i made a better chicken sandwich

Hello everyone. I'm back here somehow in one piece. It is a new day. It's a new week. We can look to the future. Whatever you do, don't turn around and look at the past, making an effort to reflect on what happened last time. week is not worth it I promise you that I think they did it to us last week. I don't remember the last time I took two L's in the same day as big as I did last week, but you know, let's move on, okay? It's fine if we can ever play Minecraft and look at Los Angeles, but equally after last week, it's fine, rest assured, I'm not going to jump on the counter this week, although many of you asked me to do a full cooking video where I just jump on things while cooking, unfortunately Jenna probably wouldn't like that and I would probably hurt myself and have to go to the emergency room and then no one would get delicious food prepared for them including myself so I'm making a selfish decision by backing out from the box jump in the kitchen today.

Okay, we did it last week twice. I told my coach that he was very proud of me anyway. We need to win this week. We just need to win and thankfully Herman gets off the table. Get off the table, we just talked about jumping the boxes under the tables and you box them on the table. I'm going to make myself a little tray this week because you know what I need. I need a victory. I need to be successful. I need something good. to eat I need something delicious and pretty to film, so we're going to go easy mode this week, okay, if you don't want to go easy mode with me, don't look at anything else.

I know there are a lot of things that I'm quite in touch with when it comes to the internet, when there are big trends, memes or crazy things happening. I feel like I'm at least pretty in touch to the point where I can understand what's going on with the

chicken

sandwich

thing. Outside of that, I'm completely lost as to why Popeyes and Chick-fil-a and, oh, this whole

chicken

sandwich

fad came out of nowhere. I wonder if they weren't selling chicken sandwiches. before it was because it's a new formula, maybe I'm sure I'll get yelled at for that in the comments, but I just didn't get it, it was cool because I don't know people who are excited about food.

It's exciting to me, but I didn't really get it and okay, okay, but here I am taking advantage of it because today we're going to make a chicken sandwich and it's going to be delicious, probably as delicious as any chicken sandwich. I have eaten when I was little. I used to really enjoy the chicken sandwich which I think was sold in a surprise box. I was like a little kid, we were going through the drive-thru one time on a bike and they were yelling at us. but I still have our food but if you take me a chicken sandwich like a fried chicken sandwich it's not something I remember choosing instead of burgers as I enjoy them a lot the crispy chicken dish really appealed to me so I wanted to make a full, crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich today, obviously

made

from plants, which I think is actually a relatively simple recipe and you can make it a lot of different ways;

There is no one way to do it, as we have seen, everyone has their own way. So this is my way and it's like a combination of a lot of different ways that I've learned in the past, different recipes here and there, so we'll do it for you. We're going easy mode this week and If you stay on the ground, those are the three rules, okay, so I would say the way I'm going to do this is a little extra and if you don't want to do it this way, okay. , you can find frozen versions of similar plants. chicken cutlet base and things like that that you can use.

I decided to go the really difficult and annoying route because yesterday I had some time to prepare it and that way you will take some firm or medium firm tofu and stick it in the freezer. That's all. You're done, no, I'm kidding, so you're going to let this freeze completely. This is some soy guy science. Okay, we're freezing and thawing the tofu. You're going to get it out. the freezer, put it on the counter, maybe on top of a kitchen towel and you have to let it fall completely so you'll freeze it and then you'll thaw it and then once it's completely thawed you might wonder why aid.

I do that and then I say, let's do it again, so you're going to freeze it again and defrost it again, and I know it sounds stupid, but the method of freezing and thawing the tofu twice affects the texture of the tofu and what our chicken meat will be and the final product and gives it a sort of flaky air pocket II texture that you would find as a tender piece of chicken, whereas tofu on its own doesn't have that when you buy it from the store, so throw it in the freezer watch some Netflix , go for a run, take a nap and then take it out of the freezer and do it all over again and then we're ready to go so luckily I

made

mine and it's in the fridge. right now, so let's grab a pot, get out your notebooks, turn to page one and then skip to page five, leave the first five pages blank for doodling, you know, and if you forgot your pen, that's okay, no We're not going to write anything down, so we're going to start by making some marinade and this is what once the tofu has been frozen twice, this is what you're going to let marinate for six to 24 hours at any point in that time period. . keep this on super low heat and you'll have one of these, not chicken, cubed, which is actually a really good thing to cook with, just take two of them and you'll let them dissolve. in the water and this will create like a chicken broth, like we did with the jackfruit and then in my version of the two shots of vodka, we'll add a little bit of liquid smoke, but literally a little bit weighs less than I did last time , you'll take some salt, you'll spill a bunch on the stove, okay, everything's fine, and you'll want to break out the blue string cubes while the water gets nice and hot.

In a perfect world, it would have matched. little glassware things for my spices, but I don't do that so this isn't really Pinterest approved. Nobody posts this on Pinterest. You need matching glassware or you have to go out. Hello, we are welcome on Pinterest, this will go in our flour mixture. I actually think I've made this or a similar flour blend before here on the channel, but it's going to be our breading for the fried chicken we're making and I personally like a little bit of spice, a little bit of flavor for the fried chicken, it doesn't wash . cake never again actually before you came here we agreed that we were going to talk about it I'm making fried chicken we're going to take our mixture which should be hot but not like boiling and we're going to pour it into a container and this is where we're going to marinate and then you are going to add a splash of olive oil and mix this and now we are going to take our tofu that you have frozen and thawed twice you are going to take Take it out of the tofu press and we are going to immerse it in our marinade.

This will disappear for six to 24 hours, depending on how much time you have and how tasty your tofu is. Put it in the refrigerator to cool. the fat will reduce a little bit and it should give us something like this, so this is our Toph block we have here and I'm actually going to cut it burger style in half. I don't know if it is possible. Actually, tell me, but to me the texture of tofu after doing the freeze and thaw technique is much more like a spongy air pocket and II. I don't know how else to describe it, like when you process it.

Fake, it looks like this. We're going to cut it like this, so we have to divide slightly larger pieces into slightly smaller pieces. From now on we can set this aside until we start frying, which will be soon, but first we need to make our flour mixture. Well, you're going to take 1 2 cups of flour and then we're going to add a little bit of nature. I'm going to do about 2 tablespoons of this teaspoon of sugar or a pinch of Aries which is not sugar, it's iodized salt and then a small pinch of real sugar. Here we'll just go through the list of spices: paprika, ground ginger, rosemary, time salt, dill, sage and marjoram, onion powder, coriander and cayenne mixed with red pepper flakes, okay, so you'll whisk the dry mixture together and that's it. delicious, I can already smell it, trust me, you will be excited to have your breaded chicken in this, let's put that aside for now and we will prepare a bowl for our Mayo mixture, make about two tablespoons of lemon juice, then we will make 1/2 teaspoon celery seed.

I haven't actually tried this recipe, so it could be bad. Then we will both suffer together. Do some ground pepper and you'll actually take a clove of garlic and mince it. Okay, this garlic is finely chopped and last but not least, obviously we're going to need some mayonnaise, so we're going to use our best foods, vegan mayonnaise, which is so great that it exists from time to time, take the your son's spoon and I probably don't. I don't know, we're going to make two sandwiches, so I'm going to make enough and I'm going to mix this together and it's going to be a little bit creamier and a little bit thinner than regular mayonnaise, but it looks good, you can see the spices inside. damn, that's delicious, this is the last boring part, we're going to make par or buttermilk, you're going to put in some milk of your choice, we're using cashew milk right now and about a tablespoon of vinegar, and you're also going to add some hot sauce and we're just going to mix this together and this is going to be our wet mixture, are we ready to make it to you?

It's time to plug in the stove and start frying. I mean, that's pretty much it. Take our tofu, let's dip, dry, dip, dry and fry, that's my new song and the name of the band calls it, don't take it, it's mine, so we'll toast our buns and when we're done with our chicken, These will be ready and we can figure this out, now is the time to actually do it to them. Okay, you're going to turn on, you're going to grab your knife and put it in the sink because it's dirty and a responsible adult you're going to suppress all your Aries tendencies, you're going to take some vegetable oil and you're going to cover the bottom of the pan and about I don't know a quarter of an inch. , so we want our oil to be at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and then All you have to do right now is get your phone ready to make a beautiful Instagram post of this stuttering fried chicken that we're going to make and you didn't have to go fight against a crowd in a crowded restaurant.

I enjoy my food when I'm with maybe one person, but that's stressful and it's affecting my enjoyment of eating, which is my favorite thing to do in this world, so here we go, let's get wet, dry, keep those. the hands separate again to get wet and then dry once again so here we go baby they are going to spill some oil give yourself a scare and this is the best part this is when the fried chicken turns beautiful and you start to you smell it and it gives you this aroma of great food and food that doesn't taste like lava cake is fine, this is it, here we are going to choose the most delicious looking piece of chicken, which I think is this one.

We're just going to prepare right on our surface here, we're going to put this here, grab some of our wonderful bread and butter pickles from Grillo's, we're going to put in maybe two, now let's make three, three will fit, these are almost gone. because Jenna likes to just eat these and the last step of course okay so I have this laser thermometer that can measure the temperature look at her eyes you can tell it says bomb okay it's time for the final test of the freshly made chicken sandwich let's bite into it oh my god that's so good it's so messy because the bread I used is like a rock but if I use regular bread it tastes so good the mayonnaise tastes amazing the pickles and the chicken are like they're Honestly, this is just, it's simple, you know what I mean, it's simple if you follow the instructions, it's pretty hard to go wrong and it tastes delicious.

Sorry, I can't stop eating this, this is incredibly good, this brings me back. man Popeyes Crispy Chicken Sandwich Popeyes whoo the texture of the tofu is actually a lot
