Hey guys, I’m hearing you out on the Backhendl. That was our mistake on the research. Normally I’m really good about this, somehow this one slipped through the cracks. We love you Austria and Malaysia and Indonesia! Sorry for the improper representation!!! Sometimes with all the regional differences even within singular countries we on very rare occasion miss stuff. We will take another stab at backhendl and ayam goreng to right this wrong! Love you all, and thank you for the feedback here!

As a side note there all the fried chickens on this list was absolutely delicious and worth eating for every single person who watches this video. ❤

Everyone should try korean chicken, not just yangnyeom but any flavor. Cuz they all taste amazing

Hi Joshua, as a Malaysian, and been a cooks for 2 years in Malay Kitchen, traditionally, we don’t fried our chicken with the flour breading, but we add a bit of corn starch in the marinade, and fried it with the marinade, the marinade itself will become crispy and flavourful.

There are over 50, 000 fried chicken restsurants in Korea far more than McDonald's worldwide. It must be good just to survive in this fierce competition.

who invited Italy to the fried chicken party? 😂

What's surprising about Korean chicken is that it has so many varieties. Fried and Yangnyeom chicken are classic, and there are literally thousands of different flavors of chicken, with new flavors being developed and released every day and week. That's the best thing about Korean chicken.

In South Korea, there are hundreds of chicken brands. Some of the most famous ones include BBQ, Kyochon Chicken, BHC, Nene Chicken, Cheogajip, Hosigi Two Chicken, Goobne Chicken, Mexicana, and Pelicana. Besides these, there are also various small and medium-sized brands that are popular regionally. The exact number can vary frequently, but it is generally known that there are more than 500 chicken brands in South Korea.

Among Korean-style Fried chicken, Yangnyeom chicken is just one of many types. If we were to compare chickens, the battle for the first place would probably be between Korean chickens.

Chef from Austria here: That is NOT Backhendl. You made Chicken Schnitzel. Backhendl uses whole chicken parts and also does not fry in Butterschmalz, we use more neutral oils/fats.

I went to Korea. Went to a popular chicken shop. Ordered a chicken box with 8 different flavors. One was as crispy as any I’ve had. One was sweet and spicy. One was garlicky. Etc.

There r soooo many fried chicken shops there… they’ve perfected it guys…

Koreans have two absolute pride

The first is "Kimchi", and the second is "Chicken".

I'm Japanese. I'm glad you all like Karaage. But it's not authentic because you cut the skinless chicken into too small size.
Use boneless chicken with skin, cut the chicken into twice the size, and deep fry the chicken twice use with Potato Starch to make real one!
You don't need to marinate the chicken overnight, it will be too salty, 1 hour is fine. After cooking, no salt is needed, just cut a lemon and use it.
The marinade sauce you made is perfect.
Thank you for the video and enjoy your meal!

I've had korean fried chicken once in my life and when I tell you I went to heaven while eating that chicken, omg I started to float like the girl from the conjouring

After being stationed in Korea for 15 months back when I was in the Army, I can hands down say that Korean Fried Chicken is the best fried chicken I've ever had.

[turinoik]

For reference, there are 36, 000 chicken stores in Korea, which is more than the number of McDonald's stores in the entire world (35, 000).

[meonjeng]

Wanna gripe about how low we were, but Korea deserves it.

if you just look at the chicken sub-cultures (they have a few, e.g. chimeak), you'd understand that to koreans, its a culture defining food (food delivery was invented there, and you can order chicken while you're at the park). Korean chicken is a culinary artform made available to the masses.

and I will absolutely FIGHT anyone that says different.

Indian here, chicken pakora is very different based on what region you are in, in my hometown we use yogurt as part of the marinade, very different results.
Edit- most people prefer chicken 65/crispy over pakora anyways

Hello Joshua Weissman,

I hope this message finds you well. As I watch this video, the recipe you use for Malaysia is horrendous. I would like to share a recipe for Mamak Fried Chicken with you from Resipi Che Nom. This is a truly Malaysian Fried Chicken as mostly we always eat at the mamak restaurant. Here are the ingredients:

- ½ to 1 chicken
- 2 inches of ginger
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 300g of cornflour
- 1 tablespoon of coriander powder
- ½ tablespoon of fennel powder
- ½ tablespoon of cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon of fish or meat curry powder
- 1 tablespoon of Cukup Rasa seasoning powder
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt
- 3 tablespoons of rice flour
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon of red food coloring
- ½ teaspoon of orange food coloring
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- Curry leaves

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy this recipe!

I just found your comment just now, so i’m rooting for you 😗

I'm blessed to have a great Korean fried chicken place within walking distance. And they really care. When I bought from them the first time for carry-out, they told me to not tie the plastic bag closed because the trapped steam would weaken the crunch. And they recommended I have a piece of pickled radish between each bit of chicken to refresh my palate. These guys are serious about their chicken.
