I hope you even add a little pepper to your fried chicken and put a nice slice of pepper jack cheese on it that you will burn or grill until it melts. and wow now we really are looking at the king of chicken sandwiches now let's determine our winner okay we have my version and as you saw there is also the

deluxe

version it's literally lettuce tomato cheese okay one Simple, first, squeeze the juice, do you know what I do?

I'm going to say that we already know that the thighs are the way you want them to be moist, you can use breasts, that's fine, but it has less flavor, less juiciness and is harder to cook, this is a better sandwich period, end of the story and then, of course, what it is. this is the Double Down version or whatever is better, the deluxe is the way to go because it feels like a full sandwich. It's like I'm drunk on a Saturday morning and I'm going to do this thing that doesn't happen on a Saturday morning. but you get my point, you put the lettuce and the tomato, it's a complete meal, obviously, I think it's a win, so we're bringing in a taste tester to find out the real winner, here it comes again, go ahead, oh my goodness, do you? how did you do that?

Kendrick is taunting me with magic Wow, what is Kendrick really, what is that, what are you doing, for number one, there you go, number two, um, easily, second? Chick-fil-A is going broke, they think their chicken is so good they won't eat it. a sauce, most people put the sauce on the sandwich after eating it. I mostly tried the pickles as a pickle sandwich, while Josh's the Buns, the spices on the chicken, were a great experience. I think it isan easy dubbing to intensify your descriptions. Honestly, I have nothing more to say. Kendrick is teaching me that too.

Well, what's your magical way out of here? Oh, no, no.
