FRIED CHICKEN Sandwich with Fermented Kimchi Pickles | Makin' It! | Brad Leone

We Clevelanded up with the folks at Cleveland Kitchen to bring you this hot tasty freshly-fried pickly tangy crunchy fried chicken sandwich with some zing zang sauce. DO TRY THIS AT HOME!

Some practical/safety tips on frying chicken:
✅ Put a lid or a sheet pan to cover your cast iron when you’re not frying stuff since the oil is spittin’ hot #safetyfirst!
✅ Use a thermometer in your oil to make sure it’s about 350 degrees
✅ The oil will lose some heat once you add the chicken, so keep watching the thermometer in case you need to turn it up
✅ After about 10 minutes, check to see if the bubbles in your oil have diminished a lot — that’s an indicator that the chicken is cooked through
✅ Use a meat thermometer to make sure your internal chicken temp is 📛165 degrees minimum📛 (you can’t really put the genie back in the frying pan)

you know what distinguishes your cooking videos from everyone else? We get to see you thinking and adjusting in the moment. Some of my best ideas happen on the fly. Love ya!

[demelkon]

Brad I’m convinced you make the best sandwiches in YouTube after this and your burger, I’ve never supported tomato in a chicken sandwich until this you’re just in tune with flavour town man!

[mitchellgerrits]

My perfect kinda chef. Fun, funky, experimental, full of flavours

[simoneller]

I dont comment that often on Youtube, but thank you Cleveland Kitchen and Brad for arranging this kind of very gentle and organic product placement. It totaly fit your style with the previous fermentation series on BA (anything like that palnned for this channel?) and didnt feel like a forced integration at all. I might not be from the US and unable to buy the product but still very much appreciate this kind of lowkey advertising. Much better than the wallet and vpn stuff everyone just immediatly skips

[hogey]

I could not be more stoked that Brad has a personal channel now. I just found it and I'm about to watch them all. Been waiting for this.

[mikepereira]

I never noticed the USDA logo on the Ingredient Shrine graphic until now, and I’m laughing my butt off. The editor(s?) are amazing. The team in general is doing an exceptional job with the production of these episodes.

The "happy birthday to you" sung while you were washing your hands sure brought back memories of 2020-2021. I was able to smile a tiny bit at hearing it.

Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.
