Today we’re making three fried chicken sandwiches from three of the worldwide web’s most popular chefs each has their own Vibe each has their own Specialties but today we’re going to pit them against each other to see who makes the best fried chicken sandwich all right so

We got two Josh’s on the docket today go figure so we’re going to spread them out starting with the king of shaming fast food establishments the one and only Joshua Papa Weissman all right so let’s start with Josh’s sauce Josh made a Korean fried chicken sandwich kind of

Known for its sweetness and its spice so the main star of the show is this Goa Jang which is just a fermented Korean chili paste that is a little sweet little spicy and it’s what’s going to give this sauce most of its body vinegar dark soy mirin Brown

Sus young chup honey always a blast to get out of the container goou Jang now we just whiskey whiskey whisk until most of those lumps come out then we’re just going to let it simmer until it reduces and thickens slightly and last but not least the garlic we’re just

Going to cut the heat stir that in and that is our sauce should have a nice viscous kind of like tasu looking dark reddish sauce so Josh sandwich is pretty simple the only other component we got to mess with is making a slow so let’s do it Pop that in your bowl we got some scall Wags thinly sliced I really like how herbaceous the greens are of the scallion and then how strong and pungent these whites are and we’re just adding both in today Ino the scall Wags then we just got some kimchi I already pre- chopped

This up cuz it kind of makes The Cutting Board all gnarly so went ahead and did that we’re going to plop that in just going to do Z juice of a leon for acidity now add a big pinch of kosher salt this is Shiro Dashi here which is

Actually can be used in a lot of ways like an instant soup mix or um in sauces in this case we’re just going to pop it in our sloth because it’s going to add sort of this um like an MSG fermented Vibe salty so you can be a little

Liberal with it at first then taste and adjust excellent excellent last but not least some Q Mayo this stuff’s great because guess what it has in it MSG oh this is the worst thing ever putting a glove on wet hands no matter what you do all right that looks great let’s give

That a taste H all right let’s fry some chicken all right so Lord weissel derpal has a pretty interesting fry situation he basically adds a little bit of flour and a little bit of potato starch which is very classic for Korean Fried Chicken so it’s going to add sort of this

Crunchy glassy texture which is really nice smart thinking wisman add a pinch of salt to that and whisk and for the chicken he says optionally marinated overnight we’re going to give him the best chicken we could possibly make I just took a couple boneless skinless thighs popped them in

Some buttermilk seasoned it with a pinch of salt and let it sit in the fridge overnight wiman’s chicken calls for a two-station wet and dry setup meaning it’s from the buttermilk marinade directly into our starchy dredge then it’s in the fryer for a single fry until

Noise and GB don’t be alarmed if you a Korean Fried Chicken comes out a little paler than you know classic American Southern Fried Chicken the starch actually doesn’t get as deeply browned as say a flower Mite when it’s just by itself and that’s because flour has

Protein in it and gets Brown from the myed reaction whereas starch just doesn’t and do not forget to season with a pinch of kosher salt cool we’ll put this aside and get going on our next contestant all right next in line Brian Langer this man is known for his

Beautifully aesthetic super clean crispy beautifully lit videos also the Dude Looks like he makes Killer Pizza which you know I respect so Brian if you’re watching this dude let’s let’s make some pizza also got to say it the dude’s got impeccable hair I mean come on name a

YouTuber with with better hair than that guy look at can we put a picture of Brian’s hair right here how about on my head how do I look Brian’s got a couple fried chicken recipes but I chose this one because it just looks really good all right let’s

Start with the sauce this is a cool technique we’re basically making a dressing and aoli whatever you want to call it in a jar I’m actually going to start with an egg yolk in there then we got some buttermilk sour we have some shalot I’m going to do

A little bit of lemon juice here pour that okay drop the lemon on the floor we’re going to run that back little piece of garlic here that’s in there kosher salt pinch of black pup creamy cow’s milk blue cheese I’m just going to cut this up because just like

Brian said the pre- crumbled store bought stuff isn’t isn’t nearly as good as just buying a little wedge like this and um adding it yourself so to recap you’re going to want to pop everything but the blue cheese in into that jar trap the aelk with your immersion

Blender and start blitzing from there slowly drizzle in the fat in our case a neutral oil until things start to emulsify and get creamy and thick about halfway through using up all the oil you can start to move a little faster and boom there you have it this is basically

A flavored mayonnaise or if you want to be a fancy boy about it in aoli it does need a little bit of salt so I’m just going to add that in we’re going to add our chunks in there chunk Nation yeah all right next on the docket for

Brian’s sandwich we have some buffalo sauce which is actually extremely easy to make like shocking and weirdly easy to make let me show you if you’re going straight minimalist All Buffalo sauce is is hot sauce butter and a little bit of salt but we’re going to add in a few

Other things to flavor tize our sauce MC Derber sauce a little bit of vinegar minced garlic it’s about four cloves and a bunch of butter we’ll pinch of kosher for good measure bring it up to a simmer whisk in the butter make sure it’s all mixed together and boom literally that’s it that’s

Buffalo sauce uh now you know how to do that go ahead and add that to your LinkedIn so we’ll set that aside and get going on our chicky Brian Sando features a classic southern fried chicken so we got a three station dry wet dry setup featuring plain all-purpose flour

Seasoned all-purpose flour just with what you see here so we got garlic powder black pepper paprika and cayenne and for the wet we have have some plain buttermilk with a pinch of koser salt one creative tip that Brian teaches is to drizzle a bit of Buttermilk in the

Dry flour mixture to hydrate it slightly this creates clumps that stick to the chicken and give it that craggly crunchy exterior that we’ve just come to expect with good fried chicken once again we have our jumbo boneless skinless chicken thighs that were not brinded or salted or anything overnight these are straight

Up we’re going in raw I personally dig this dry wet dry setup because I think that extra layer of flour helps the buttermilk stick to the chicken and it creates a thicker coating and you know who doesn’t love the breading on fried chicken that’s what gives it all its Crunch I mean look at that chicken that is looking darker than the memes on my Discover page on Instagram all right you know the drill hit it with a pinch of kosher salt and set that aside while we get working on our next Josh for our last contestant Josh from mythical

Kitchen the offshoot from Good Mythical Morning with r and Link this is maybe the weirdest chicken sandwich I’ve come across on the internet straight up and that say it a lot because I go down some weird rabbit holes um this sandwich features Takis of the blue variety and uh matter of fact the

Entire sandwich well almost the entire sandwich is blue so let’s get going here all right so the mythical blue sandwich starts with mythical blue hot sauce featuring Blue blueberries and blue spirulina powder all right let’s start with a little canola oil a little bit of shalot

Chopped up and we’re just going to sweat this down a tiny bit till it’s fragrant bloes these are Chipotle in Adobo they’re literally smoked Jalapenos in a Sauce tiny pinch of salt and you can’t forget the blue component of the sandwich cuz everything’s got to be blue look at that dude that’s crazy dude over the top there oh my God dudee look at the Spoon while this is reducing we’re going to make a quick blue cheese Mayo sauce to go with our blue Takis Sando which is exactly what it sounds like little bit of blue cheese Mayo go figure Mayo is in blue cheese mayo and a little tiny bit more of that blue Powder I

God I mean that’s one definition of blue cheese Mayo blueberries have broken down for the most Part it’ll thicken as it cools as well and we couldn’t make this sandwich without talking about these crazy pickles these are literally blue Kool-Aid pickled onions that I made with this blue Kool-Aid mix and they actually do this in the Mississippi Delta with all sorts of different colored koolaids

To like actual like whole pickles oh no oh yeah uh yeah it’s a thing Kool-Aid pickled onions all right we have our blue heat Takis and um sadly I’d be lying to you if I said that I haven’t tried these before that doesn’t really look like that but

Very citrusy very very very crunchy don’t know if you can hear that that was just an excuse for me to eat another one just a little bit of Flour just look at this all right this is where things start to get a little unhinged mythical Josh opted for chicken breasts rather than thighs so I just marinated those in a little spirulina laced seasoned buttermilk overnight and uh this is what we’re left with so here we just got a

Not so classic dry wet dry mixture again with flour then buttermilk which he also whisked eggs into and our Taki dredge wow yep that’s what I’d imagine Sully’s left ass cheek looking like all right what do we got we got dry little bit of seasoned allpurpose Flur into the butter

Milk and finally the Takis dude it’s the vulc sign that’s one breastal and this is why we wait till the end so that our blue oil doesn’t affect the other Sandos not too much remember these are takis after all they are seasoned all right that Madness is over we are done with all of the components to our sandwiches let’s Build Oh All right the moment of truth is upon us all of our Sandos are built and ready to go let’s eat them let’s go Joshua weissman’s you got your Brio bun SLO on both sides long pickles and your Korean barbecue potato starchy chicken got to flip this over all right got to unhinge

My jaw for these so H Tangy pretty sweet especially with the sloth I love how you get a kind of like a you know pickles going to be in every bite there because of those like thin little pickles the chicken continue to stay crispy which is pretty cool even

Though it’s been sitting in sauce for a minute now maybe I’m going to do Brian’s next dang dude that is picturesque man let’s go that is a classic buffalo chicken sandwich let’s see here we got the potato roll he mentioned that you can use store bought bios or if you want to

Go extra above and beyond make his potato roll recipe I didn’t do that but I got a bakery made potato roll so that’s cool talk about crispiness I was talking about that with Weiss men sandwich this is even crispier even though it’s been sitting in that buttery

Hot sauce for a long time butter lettuce nice for color I can’t really you know taste it on there because there’s just so much going on so many strong spicy flavors but I mean dude that blue cheese sauce oh it really does make it I definitely have a love for like saltier

Things rather than sweet things so this hits home for me especially just with Tang from the buffalo sauce okay mythical kitchens what are we call this mat The Nasty Patty The Nasty Patty tell me that doesn’t look like a Nasty Patty come On it’s weird man the hot sauce pretty sweet but it’s spicy so they kind of con balance each other the onions taste weirdly like Kool-Aid I know I know they’re Kool-Aid pickles so they t definitely taste like Kool-Aid but dude it’s like I thought they would almost

Taste less Kool lady if you will um but they don’t they’re very Kool lady very strong the blue cheese again very strong that color almost makes it more strong in a weird way yeah all right all right it’s time to rank these things coming in third place taking the bronze I think

You probably already know who it is but it’s got to have to be our blue boy here and it’s not just because of the blue color it’s just not really balanced um it’s a little sweet for me and the Taki flavor is a little strong but it

Was fun and it looks cool so cool Josh this doesn’t mean your forearms aren’t still diced bro you’re absolutely stunning you’re a jacked Adonis Young Prince God the silver second place JW coming in at the two slot here this thing’s been sitting for a second here so we’re getting a little sloppy

But this is a great sandwich it’s just a little sweet for me I love Korean food I love Korean barbecue it’s probably my favorite thing to eat there’s just something about that sweet Goa Jong sauce that I just don’t really want a lot of and honestly prefer with beef

Over chicken um I know apples orang is different thing but um I will say Josh your SLO fire dude uh the the shirro Dashi in there it’s almost like this Smoky fishy Bonito like Vibe and it’s it’s a great play this is a great sandwich it’s balanced it’s tasty and

It’s a close second this isn’t like an easy decision for me which means the gold big Brian langstrom’s buffalo chicken sandwich the mixture of the acidity between the pickles with that sort of vinegary punch from the sauce and then to cool it all down you got that creamy blue cheese

This would also be good with ranch but I’ll tell you right now I’ve said it before I’m on team DC I’m a blue cheese so I love it also you love to see a potato bun I mean these days everything’s on Brios Brios is great I’m

Not hating I’m not trying to be like a bread hipster it’s just cool to see it you know in the spotlight a little bit and potato buns are soft and good and and there’s a time and a place for them and this is that time in place so Brian

Pat yourself on the back clap it up um I wish I had your hair all right so now that we’ve tasted all of these divied out the rewards let’s take the best qualities from each of these three sandwiches to Frankenstein together the ultimate fried chicken sandwich I decided to dry Brian

The chicky in a creole seasoning called Tony Seas which is a fairly popular choice over at mythical kitchen then it’s into some seasoned allpurpose flour buttermilk then back in for a second round of dredging to ensure that Ultra crumly shattering exterior crungle the new word crungle I double fried for

Ultimate crispiness remember double frying always yields a crispier crustier thing if you watch any of my videos that I fry in I go into depth on that and of course you got to season fresh out the fryer so I’m hitting it with a touch more tony Seas to build we have Brian’s

Toasted potato roll followed by mythicals hot sauce that blueberry chipotle Vibe wasman SLO and pickles our chicky Brian’s blue cheese sauce and butter lettuce I just think it looks nice and to touch more of that hot sauce just on top and boom There She Blows the ultimate Fried Chicken Sandwich mashup

Made with love by some of the best YouTube has to offero baby that looks fantastic look at that blueberry D that actually looks really cool color contrast wise so a little bit from everyone in this sandwich right this is the uh the ultimate if you will I will
