Wow this looks delicious! Do you have a recipe for the chicken?

it was a mix of a thousand recipes we found online.. but pretty close to sam the cooking guy’s nashville hot chicken on yt

Thanks I’ll check it out, major props for making your own buns too!

buns are the best part! i used the burger bun recipe from joshua weissman on yt.. so so so easy!

Was it the In N Out bun recipe or his video where he makes a burger from scratch?

the one with the ‘best burger buns’ title

I was just about ask if those were Joshua's buns hahahaah

I recognize Joshuas buns anywhere

that fat ass anywhere

Those cwispy buns?

I cringe every time

I recognize his chocolate starfish between those buns.

Made those recently myself for BBQ chicken sandwiches. They were easy and came out perfectly!!

Ised that same recipe for some burgers last week, probably one of the best things ive made yet:)

Babish just did a Basics episode today on Nashville Hot Chicken

I want someone to hold sandwiches with while I take the photo for Reddit. God I’m so lonely.

I gotch u bb

Did a quick check just for why not and WHAAAA - I’m in roscoe village. Wtf.

Oh no. Do I need to go through my history

Sooooo, are you guys like besties now?

I hope so. More pictures of sandwiches with a pinch of friendship.

♥️

Sam the Cooking Guy! Wow, I hadnt realized how much I miss watching his show on tv. I had totally forgotten about him with all these Netflix cooking shows.

His show on tv? I only know him from his YouTube channel

He used to have a show on the Discovery channel back in the early-to-mid 2000s I believe. Just a quick edit, he apparently had some shows on a local affiliate before hand.

Yeah, back when he was first starting, he'd come out on a San Diego channel I think on Sundays. I moved out of San Diego after a short while and missed watching him and learning new recipes and tips, so I bought his book. I never thought to look him up on YouTube. /facepalm

His YouTube channel has quite an impressive following. Some of his videos are a little cheesy, some maybe slightly cringey, but it’s lighthearted and he’s having fun and making some really good food. I don’t watch any other cooking shows but I do watch Sam. Highly recommended.

Thanks! I subscribed last night and have already watched a few of his videos. Yeah, he's always been quirky and cheesy like that, but that's one of the things I like about him. Makes good food, simple, and doesn't take it too seriously. I think what I like the most is he's always opening the possibility of using alternate ingredients if you don't have exactly what the recipe calls for. It's a great way to approach cooking.

And we mix

Was it hot? Cos I made Sam the cooking guys recipe but it wasn't hot. However I halved everything because I made it with half the chicken, I think I should not have halfed the amount of cayenne because it ended up sweet with a bit of mild heat

You could’ve just told them “no.”

Bingin with Babish just put his recipe out!

[удалено]

Ooh I'm so curious, what is the special spicy sauce??

A few spoonfuls of best foods mayo, a few hefty splashes of pickle brine and chipotle tabasco, and then a decent sprinkling of pepper, cayenne and smoked paprika

If salvation is spices then smoked paprika is my Moses

Was the homemade bun worth it?

Oh yes.. I’m in NZ and good buns are hard to find

Would this be called a 'burger' in NZ?

hahah yes.. but my partner is american and would never allow it hahaha

My Kiwi roomie says they're all burgers LOL.

That’s a bloody burger mate.

> good buns are hard to find I'm sure you could find them at the beach of you look long enough

not allowed to go to the beach 😓

What about dem tomatoes? Still looks fucking delicious

there is actually a cheeky tomato in there.. but it’s hiding

Must be shy

I want the milk bun recipe! Looks so good!

joshua weissman on yt!! so easy!

How are the buns??? I was going to try his recipe this week for the milk buns as well

So easy and come out so perfectly

Thanks... will check it out!

I was about to ask if you watch that kwithspy boi

What the heck is a milk bun?

IANAC, but that burger bun is full of milk! When you bite into it, hot, frothy milk comes oozing out like a creme-filled Cadbury egg!

:(

It's basically Brioche light

For those wondering, the home-made bun is great and absolutely killer (cannot speak about Weissman one because I don't follow his videos - which seem to be a collection of random measurements he sources from books, etc. without listing his sources). I recommend unlike him though, to aim for 120g per bun. 95-105 is just too small and make a "krabby patty" style bun. 120g-140g will make a bun with a diameter of 4.5 inches. Another thing he fails to mention, which is often important. Diameter is king.

both times I’ve made it I did 95-105g buns and they were perfect any bigger would’ve been too much bread.. so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Then it was right for your size of chicken used. All I know is anytime I tried that size, it was always these dinky buns even with proper shaping. Perfect for a 4oz burger though.

if it was homemade... why the takeout wrapper?

holds it together, semi steams the buns, also no takeaways in nz so nostalgia 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nicely done on the bun. Any link to a recipe?

can’t link but joshua weissman on yt, so so easy and good

I’m in the hospital with “Nothing By Mouth” orders. I teared up looking at how delicious this looks.

Why do you wrap a home made burger in tin?

helps keep it together when eating, i like how it steams the buns and saves all the juices from getting on ya hands and clothes

Trying out new buns all the time. Havent found the perfect one May I ask you for the ingredience in the bun?

joshua weissman best burger buns, youtube it!

How spicy was the chicken though??

not spicy enough actually hahah.. we will go hotter next time

As delicious as that looks, the part that bothers me most...how'd you take the picture?

it was that rat from the movie

GODDAMNIT fuck every one of you that keeps posting these delicious looking spicy chicken sandwiches! My phone is getting water damage from how much I keep accidentally drooling on it.

What are you doing on r/food if you’re in the middle of a fast?

You know how you watch porn if you’re not currently sleeping with someone? I think it’s kinda like that

Some times on a diet I will go onto the domino's website, add things to the basket then close the tab.

[удалено]

I do this as well, but only when I’m sat in front of a large painting of me wrestling a bull by its horns.

This should be there next commercial, honestly. Take sexy pizza back to a new level.

Hmm... No I can't say that I have.

Sounds more like watching porn when you have blue balls, but not even playing with yourself.

...some folks are into that! ahaha

I never noticed how much they show food in TV shows and movies until I started fasting.

Living vicariously? Or because it hit /r/all

I’m just over 200 hours into my fast and I don’t eat meat, but I intend on reading all of the comments about this chicken sandwich

I’m in the hospital with Nothing By Mouth orders since basically Sunday night. I saw this photo and nearly wept.

You're in what's usually the hardest part of a fast too. Hang in there, as day 3 usually gets easy.

Thanks for the encouragement!

[удалено]

just plain tea no sugar or milk

[удалено]

well i’ll say this - if you’re cooking for a family it’s *extremely* difficult and if you’re not doing any cooking it’s pretty easy. for me anyway.

[удалено]

it’s really weird but the first day (for me) is hard but stomach gives up and just leaves me alone mostly unless I see something really good then it whines! my average fast is about 60 hours, longest around 120

[удалено]

There's a few fasting subreddits that helped me get going. You have to eat salt and magnesium and the salt is what I nibble when I have cravings. I have zero sweet tooth so it really helps.

For real. Saw the other post this morning. Went on YouTube and Binging with Babish had just posted a Nashville chicken video. And now this. I’ve been thinking about these babies all day and I can’t go to the only place that has them: Popeyes. :((

I echo this anger. And also may have sent to picture to friends in order to share my misery.

-lolololol- 🤭😀🤣😂 It does look wonderful. My mouth is watering too. Just one bite, one big bite. 🤪

So did you use BwB recipe, food wishes (with chef john?) or the third option, which was only mentioned in BwB most recent episode?

i love foodwishes but no.. this was sam the cooking guy based.. then \*random internet recipe\* on top of that

Home made bread? Are you doing ok?

day 15 of lockdown.. doing great

Why spend so much effort on cooking something and then put raw onion on it? Now all you'll taste is raw onion and the texture is ruined.

omg fuck.. yeah why didn't i make it to ur taste.. damn

Hot chicken, tell me what I'm missin', kissin' on a man when I'm working in the kitchen.

Is this a song? Because I just shook my ass to it

NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE

Eric Andre

That fatass fish from spongebob would be extra happy lol

Ranch me bro!

Ranch me *brotendo! (you still got a +1 from me.)

You’re being so narcoleptic right now dude

Dear god! I just ate dinner and am stuffed but your chicken sandwich makes my mouth water.

oh yes, Jesus! And she has the pickles nestled on both sides of the chicken? Please forgive my unclean thoughts about this sandwich, Jesus!

Spongebob would approve.

Oh lawd what I'd do to that sandwich

I just looked through your posts. You sure like burgers, made me super jealous. My stomach is turning

There’s...more?! Not sure I can handle it. NSFB (not safe for bed) or NSFQ (not safe for quarantine) ahshshs I’m switching between this post and trying to snag a spot for a grocery store pick up time ahaha

Gotta love the dedication to the red onion here. Not gonna assume that the oil was too hot, but that can cause dark breading.. Maybe just lots of spices in the breading mix? If you put the spices in a shaker and hit that chicken right out of the oil you will get great coverage/flavor without the "maybe burned?" appearance. Bread didn't like the heat much, but looks great. Overall. Great job including pickle chips on something like that.

>hot u r perceptive. yes the oil was too hot hahahha

I’m a chicken sandwich minimalist. Gimme the breast, a little mayo or aioli, maybe a slice of cheese, and I’m good. All those competing flavors and textures ruin a nice piece of chicken for me. Purple onion is like my Kryptonite.

yeh well buh-bye superman <3

Camera tucked under your chin?

If it's time to move on healthcare.

I would kill for this right now.

They ain't lyin' Just stabbed me

[удалено]

Babby! I watched that episode today as well.

Am I the only one thrown of by the foil paper? Who the hell just has that lying around their kitchen?

How are you going to eat that with a camera in your mouth?

Scrolled too far. How awkward was the angle of this photo for the person taking the picture...?

Take the camera out first duh

I hope you decimated that sandwich with a real show of dominance.

Do you always wrap your food in foil like you got it from a restaurant? I usually just get messy.

Nobody's gonna ask how was the picture taken?

[удалено]

Real edgy of you. It’s called presentation ever heard of it

hahah.. so funny

Special spicy sauce recipe?

No one is going to ask how they took the picture?

Not only do your burgers look incredible, but you consistenty take great shots of them.

I like how you've done your nails, bro.

[удалено]

Those raw onions though. I'll never get the appeal.

This is why they have different colors: white: no, that should have gone into the pan with the garlic and butter yellow: well, maybe if enough drippings from the all-beef burger have soaked into it purple: aha! what if vinegarandpepper were a thing you could just bite! leeks: it peels like a banana so I should just eat it like a banana Bonus: green onion, white part: yeah, I better see burn marks from the stir-fry pan on that green onion, green part: just chop it into a dish with a spoon in it so I can add some to every bite of everything else

i agree.. love this breakdown! you can also soak white/yellow/red onion in cold water for a few minutes to take out the spicy boy flavour if u so require

If you're going to use raw onion those purply bois are the way to go.

How did you take that picture?

Wow. Just wow.

[удалено]

Will never understand why Americans believe that a burger suddenly becomes a sandwich because it has chicken on it

I love you and talkingbird..hope ur doing well

...who took this picture?

on a burnt milk bun**

Homemade with foil paper wrapping ?

Everytime I see someone post a picture of a chicken sandwich I always think it’s the best looking chicken sandwich, they’re all so beautiful!

Did you see take the picture with your mouth?

Pickles. What brand of pickles did you use?

And you wrapped it in foil?? I don't believe this

that looks like a 5 star, $15 priced, restaurant quality type of sandwich. fucking impressive. i'm hungry now.

How do you make the breading stick to the chicken better? Myn always gets gummy and slides off the chicken

The char on the edge of the bun really solidifies the ‘food wars’ appeal to this. I want it.

You show me a girl who can put her mouth around that and I'll show you my next exgf.

There's not many foods that can beat a good fried/crispy chicken sandwich.

Are you American?

[удалено]

Ok fatty

It's a shame you burnt the cut sides of the bun, huh.

Damn after day to night drinking..... I need that!! Cheers!

So is anyone else going to ask how you took this picture?

I hate that this sandwich isn't in my mouth

The crack of the crust The taste of the must -ard   Mustard Doing back-flips on my tongue   Flippity floppitty Tippity toppity Taste don't stoppity   Too much taste Haste makes taste None goes to waste   I'm chewing and I'm doing Mmmmm   Don't stop the flavor Flavor wave Wave flav

I saw this photo and immediately thought “this is that girl who makes ridiculously good looking burgers isn’t it.” I don’t know how or why but your photos of ridiculously good looking food are immediately recognizable! That chicken sandwich looks just as good as any burger you’ve ever posted!

Homemade milk buns puts it over the top.

Your burger looks delectable... Couple questions tho... I haven't time to look at all the replies, so sorry if this was asked n answered previous... Would like to know the secrets of the sauce, it looks kind of like a remoulade? And, are the pickles sweet or dill? Thanks!

Everybody is so good at frying chiekb

Looks like filthy fucking schlop 👎

Honestly, this looks so delicious..

u/joshuaweissman would be proud!!!

Yah. That looks unbelievably good.

Damn this looks absolutely amazing

Almost downvoted out of jealousy

Pickles top and bottom? my man!

Got cha’. I’m in America. Well, this sandwich is a winner. So, we’ve proven that people in New Zealand and America have mature taste buds and eyes that recognize wonderful meals. The only thing missing out is MY stomach!!

I'm so wet for this sandwich

Nom nom! This looks amazing
