Great video, I'll be making it soon. One thing, however: Check your weights. In my kitchen 2 cups of flour weigh 240 grams!
The Popeyes chicken sandwich hype is real. I had it for the first time last week at the airport in Singapore. Had to buy another. KFC doesn’t even come close in my opinion.
Garbage food for garbage people. Americans are fat ignorant slobs.
Jason! I was watching random videos and ran across your channel. You have come a long way since the carrot cake recipe and the fish and chips station at Hunky Dory. Glad to see you thriving!
Jason PLEEEASE do a video on Popeyes’ classic fried chicken as well!! (If the process is any different)
Really love your videos man and the effort behind them. And of course, the effort you go through to write everything down and post the recipes to follow along. So many foodtubers publish 'recipe videos' but you go check the video description and there's nothing there. They want you to watch their video, and apparently any time you want to reference the recipe, you're supposed to skip around the video and write everything down yourself while you're trying to make it. It's gotten to the point I just refuse to watch any 'recipe' videos that don't actually post the recipe even if the food looks amazing.
Thanks again.
Yo I got an idea. Do this Pppeye's chicken recipe, but with pickle juice in the brine like ChikFilA and KFC seasoned flour
Your channel is so cool because it's so darn well explained and besides that; i live in the netherlands so we dont have popeyes over here. This way i can still try the burger! Thank you!
Thanks a lot as always for the recipes and tests Jason! You really, really go all out on the research for these, and I hope your channel gets rewarded for it soon (I can't believe its been 3 days since upload and you only got 36K views on this, hope the algorithm picks your stuff up!) If I may, can I request a Jollibee fried chicken/chicken sandwich secrets revealed video?
Now please for the love of all thats good please do chik fil a
Jason man thanks for all the work that u put in to bring us these culinary delights. Am I gonna get off my lazy ass and make it? No. But I still appreciate u putting in so much effort. 🥹
you are like the wiki leaks of fast food recipes
Excellently awesome. Definitely saved. Been hoping you'd do their spicy fried chicken, but this is almost as good. Or is the batter about the same for the fried chicken, do you think?
Any idea what kind of hot sauce they use for the spicy sandwich? Edit: saw your later comment on this. Staying tuned.
Thanks again.
Did you find any information as to which chili powder Popeye's uses for their spicey batter? Hooked on the stuff. 😎
Every Jason Farmer video I watch I wonder to myself how this channel isn't so much bigger… every single video. This is channel just continues to be a hidden gem and it's gotta be just a matter of time before it blows up.
And unrelated… at first I thought the prices of the ingredients you showed at the grocery store were INSANE and wondered where the heck you live that they're so high, until I looked up the price of the same things on our local grocery store's app and see they're the same here in PA 🤦♂$1.50 for salt, $4 for MSG, $3 for a small jar of pickles?? Didn't realize it was THIS bad 😔
Can't wait to try this! Can you try doing the waffle house waffles one day? Idk what's in them but they're SO DELICIOUS and buttery. I want the secrets LOL
You should do some Youtube Shorts, love the long videos, but it would be sweet if you uploaded some clips for your long recipes into short form.
These ingredients are hard to find at stores.
People with a freeze dryer: 😂😁
Hi Jason! I've been waiting for this video ever since you posted the teaser sammich pic (you rascal)! I just ordered all the niche ingredients and will be attempting this recipe soon 😀
Btw, around this time last year I followed your chinese take out series and posted several attempts on Reddit, including your fried rice recipe from 2022. I was thrilled to receive your message complimenting my take on your recipe! My husband and I still watch every video you post. We appreciate your research and dedication! The advice on where to find specific ingredients is especially helpful. Keep up the stellar work!
Please do their rice and beans next
Thank you! I just wanted to know what the batter was as other copy cat recipe never comes close to the crispy texture.
Was this sandwich recipe worth all of the money that you spent on the unusual ingredients that you had to purchase?
Also, you can get beef fat and make tallow yourself relatively inexpensively. I got ten pounds for free from Kroger, but you might not be so lucky because they have a national contract that involves the butchers packing up the beef trimmings and sending it to a dog food manufacturer. If you ask nicely and you have a cool butcher, he might hook you up. They have the most beef fat on hand when ribeyes or NY strips are on sale. Alternatively, HEB’s butcher shop has beef fat for 1.40 per pound and you can buy as much as they have available. You might get them to cut you a deal for a large amount it if you explain what you’re doing. Cool video, Jason!
We need the spicy mayo reciepe.
The attention to detail and accuracy is what took this video to the next level, great work! 🔥
You are my unsung cooking youtube goat, every video you make is amazing. Cheers man
Well done 👏
Eating a Popeye chicken sandwich is never a waste of time.
Bro out here befriending employees then using magic to get them to tell the secrets 😂
This man is a food scientist!
