Which Country Has The Best Fried Chicken?

Hey guys, I’m hearing you out on the Backhendl. That was our mistake on the research. Normally I’m really good about this, somehow this one slipped through the cracks. We love you Austria and Malaysia and Indonesia! Sorry for the improper representation!!! Sometimes with all the regional differences even within singular countries we on very rare occasion miss stuff. We will take another stab at backhendl and ayam goreng to right this wrong! Love you all, and thank you for the feedback here! As a side note there all the fried chickens on this list was absolutely delicious and worth eating for every single person who watches this video. ❤

Hi Joshua, as a Malaysian, and been a cooks for 2 years in Malay Kitchen, traditionally, we don’t fried our chicken with the flour breading, but we add a bit of corn starch in the marinade, and fried it with the marinade, the marinade itself will become crispy and flavourful.

who invited Italy to the fried chicken party? 😂

I want a redo with professionals from each country doing their renditions. I’m American and have worked 20 years in the industry; Japanese, French, Austrian, southeastern Asia are my favorite cuisines. I assumed southern fried chicken and Korea would be in the finals.

a little tip for those of you new to Korean Fried Chicken. Beer and fried chicken is big in Korea and this may sound counterintuitive but eat with light beer instead of IPA or beer with strong flavor. The idea being, you don't want strong beer taste to counter the chicken flavor. Light beer does enough to counter the grease you are taking in and goes well with the different flavors of Korean fried chicken.

Chef from Austria here: That is NOT Backhendl. You made Chicken Schnitzel. Backhendl uses whole chicken parts and also does not fry in Butterschmalz, we use more neutral oils/fats.

Refusing to make proper pollo chucho but proceeding to make yangnyeom properly is crazy work😭💀

Wow! I need try Korean fried chicken. Thanks for recipe in the description box.

Brazilian from Rio here. "Frango à passarinho" needs to have skin and bones, otherwise it's not the real thing, it just becomes a "diet chicharrón" like he said. Also we use a smaller (younger) chicken to make it. Finding a small chicken maybe hard to find in the US. So it's kind of similar to chicken wings and drumsticks with no sauce and a lot more flavor, but smaller pieces. That's why it's called "Frango à passarinho", which literally translates to "Chicken in the style of a little bird". It's also generally a starter, not a main dish. Most people just have it drinking beer. Great video and much love ❤

What's surprising about Korean chicken is that it has so many varieties. Fried and Yangnyeom chicken are classic, and there are literally thousands of different flavors of chicken, with new flavors being developed and released every day and week. That's the best thing about Korean chicken.

Love your content, brother keep it up!!

Honduran here. I was in Honduras back in January and this brought back Al the great memories from eating pollo chuco (pronounced “po- yo chu-ko”). The chicken is indeed veeerryy good but all the toppings and sauces really what elevates it beyond all the chicken I’ve eaten here the US

Indian here, chicken pakora is very different based on what region you are in, in my hometown we use yogurt as part of the marinade, very different results. Edit- most people prefer chicken 65/crispy over pakora anyways

My wife is from Honduras, and she definitely enjoyed this episode!! She was very disappointed that you didnt make the whole recipe and only the chicken. The sauce and toppings that come with the chicken is what helps make it amazing. I hope you do this again, everyone loves fried chicken! We love your channel, keep it up!

i have thoroughly enjoyed this video 😂 need more like it pls

amazing video from josh here the bracket screen was awesome and helped visualize things

That is no backhendl, backhendl is whole chicken leg made in flour, eggwash, breadcrumbs and deep fried. Not like schnitzel

After being stationed in Korea for 15 months back when I was in the Army, I can hands down say that Korean Fried Chicken is the best fried chicken I've ever had.

These videos are nice to see various different culinary cultures competing head to head, but it's also showed me personally that trying new things, even if those new things are just methods of preparing and cooking the same things, is a valuable way to broaden one's perspective and to try new things. I think many of these fried chicken styles are worthy of trying if one wants to see a new side to such a versatile animal.

every region in India has its own unique recipe for chicken pakora. The spice mix, marination, and overall taste vary greatly from one region to another. However, the common elements across all these variations are the method of frying and the use of besan (gram flour). It's fascinating how a simple dish like chicken pakora can have such diverse flavors based on regional differences. you should try different versions of chicken pakora from various regions. the type that you made is more related to the south Indian type(not specific)
