Chicken Parmigiana varies all over the world, so let’s pit Australia against America and see which comes out best – Australia’s ham-laced, crispy parmi or America’s spaghetti-sided, juicy parm? What country’s recipe is your favourite parmigiana/parmesan?

Just a little note – you can now listen to my video in Spanish. Simply select the Spanish audio option in the settings while watching.

  1. Hi Andy, have you tried to make gemista? Rice stuffed vegetables greekstyle (no minced meat). Greetings from Europe!

  2. Hi Andy! I'm from Maryland and wasn't aware that the Chicken Parm was started in my home state. Thank you for the education! I do the american version most of the time, but I use panko. I use a little bit of Oregano with a bit more Basil. I guess I I'm half and half. 😂 I'll try the ham next time. Cheers! Love your channel!

  3. Please can you do the Chicken Parmo, which originated from Middlesbrough which has bechamel instead of tomato sauce.

  4. Love the little details of using a us madein pan for the American parmie and the Aussie solidteknics for the Aussie parmie

  5. I'd probably take the American version over the Australian, but I think adding the ham to it would be a winner overall.

  6. I love the Aussie pronunciation of Maryland as Mary Land. In the US it is pronounced like the name Marilyn. I am sure I would butcher your town names as a New Yorker. Love your channel land your book

  7. So being a yankee, my Parma sauce is more like the Aussie version with oregano. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I am totally trying this with ham next time!

  8. You know what Andy if it were served as the Workers club Buffet circ 1997 I bet we would be topping it with both Pasta and chippys thanks for the Comparison it makes sense with the pasta but I would like to keep my Australian birthrite and I just stick with the Chippy way

  9. W h y not combine? Put yours on pasta with a side of either fries or salad? I mean personally I'd like to eat both lol or any combination of the of the recipes you mentioned.. as long as its breaded chicken covered in sauce and mozz, I'm in. 👍

  10. Summer parmi(Aussie), winter parmi(USA) . Now they are both winners . Mind you the real winners are us getting to enjoy your content. 😊

  11. Keys to a good Aussie parma
    – Panko breadcrumbs
    – Triple smoked ham
    – Basic Aussie pub salad made with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato, Spanish onion and some dressing
    – Good chips
    – Big enough plate so that the parma don't sit on the chips and they get soggy.

  12. I love a good Parma. One thing that separates a good Parma from a great Parma is how it goes under the grill. If you put it on a tray, the bottom can become soggy. Put it on a rack and you will always have a crispy bottom

  13. Probably good timing to propose to Katelyn, before you get voted off the island. sure up that immigration status mate. Just atrocious.
