>>Hilah: Hey dudes.
I’m Hilah and welcome to Hilah Cooking.
So this may come as a surprise to some of you but I love fried chicken sandwiches at
Chick-fil-A.
The problem is I have a lot of gay friends and I love them too and Chick-fil-A has made
it pretty clear through their political affiliations that they don’t really love the gay people
so much.
So I can’t really support a company like that.
Plus when is the best time for a fried chicken sandwich?
Sunday morning.
Who is closed on Sunday morning?
Chick-fil-A. Boo!
So I figured out how to make my very own, even better than Chick-fil-A’s fried chicken
sandwich and I call it the Chick Fil Gay because it will make you happy.

[Chick-Fil-A Copycat Recipe]
>>Hilah: And I’ve got just a boneless, skinless chicken breast here and I wrapped it up in
some plastic and you just want to like fold up the edges and this is going to keep all
like the chicken juice from like spurting all over your kitchen and we’re just going
to pound the meat.
And since we’re going to try to get two servings out of one chicken breast because
sharing is caring and stuff, try to just pound it as evenly as possible.
Oops, my meat is poking out at the end.
OK.
That looks really nice and even.
So next, just want to cut this into two portions.
If you’re using like giant buns, you could just do one but mine are a little small.
OK, great.
And I’ve got this bowl here.
I’m going to put it in.
Now, if you look on the Chick-fil-A website and it lists all their ingredients and stuff,
their chicken ingredients also includes like MSG and “spice” and some other stuff.
So I don’t really have MSG around the house.
I’m just going to use a little bit of pickle juice because they’re kind of famous for
like just having the pickle slices on there.
So we’re going to marinate this in a little bit of pickle juice and up to an hour is really
good, minimum 30 minutes.
This is just going to make it like so juicy and also salty.
But that’s kind of the thing with fast food, right?
It’s like extra salty.
So we’re going to leave this to marinate and then I will come back and we will fry
up our meat.
All right.
Once that chicken is marinated, we are going to go ahead and bread it.
So I’ve got my wet mixture here and my dry mixture here and I will put all the ingredients
down below.
So we get that mixed up and then real quick, I got my wet fork.
Into the egg and then into the flour and just scooping it up around to get your
breast fully powdered, fully coated.
OK.
The hard part is done, guys.
Now it’s time for the fryer.
I’ve got about a half inch oil here that has been heating over kind of a medium, high
heat for a couple of minutes and I’ve got just a little bun crumb, a little crumb off
my buns, and drop that in.
It will sink and then it starts – pops back up pretty quickly and that means that we’re
high enough.
We don’t really want this like super duper hot.
Chick-fil-A actually does theirs in a pressure fryer but that’s a little dangerous for
home use, I think.
See, it’s just kind of like gently sizzling and we will just do this for a couple of minutes
until it’s nice and brown and then flip it over.
OK.
So these are ready to flip.
Look at that.
OK.
Until it’s done getting brown.
These are so thin that really by the time the crust is brown, it should be done throughout
the middle.
So it’s really, really good.
OK.
I’m just going to double check [0:04:53] [Indiscernible] cooked.
OK.
Looks good.
Let’s put it on a rack to cool while I toast my buttery buns under the broiler.
How is that for some alliteration?
All right.
So I’ve got my little buns here that I buttered and toasted under the broiler for just like
a minute.
Watch them carefully or you can do them in a skillet like you would do a grilled cheese
sandwich.
Then I’m just going to blot a little bit of the oil off and go ahead and put it on
my little sandwich with my pickles and take a big old honking bite.
Oh my god!
Dude, that is as good as, if not better than, any Chick-fil-A sandwich I ever had and there’s
no MSG in it, so yay!
So I hope you try this recipe.
If you have any questions, leave them on the comments below.
Please share this video with anyone that you know that either loves Chick-fil-A and/or
gay people.
It pretty much covers everyone in the whole world, I think.
So have a great day.
Thanks for watching and I will see you all later.
Bye.
