24-Hour Honey Butter Fried Chicken

I had a dream about this after watching too many Korean fried chicken videos last night. Double-fried with a glass-like crust, honey butter glaze, and juicy chicken goodness!

Alvin: waits 2 days for cookies and a day for fried chicken
Me: tries to wait 2 days but gives up and bakes it after 30 minutes

[Luna-rwup]

I’m starting to think Alvin comes up with the best ideas while sleeping. First the Shrek inspired onion rings and now this...

[gawd-zila]

Alvins future kid: Daddy, when will dinner be ready?
Alvin: Just 32 more hours.
Alvin Jr.: Ok
Alvin: Now, into the fridge little one.

Alvin: "My chopstick skills are not very good."
Also Alvin: *drains using only chopsticks without dropping the chicken into the sink*

[estellacorduroy]

This entire setting looks like its out of the ratatouille movie.

[ngzulin]

Alvin: ok imma make dinner
His family:I can't wait to eat it tonight
Alvin: no no dinner for tommorow

[yikesbutitstheworst]

It is like watching ninos home but without the insults, flexing and flirting

[shaunjulian]

You need to make a shirt that says: **flavor intensifies**

[TheWarkilla]

Imagine your doorbell ringing and Alvin standing in front of the door with this...I'd really like to be one of your friends haha

[Lieutenantkaiya]

I just made this last night and there flavor is legitimately just like any chinese restaurant chicken (the good ones!) you've ever tasted. Literally holy cow. I brined it for around 3 hours and it was just perfect.

[Ashactor]

ok who else uses alvin’s videos as a way to calm down post anxiety/panic attack?

there’s something so calm and soothing about the videography, sounds, and captions. Thank you Alvin, you don’t know how many what would be sleepless nights your cooking videos have got me through.

[sayitwithyit]

My new favorite cook on YouTube! I love how you take your time to cook food. Too often i’m rushing. I know it takes a lot of time to set up camera and I appreciate the work you put into it.

"I know it's silly, but I like talking to my food."

[Saxenams]

His videos are so aesthetically pleasing.

"I like thighs because they're juicy and flavorful"
I see you're a man of culture as well
