- Welcome back to Iron Chef University here on
"The Kelly Clarkson Show".
We've got the world class chefs from the new Netflix series
"Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend".
I love the title.
They're all here, Curtis, Dominic Quint and
Gabrielle Cameron.
And here in the kitchen with me is Marcus Samuelson.
So they're all vowing to make me less
of a bad cook by the end of this hour, we shall see.
Mm..So Marcus, you said
that you were gonna school me on some fried chicken.
- [Marcus] Yeah. So this is..this is
first of all can I say the band is amazing!
- I love the band!
- [Marcus] So..
- they bring the vibe.
- [Marcus] They do bring the vibe.
you know?
Yeah. And listen, Kelly.
- [Kelly] Yes.
- [Marcus] Chicken and waffle I think is the
only dish that is created by musicians.
Chicken and waffle is created by jazz musicians
in the thirties that created chicken and waffle.
- [Kelly] God bless them.
- [Marcus] It's both sweet and savory.
- Okay.
- [Marcus] You're gonna pour this in.
You're gonna make a waffle here.
- [Marcus] You're gonna make it waffle better.
Just put it in.
- [Marcus] You got it.
- I got this. I got it.
Did you see my Crave skills?
- [Marcus] Exactly. That's what I mean.
- Come on
That's what I mean. Yeah, you got it.
And it's okay.
- Come on. You can fill the whole thing up?
- [Marcus] do it, do it, do it.
And push it down, This is the best feeling.
Put it down. Yeah.
- Okay.
- [Marcus] Yes. And you know, with Curtis
the crepe is all about thin, right?
So the waffle can be thick and lush and beautiful.
- And suck up all that syrup.
- [Marcus] Absolutely.
- Yes. Okay. What's next?
- [Marcus] And then what I love about a good chicken
and waffle is, would do oh, oh, you're really pouring.
You're really pouring.
- 'EM it's coming.
- [Marcus] You know what?
Boom. I'm gonna show you right here.
Look at this, look at this.
- [Kelly] I did this myself.
- [Marcus] Yes, yes, yes.
[Crowd Clapping]
So the key thing with chicken and waffle,
you're gonna get messy. Forget knife and fork.
You're gonna get greasy.
- Okay.
- [Marcus] Also I love to use the thigh
or you know, the thigh in the dark meat
bone in because it's juicier, right.
- I love it.
- [Marcus] You don't want it to be dry ,at all.
- No.
And then the other key thing here is hot honey.
I use this.
- Okay.
[Marcus]What I call this chicken shake
which is my favorite sort of spice plant.
We're just gonna dash it in. You can pour it in.
You have your own.
- Okay. Okay.
- [Marcus] Okay. Put it in.
Wait, what?
Put, yeah.
- Okay.
- [Marcus] Yeah. Put some more in
and a little bit on the chicken as well.
- That is so right.
- [Marcus] Right, make it rain.
- Wait, what are you doing?
Oh, on the chicken.
Okay. On the chicken. Okay. Okay.
- [Marcus] And then
- I like spice
- [Marcus] This hot honey, we're just going to
drizzle it over.B'coz it's gonna be sweet and savory.
- Oh ,on the chicken.
Okay. Okay.
- [Marcus] Yeah, on the chicken but
don't use it all.
- Oh My God. This looks so good.
- [Marcus] And in this hot honey
add pineapple and peanuts. Just for texture.
- Yeah.
- [Marcus] Look at that.
Yes, yes, yes.
And we're just gonna build it. And this, I heard
that your kid's favorite dish is chicken and waffle.
- We love chicken and waffles y'all' who doesn't?
- [Marcus] Exactly who doesn't.
Right and you're and one of those dishes
when you're an adult you feel like
you know, you feel like a kid again,
- you're getting breakfast and dinner.
It's beautiful worlds coming together.
- [Marcus] But you don't wanna waste this Kelly, come on

- [Marcus] And then you gotta, you gotta
dust it on, but baa

- Okay. I got, I got for the people who want
some healthy stuff, I have a little bit of cilantro.
- Oh, that's totally me.

industry is that Marcus,
during the COVID pandemic,
- [Marcus] Thank you.
- [Chef 2] Saw this online and I put it in my oven,
it was just as good as this Marcus.
- [Kelly] Oh my god
- It's so good. This is my favorite part that
I learned every time like a great chef is here,
y'all teach me. It's literally the chemistry.
I would not have put certain things
- [Marcus] With. This is supposed to be crunchy
and then, you're supposed juice at the same time.
So Kelly, what did we learn? What's the lesson here?
