welcome to my crib
what up guys welcome back to the kitchen we're here in the best restaurant in la aka
eddie's house teaching you how to fish for chunky cheese fried chips chicken
first step we have brined chicken we're using chicken thighs uh only available was
skinless and boneless uh we're gonna chop these up into some pieces a little bit more edible size
at bauhaus we used to use the skinless because some people don't like skin so this is actually
the way we do a vows but if i was to make this at home skin on her skin is delicious
you want you want some lingerie on the chicken we brined ours in water lemon honey garlic thyme
a little bit of bay leaf and some salt you want a brine the history of this dish is
i did something similar to what we were doing here today just hanging out i was watching the
knicks the knicks are the greatest basketball team of all time one of the best franchise and
number one franchise the best the most valuable i decided i needed a snack and i saw cheese fried
chips in my house i just said to myself why has nobody breaded chicken with cheese chips
they really seemed like they would go together and i did it i fried it i didn't have vows at the time
i ate it as like a cutlet like a veal milanese almost and it was chef's kiss chef's kiss about a
size you would take to school i would say yes but the legal limit that they let you have at school
out of the family pack yes exactly this is this is about what you would your mom would pack you
nice perfect chef game on 100 billion what's the next step tay what do we got going on i'm boiling
the apple cider vinegar okay great i think we add all of this uh good stuff to it into a pool
taylor what was your favorite day on set i think my favorite day on set was probably
basketball at the cage it was pretty fun to be out there although it was at the
wee hours in the morning i think we started like 8 p.m went to like 6 a.m uh the longest
days but some of the best days i would say say either that or actually on set
um at the studio uh was pretty fun as well too take egg whites egg whites
hey eddie what was your favorite day of shooting well you know i think my favorite day of shooting
is the bedroom scene between uh boogie and eleanor i feel like it really encapsulates and represents
like the this damage that you have as an other and as an immigrant in this country because we're not
allowed to be whole human beings we're always fragmented and stigmatized and sometimes it's
someone from another culture that can help you connect with the pieces of yourself that you've
lost or damaged and so it happened to me in real life and i felt the same way making that scene
and i feel the same way when i see it on the screen and i think that to me
is at least my goal in heart is to recreate a feeling so other people can feel it as well
it's gotta have these ski goggles on always ready okay from when i hired you yeah what was
your thinking how did it feel i think you low key we're trying to plant the seed from day one when
you gave me boogie in december of 29 2018. yeah i think you were low-key trying to plant the seed
and i was like nah not this one if you want me in the background playing basketball i got you
when i read the script i was like that's 100 me i approached casting him like billy crystal and meg
ryan in when harry met sally where the whole yeah we're friends we're friends you're just
assisting like just come hang out and watch all of these rehearsals and memorize the scene yeah
friends and friends and then it's like i'm in love with you you're you know and the whole time
you knew your friend was your person i knew he was gonna be boogie but it's just you know i think it
had to date other people you had to go around taste other food right yeah you have to do that
but i think at the end of the day the lesson is the pure belief in someone before they
believe in themselves and what the power of that does you make a movie with that oh wow
we will have slaw in about 20 10 45 minutes yeah 45 minutes fast forward is there any spice today
there will be there's gonna be spices there's always there's a spice if there's eddie wong and
taylor takashi there is spice spice buckets of spices yup he was saying cool stuff so i
didn't tell you what i did what i did was egg whites potato starch and then i rolled these
in the cheese chips that we crushed up with the baseball bat this is gonna be hottingtons
so we are frying those this is looking very nice though
oh we don't need paper towels all good
all right so usually we make garlic aioli today i've decided to use garlic paste
you see that mmm spread it
all right look at look at this delicious piece of chicken in there
delicious piece of chicken
at this point of the production i like to add the cheese powder
oh yeah you honestly can't overdo the cheese powder
oh and once taylor picks a few nice pieces of cilantro
these battles will be done this segment will be over
wow
cut i think we're done i think we're done here
no one believes in an asian basketball player but in these moms we'll get our shot at the nba
i need you to fight for yourself the same way you fight for being chinese boogie radar on demand now
