Hi everyone, we have a great video that we shot before the pandemic took over
the world. It's a KFC challenge we ordered and by
the time it comes, we try to make it cheaper, faster, healthier. Now it is a new
meaning because if you miss something like a nice takeaway, like Kentucky
Fried Chicken, you can make it at home.
This is the video for you.
Today I'm going to challenge Kentucky Fried Chicken, best of menu.
What I'll do, I'll order fried chicken from the phone and they usually come
around 30 to 40 minutes and until they come I'm going to make all the chickens
the chips and also the very delicious biscuit they have and in that time I'll try
to do it faster, cheaper, healthier and hopefully much more delicious version of
it. Guys, before we start I would like to ask you one thing, please subscribe to
our channel. We are a new growing channel in Turkey, we're really eager to do so
many beautiful stuff for you guys and I don't want you to miss any of those so
if you subscribe that would be wonderful. It would be wonderful for you and your
family, for your loved ones as well. I promise you that. How we'll start is, I'm
going to phone the Kentucky Fried Chicken guys.
The phone call took about three and a half minutes and I
think we should edit to the time that we cook because we lose that time. Anyways
I turn the heat for the fryer and then for the biscuit I turned my oven to 200
degrees upper and lower heat on. I'm going to put one third glass, it's same as
cups of milk and a cup and one third of a cup of flour, four tablespoons of
butter, a whole pocket of baking powder,
the gram is 10 grams and around 1/2 a tablespoon of salt that's all we need.
And I'm going to make this work; slowly. The butter should be in room
temperature so I took it out. The dough will come to its senses in 2-3 minutes
maximum. At that time, what I'm going to do is I have here some potatoes, four of
them, I'm going to put potatoes like this there's a cheat here.
This gadget is great for the chips I don't know it's English. But it's very
old. I take the extra water of the potatoes.
We have skinned the potatoes, the crew had done it, so I didn't take it
back. so you can't cut like the three minutes that we used for the call could
be added to this. Is it okay? My oil is not ready yet, so I take
it to a bigger one.
I put a wooden thing and bubbles should get out of it, it
doesn't right now. There's now, when I cut it there's extra starch, there's extra
water so I'm trying to dry it. Now, I'll have a look. Now, the dough is
like this, you can taste it. Perfect! I'm going to divide it into first two and
then another two.
You can do it with your hand, again two minutes. Have the buns
like this and then put a glass like this. What this does, I can make it a
whole straight patty and then cut it but I don't want to do it that way.
But when I do this with hand, it's not as perfect like the biscuits are kind of
like cut. I want to give that effect I'm just going to do this, so the sides are
more straight. Biscuits are done. These go to the oven, 200 degrees I put it in the
medium tray, it's all done. We come back to the oil. As you can see now, when I put
it it's all bubbles, so it's time to put the fries. I'm going to slowly put the
fries because the level of the oil will higher and if I put it all at once it
might float, do this very carefully, this is just really no joke.
This is sunflower oil. When we are going to calculate the price of the challenge,
the oil is kind of pricey but what we do you can use it at least four or five
times, for any of different frying purposes but we calculated one third of
the price which is as if like we used the oil for just three times. Now it's
nine minutes, the biscuits are in the oven,
the potatoes are frying. Now, here comes the part where we do the chickens. Before
I get my hands dirty with the chickens, there are three stations. The first
station which makes the better, perfect is the perfect Kentucky fried chicken
taste around the chicken. So to create that I want a whole big tablespoon of
which is like full, this is refika spoon of garlic.
It doesn't work the same, I suggest everyone should have preferably organic dried
garlic also this is hot paprika a whole tablespoon, a whole tablespoon of ground
black pepper and salt, some of the salt goes to the flour as well a little or
the better. This is the magical mixture, if you do not have this, you can add a
bit of tabasco. What I do this mixture is here, I put a bit of flour to that
mixture. First, I'm going to dip my chicken here and then to the ordinary
flour this is what's going to make my recipe great. Here we go for the next
station. We have a bit of salt, to that I add my eggs. The shelf of the eggs goes
to the organic bin. I'm going to use three because I have plenty of chicken. To
that I add cream which has my picture on but I don't own the cream but they
are my sponsors. So I add three tablespoons of cream, this gears really
nice richness to the skin there's a bit of salt and also the cream helps to egg
yolks to distribute really well and egg whites as well. By the way, when I was on
the phone, the address was already there and she said Refika's Kitchen and because
of the Turkish channel they know us pretty well. They might send it even
faster. Now, here we have cornflakes. This brand is Nestle or Kellogg's, I
don't know you can use all but you must use the one which has almost no sugar.
That's not really like sweet sweet. This gives a great texture.
I have tried chips and stuff like that but this is the best. So I put it in a
plastic bag and I crush it. ıf you're angry to anyone.
Now is the time to feel it in your hands
Third station is also here, we go.
I have the wings, ties without the bones. Normally they start with the bones but
with this kind... Before I do that, one second, I have to take the potatoes out. I
turn the heat down, I take all the excess oil, again do not crowd the potatoes then
it will be soggy it won't be crunchy as much. Salt, they are ready.
Now, I turn the heat down because it starts to boil when it's really
really hot right now if it's continuous boiling it will burn the oil and when
sunflower and canola oil; oils like those do not show that they burn they
have just like this little vapor but it becomes really toxic. They have the sot
shots, I take this white part out because it's really bad.
Of course it can'tgo to animals as well.
For the hot shots, I'm going to cut the chicken into small
pieces like this. For the rest of the breast, what I'll do is I'm going to put
my hand and carefully have a slice like this and open it and I'm going to have
from this one piece like that and another piece like this. It's in there
all four. And this is the whole thigh, this is the thickest part I slice it a
bit. I made it thinner so that it can cook
really well. For the stations, first I start with the nibbles and take the
excess out to the flour take the excess flour out from between your fingers and
it goes to the eggs. What I do, I'll use a spoon and a fork. I'll make sure that
it's all covered then with the fork, I make sure that every place is wet so I
take it to the third station which is the cornflakes. I turn my heat on again,
check whether it's still hot, it needs a little bit of moments until then I
repeat it for everything. But I start from the nibbles than the breasts and
the ties. Because these are the smallest ones, as the oil gets hotter it will fry
the outside but the inside will not be cooked so in the second round the oil
will be cooler until the outside cooks the inside who will cook better. I start
with the smallest ones and then go to a bigger ones.
21 minutes, oh no..
So I'll do the rest.
In nine minutes, of course. I hope. I don't want them to
come earlier because they know the address so...
Now I can put the nibbles, yes..
When I'm taking these out from the heat, I must clean my hands because raw
chicken is as you know kind of very contagious so I don't want the hands that
touch raw chicken to touch the already cooked ones. I have to be really really
careful. Now the nibbles are done. I take these because it always happens that
some of the cornflakes do not stick. I don't want them to get
brown, make the oil go bad. These are almost done. I'm going to continue in
everything in three minutes. I'm going to wrap it up and I won't talk anymore.
The biscuits are almost done, here they are. I'm going to put them for one more
minute until they're done.
I'll do the rest.
When I'm doing the ones with the bones which is the wings, my heat is in the lowest
so it will slowly cook and the bone and the skin really cooks well.
It's 32 minutes and 40 seconds now they're a bit overcooked it looks like a
normal bread but normally the biscuits are a bit whiter, this looks like normal
bread but anyways. I was gonna put them in the but here I think they will be better.
34 minutes they still haven't come yet. I would like to make
something that I like with this mayo with pickle juice and a bit of pickles.
I'm going to put some pickle juice. I'm going to slice the pickles.
No no.. It's
very different Germans make it sweet, I like Mexican style.
You can use jalapeno as well, it would be very very hot. I put these inside, I take - the
bigger one. I got very excited and added lots of pickle juice, so for it to come
into census, you can always add bit more mayo. Saltiness comes from the pickle and
pickle juice but I want a bit of bitterness and it
comes from the pepper so I add black pepper and here it is, a great sauce. So..
Mmm.. very nice. It's a bit runny, but it's very nice so that when you dip something
the whole taste comes around but you do not eat a lot of fat here the sauce
comes here as well. It's been almost 40 minutes, they haven't arrived yet. We are
all ready, I get the first hot shots.
finally it is arrived in 46 minutes.
What we have, ours is 28 total included with the oil price one third of the
usage is included. It says the secret recipe, we're trying
to change the secret. These are all the waste that we create to the world. You
open it like this, sorry.. This is all of it and this is all the
waste we have already created, this doesn't include the price of gas
that is used for them to drive here. So if we cook at home this all is not
needed and this is not happening. The number of chickens is like this there
are two biscuits. This is in total cost is 64 liras. I'm going to put US price and
this is costing us 28 Turkish Liras which is less than 5 dollars. Now, I start
with the biscuits, here we go. This is our biscuit, this is theirs. It's more bready,
this is more like cookie like. the good ones ones like cookie like.
We have really really nailed it in the biscuits. I want all you guys to taste it
by the way. It has to be like falling apart, this really does it and one of the
most expensive thing in here is the butter, we have four tablespoons but this
all is worth it, it's amazing. Now shall we start with hot shots, yeah.. You
try it this one.
I put mayo for it, there's mayo here.
in heaven, on heaven,
it's about heaven.
She got it from this. So, you try this one now.
That much of difference you say.
Why are you reducing my points. But twenty five minutes, I have
waited.
These are unfortunately dry.
You can understand how juicy it is from here.
I'll show you the KFC one
This is the KFC one, it's not too bad. This is the most juicy one
which is. But this doesn't have the hot sauce this is not so juicy but not too
bad. This is better than the hot shots
When we first developing it we have tried it with spicy chips, ordinary chips but
the best result is in the not very sweet cornflakes but I think this time I
don't know what happened, maybe we use the oil in several other things. This time my
chips are not so great. This is the difference and because it's a challenge
it has to be fair, these are tasty, the most
important thing in this kitchen is for everything to be real, so we have fucked
it up in our chips. I'm sorry guys. I don't know why this happens, it's
probably because of the oil, I cannot think other reason but it did and we have
to share it with you.
In biscuits we win.
In chicken, we win, obviously. In price, we win. In time, we.
In chips we lose. Totally we win, hh? There's a bonus recipe of mayonnaise
with pickle juice and pickles which you should also add up to this menu, if you
do it.
