[KoRnBaKo]

Chef John uploads a new video and I give the play button the ol' tappa tappa.

That oil level is clearly above the MAX line. Chef John likes to live dangerously....

Chef John, your recipes are 100% in alignment with my palate and food preference 100% of the time.

[BLVINEOCKERMVN]

Listening to you narrate is like riding an audio rollercoaster.

I made the sandwich, chef John, and I must say that it does taste exactly like chic Fila, that being said, it's a world class sandwich.

You are, after all, the James Taylor of how to make spicy chicken named after a sailor

Used to work at a Popeyes when I was a teenager (first job) - can confirm that Popeyes does not use cornflakes in their breading. It's a seasoned all purpose flour (I don't recall the season mix used)

I have been watching this man for over a decade. He has taught me well 🙏

“The DIY never runs out and is always available on Thank you! Chef John, you know what the people want and it’s fantastic! Also, “Certain valley that’s kinda of best foodie lines ever! Thank you for the laughs and the recipe.

I just started watching Chef John a few months ago. I think his voice and cadence are a lot more addicting than MSG could ever be!! I LOVE IT!!!

[tristanandersen]

The “flakes” that Popeyes batter has is a result of a high volume kitchen not really fretting about keeping wet and dry ingredients separate. Over the course of the day, the buttermilk mixture gets dripped into the seasoned flour, forming adhesive little “beads” that puff into a cornflake-like texture in the fryer.
You can recreate this at home by just drizzling a little wet into your dry and mixing before the last dry coating.

Don't know about corn flakes, but Popeyes cooks in beef tallow. I've hauled tons of it from the South Chicago Packing to a distribution center for Popeyes.

I would go with 3 dredges, since I am after all the Otis Redding of my chicken breast breading.

“A certain valley that’s Fairly well hidden” 😂😂😂

[jayegant]

I made this today with your sweet potato burger buns and it was AMAZING. I flattened my chicken a bit and cut each piece in half. I also just mixed the marinade with an egg for dredging. My roommate and I were crying from how good it was! Crunchy and full of flavor all the way through.

[bccanoe]

That aggressive crunching made the carrots in my fridge nervous.

[masterimbecile]

You are, after all, the John Mitzewich, of your fried chicken sandwich.

Had a dream i dated a girl who said Chef John was her uncle and I was so impressed.

[Bryant]

The way this man speaks, something about it, I can't put my finger on it. It just keeps me going!

[namerequired]

This was delicious, i had some "technical difficulties", but my brother said it was better than Chik fil A. Thank you for this recipe!
