Now I'm mad that I can't have it
Chef Eric is legit!!
basically Nashville style but Chinese chili oil.
MSG is one of the biggest triggers of migraines. Chef's that use MSG are lazy. STOP USING MSG!!!
I trust Blaylock, an MD who wrote a 300 page book called "EXcitotoxins" on MSG. I don't think anyone spends a year writing a book of this length for nothing. Having an MD and MS in Nutrition, anyone who doesn't believe Blaylock over a Chinese Chef has serious issues. MSG is the most toxic substance to the brain in nutrition. No elderly or infant should go anywhere near it. Aspartame is the same. I like how a Chef has the chutzpah to chalenge science. You're a Chef. We don't challenge you on chicken. Stay in your lane.
6:33 that's like next level Nashville Hot Chicken.
2:30 YES!!! You're correct
why oh why did they spoil it with bread and butter pickles? Everything about this sandwich looks amazing until not hearing the words "kosher dill pickles" at the end…
but yes I'm still going to head down to Pecking House to try this when I get to town on Thursday
Uncle Roger “approved” I think
7:06 find someone that looks at you the way this guy looks at chicken.
Oh yeah I need some of that.
MSG FUIYOOOOOOH
Well I know what I am hungry for now
Happy Chinese New Year. It's the year of the horse to shine.
Looked great until you put the sauce on. I'm.out at that point.
What a funny guy to watch lol

NYC has the most amazing restaurants!
structural integrity on a chicken sandwich is crazy lmao
There’s not many chefs explaining cooking processes as well as him. Fire looking sandwich 🔥
Went there 4 times already, the Chili chicken sando is better on the Burger bun instead of the golden toast

I saw in documentaries what chickens have to suffer for such dishes.
I will never eat that again😢
That looks so fire 🔥🔥🔥
Bread and butter pickles whyyyyyy 😔😢
Beauty!
let me guess…. chicken (breaded and fried), a bun, some mayo, and pickles? GTFOH…
HOW THE FUQ IS THAT SOMETHING SPECIAL BON APPETITE? IT'S JUST ANOTHER FUQING CHICKEN SANDWICH BUT OH IT HAS ASIAN SPICE? OR JUST CHILE? ITS NOT SPECIAL, YOU STUPID HIPSTERS…
Yes, season season and more seasoning.
Chinese people hate visual dark meat but love to eat it 😂 along with fleas.
Wow, this guy is fantastic on camera. Just a great presence and personality for it.
When chef Eric was staring lovingly at the fried chicken thigh – I was waiting for it to say "paint me like on of your french girls"
Looks like he came to the same technique as ATK. Thick batter with flour dredge.
EricH, EricS, and Lucas should do a show together. I think the Internet might explode if that happened.
This guy is awesome! Perfect personality and explanation
Worst food poisoning of my life after eating here.
Looks like amazing.Chicken sandwich is so epic
Uhh first time being human…how does one tell what’s crispy and what is crunchy and how are those two not exactly the same 😳 my naive Betty Crocker brain is doin an OS update
Always respect those who use thighs for fried chicken sandwich.
