Thanks Shipstation for sponsoring this video.
For today's cook the first thing we gotta do is prep our chicken.
As you know salt is the master of all seasoning and if you get that part right you're
almost sure to make your chicken taste better already. Now the next thing I wanted to do was
to go ahead and season it with a barbecue rub. For that I chose my rub Guga's Rub. You can actually
make this rub at home yourself I have a full video about it explaining step by step, however
I have been working on a very new one and that one will be coming very soon. Then the next thing
to do is to go ahead and trussing the chicken. So even though I'm not the best butcher in the world
this is what I was left with, a nicely trussing chicken which will allow me to take it in and
out of the pot anytime I want. The original idea for this experiment was to cook the chicken in
soy, to be specific soy sauce. Now this is a very popular method in Asia so since I'm going to be
boiling it in soy sauce already why not try it with coca-cola as well. I mean both of them are the
same exact color so let's see how good or bad this is actually going to be. So now that I have both of
my chickens ready to go I decided to make a quick and fast side dish and to make it it's super easy,
and here's how; The first thing to do is to make a sauce. Into a boil combine a little bit of soy
sauce, followed by dark soy sauce, a tiny bit of oyster sauce, cherry vinegar, the good old ketchup,
potato starch, white granulated sugar, and a splash of water. Mix everything well because that's it!
Now I heated up a dutch oven with a little bit of oil and throw in some eggs in there.
We're gonna fry these eggs up. If you're feeling adventurous you can do the same thing with butter
as well. You just gotta be real careful not to burn the butter. So after frying all of my eggs
up this is what I was left with. Now into the same dutch oven I added a little bit of oil, followed by
green onions, and as soon as it started to release a little bit of the smell I threw in some garlic,
followed by that wonderful sauce we just made. Now back in all of my eggs went, added a little
splash of water, and bring everything to a light simmer. Into a bowl I added a little bit of white
rice, followed by the fried egg, a little bit of that sauce that was left on the pan, a tiny bit
of sesame seeds, followed by some chives. Now that is today's side dish. Super inexpensive
and that should pair up perfect with our chicken. Because we still gotta go ahead and cook them and
here's how it's gonna go down. I'll be using these three special ingredients also we got brown sugar,
a little bit of chives, and ginger. First to cook up the soy sauce chicken. Into my dutch oven I
added one gallon of it. Yes a ridiculous amount of soy sauce! Then I added the green onions, followed
by the ginger, and the brown sugar. Set my stove on high and let everything come to a simmer. As
soon as I had a full boil it was time to dunk in my chicken and as you can see as it's cooking the
chicken starts getting a nice wonderful color. Now my total time for this cook was about 45 minutes.
You see the important thing that I was looking for is for the internal temperature which for the
breast I was looking for 165 degrees fahrenheit and the dark meat 175. Once those temperature were
reached I took it out and take a look. I mean I don't know about you but this looks gorgeous! But
remember we also have a second chicken to cook but this one is going to be boiled 100% in coca-cola.
Lowering it that was no problem at all. Then I immediately threw in all of the other ingredients
that I did previously. Now here's the thing this one is a completely different experience than the
previous one, it actually smells horrible. But not only that take a closer look of this thing,
it's like creating a scum or something. At the same time take a look at the edges, I think the sugars
are caramelizing on top of the skin of the chicken and right about this point I was rethinking my
choices in life. There's no way that this is gonna be good! But hey once the chicken was fully cooked
to the right temperature I immediately took it out and take a look at this thing. Wow no joke!
Now here's what they look like side by side. We got the beautiful soy chicken on the left, and the
coca-cola one on the right. And a closer look you can really tell the differences between these two.
But if you were here on my studio you would be able to tell immediately by the smell. It's like
night and day. Now it was time to go ahead and start the butchering, so I started with the soy
chicken first. I don't know about you but one of my favorite things to eat on chicken is dark meat, so
take a look at this. That is very juicy! Now take a closer look at the breast of the soy one, extremely
juicy. Wow! Not bad. But once i was done with all of the butchering take a look soy chicken on the left
coca-cola chicken on the right. And look how juicy the soy chicken is. Yeah this is a chicken breast!
The only thing that really bothers me right now about the coca-cola is the skin, but at the same
time the guys have no idea how it was cooked so hopefully they'll have a different perspective
than me. Because now the only thing to do is to taste them is it going to be good is it going
to be terrible? Well let's find out right now. Does that look good or what? But before we try it I want

for sponsoring this video but now let's get right back to it.
Allright everybody here we got our beautiful feast gentleman.
We got chicken today Angel. I know you're so excited, like your
heart cannot contain itself. -It's contained very contained right now. Leo what do you think? -Well!
-Dang Leo, wow that was deep! -It's, it's uh, it's it's not steak
That's all I got guys i'm sorry. -But I will say one thing, it is an experiment so you should
be extremely excited about this. -I think you said like the two things that we're least excited about
chicken and experiments. -Okay enough talking let's give this a go. All right so we have
one and two, we're going to start this direction. We have the dark meat and the white meat whatever you
guys want go for it Angel. -I just got one that's already sliced. -Look at how juicy that is. -That
is very promising. -You tell me right now look at this everybody. I'm talking about juiciness. -This
is chicken breast? -Chicken breast. Give an honest opinion, let's see. Cheers everybody! -Cheers.
-Moist.
-Very moist. -Super juicy! -A waterfall of juice and very flavorful though. -Yes the skin of it is the
best part, is like you said. Jam-packed full of flavor and you can tell whatever you did to this
chicken the flavors that it had penetrated deep because it is a very flavorful chicken
which is not normal. -Yeah. That's probably one of the better chicken breasts that I've ever had. It
is quite surprising everybody because the skin is kind of like gooey I would say it's not like
a crunchy skin that I'm normally used to, but at the same time it's quite enjoyable. -That was good
I enjoyed it. -If i had a regular chicken breast or that chicken iIm growing that chicken all day. -And
you pair that up with a little bit of white rice. -That sounds killer. -Yeah that sounds good. -That's
money everybody, money! Talking about rice and stuff let's do that right now we have a little side
dish here with asian style egg. Hey Angel, I got something extra a little bit for you right here
hold on a second. -I actually already pushed mine to the side thank you. -Oh you did push it to this
unbelievable. Let's give this a try and let you guys know cheers everybody. -Cheers.
god dang, that's delicious. -Wow! -Simple, cheap, flavorful. -I'm assuming that's an egg? It's a
little bit more cooked than a normal soft egg, but I don't mind it because it actually adds
kind of like a nice crust and because of that delicious like
sweet and tangy sauce on top. It's just a really nice combination, and it's a perfect
platform for you to enjoy this. -The egg's kind of fried so it has like. -Like a crunch. -Not
like a crunch but like a sear almost. -Yeah so it's like a little chewy you know what I mean.
Ready for the next chicken. Give me your honest opinion since we went
with the breast I recommend we go with the breasts here as well.
-Okay. -All right dig in let's go for it. -Oh this one is also very juicy. -It does look quite
juicy I'm not gonna lie. -Give me your honest opinion on this one. Cheers everybody! Cheers.
-It's not as flavorful. -That's not bad. -What the hell everybody is not bad.
-Actually not bad at all. -It's just not as flavorful. -Yeah not like boom in your face.
-Yeah this one has a lot more flavor. The crust is where all that flavor lies and it's actually a
little bit sweet, I wasn't expecting that. -Yeah. -Not crazy sweet, you definitely feel that hint
of sweetness on it. -I'll be honest with you, I thought this one was going to be terrible guys.
-Really? -I thought this was going to be a disaster. You see this little brown stuff right here on the
top. -Yeah? -You know what that is? -Caramelization or something? -No my friend that is Coca-Cola, because I
boiled this one on Coca-Cola, that's what this is. All for you my friend, you're a coca-cola fanatic.
Listen I've been trying to tell you guys that Coca-Cola is good for cooking. We're eating it
and we're saying it's okay. Hello! -Which one do you guys prefer, this one right here which
was boiled in coca-cola or this one which was boiled in soy sauce? -I'll say it all with this.
-Oh you went for another one of that one. Here's what I will say, this is a safe route, it tastes
amazing highly recommend. Can we all agree? That's not bad. -It's not that it's not bad it is good.
-I hate to say it but, -It's good. -I think that that might be a step up from regular chicken.
Like I'd rather eat this than a regular chicken, but I would
much rather eat that because that is super flavorful. -This is 100% the winner. -Anyway guys
