i'm so smart i got the chicken that's
already chopped up
no you're supposed to chop it up
yourself
hi i'm clarissa and this is hanley this
series is all about teaching hanley how
to cook
last time he made a pretty good
shanghai-style meatball
today i want to spice things up a bit
we'll be making a cold situan dish
called koh sui ji
which literally means saliva chicken in
[Music]
chinese
making this dish usually involves
poaching a whole chicken and dressing it
with the spicy sauce
so i sent handling to a local wet market
in hong kong where they butcher chickens
and sell fresh poultry we
you're supposed to get a whole chicken
this is gonna turn out so
rough okay whatever we're just going to
roll up the punches
why is it called spit chicken why the
candy is called spicy chicken
spicy cold chicken this dish is called
saliva chicken
because it's supposed to be so delicious
that it makes you drool
then burger better be called saliva
burger
what happened at the wet market why do i
see everything cut into pieces
that story man he got these chicken out
there just laying
up to no good so i was like yo i need
the thigh i just need the upper thigh
and he was like nah the legs come with
it and i was like all right
all right but it's cool that if you can
separate them though like
i thought that it would make it easier
so i asked him to separate the link and
upper thigh that was it that's that's
the that's the thing and he chopped it
in pieces
they are nicely chopped though so shout
out to that dude you know i'm saying
shout out to the web market
the reason why we wanted whole pieces is
so we can control the cooking
temperature now it's going to cook
really fast
so this will be an experiment for both
of us damn man
okay so let's cut uh three slices of
ginger like
about as thick as a dime as a coin
[Music]
i forgot where did i start right rather
where you
start in the middle we still got to deal
with ginger
when do we move up on ranks man when do
we do
ginger it's one of the foundations of
chinese cooking
this is a scallion cut like this part
just the white parts off
and the rest of the scallions and
finally it's episode five can y'all
believe that
goddamn curve your fingers so that you
won't cut your
fingers off if you get too close use
your knuckles
only use your knuckles there we go yeah
now you can go faster
damn i need to wrap my head around this
all right now we're going to mince
three cloves of garlic what's three
cloves of garlic
you have garlic right there right but
what's
is that garlic did you buy shallots
i kept trying to buy garlic but the
woman kept looking at me and was like
what are you trying to make
i said spit chicken and she was like
nobody makes spit chicken with garlic
use these
houses oh yeah
imagine
should i have not listened to the
grammar let's see if we have garlic in
here
we ain't got though we really ain't got
garlic
no the little box oh my god we do have
garlic
and it's just like meditation you know
what i'm saying you stare at the garlic
and make sure the garlic ain't hurt
[Music]
do you think i've improved yes your
buying skills haven't
get two chili peppers and then mince
those really finely
whoa this chili is so fine man let's
grow
the don't be catching the rona put the
white part of the scallions and the
ginger in
that there's three big pieces of ginger
yeah
and then cover it with water okay
meanwhile let's make the sauce
so how many teaspoons one that's a big
one
okay great and then one a spoon wine
joshua you have it the one thing that i
realized is that like
chinese food man you gotta have xiao xin
wan you know i'm saying
because half of us low key alcoholic one
spoonful of sesame oil
okay two tablespoons of black vinegar
[Music]
and then half a spoon of sugar and
a pinch of salt
[Music]
is it chicken boiling yup
turn off the heat i will let it sit for
six minutes and then uh get the ice
bucket out
though let's rewind back to the salt
part because a lot happened just now
okay okay we'll do a pinch of salt got
him okay that's
that's okay and then uh
four big spoons of the chili oil
you know when i was getting this the
woman was like why is everybody getting
this man is it really that good and i
like
if everybody's getting it it must be
good you know what i'm saying
just like how everybody voted for trump
don't say that man i'm being sarcastic
for obvious reasons you know i'm saying
whip it real hard rip it rip it start
handling it everything yes stir it
and then like taste it oh
it does taste like spit chicken can you
stir it one more time for the camera
yeah gotta do it for the camera
camera is first without the camera
there's no point hurry the chicken's
time-sensitive
get a big bowl and put the ice in it
uh it became one giant block of it
though
this is hectic
[Music]
maybe not with my hand that's good
[Music]
take the chicken and like check it
take one piece and like check if it's
raw the review
is this chicken coke
yeah it is cold okay now
strain all the chicken put it in the ice
bucket straight away just put it in the
chip
[Music]
strain that put it in the ice bucket bro
whoa whoa whoa
dude okay now mix it so that
it cools down we're doing this so it
cools down
and it doesn't cook anymore it's hot i'm
trying to cool it down
if you pour some drinking water in that
then it'll cool down
sink water will do a no not sink water
sorry drinking water is a little too
expensive we out of budget
so no i mean like the ice is to cool
things down and it forms like that
gelatin layer between the skin
but since it's all cut it's a bit hard
to do
put pour the sauce on it yeah all of it
yo there's no glue in your bag make sure
it's mixed well
this whole thing is supposed to test
your knife skills but you cheated and
got an uncle to do it for you in the
beginning
that's not true man
they call me asian andy warhol in the
kitchen
okay now we're gonna do the final touch
um get up a frying pan
and put like four tablespoons of oil in
it
once it starts bubbling we'll put a
spoonful of sichuan peppercorns in
one spoonful do you think that's too
much for the chicken plate
no no no no no no one spoonful was good
i was hoping that it would be more than
one spoonful look at that
and i need to stir it oh my god
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa
whoa man these peppercorns man
these peppercorns be rebellious how long
clarissa
when you start smelling it just pour
that all over the chicken
all right smell i smell it okay now take
it off the heat and just pour
all of that over your chicken
[Music]
get this oil get cooked okay we're done
congratulations
yes wow
[Music]
i'm so conflicted because it's so warm
i feel like we had a big block of ice it
wasn't submerged in ice that's what
the problem was i think what we should
have done is like had a bunch of water
yeah the water yeah but someone's a bit
cheap with their water
we didn't have water anyway there's
literally a big bottle of water right
there
where do you see it mario
this one is the first official fail
oh wow not much of a fail
yeah you know what michael jordan once
said to win
you gotta first lose
[Music]
fax this i would say this is the more
like you know anti-establishment type of
chicken
it's like we go off from the traditional
route so
honestly man kudos to us man we stay
rebellious
okay next time you're gonna have to come
to chicken yourself gotcha
hopefully there's no spit chicken
rematch but meanwhile be eating this man
thank you
[Music]
see y'all
[Music]
