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? 😂

Hello Joshua Weissman, I hope this message finds you well. As I watch this video, the recipe you use for Malaysia is horrendous. I would like to share a recipe for Mamak Fried Chicken with you from Resipi Che Nom. This is a truly Malaysian Fried Chicken as mostly we always eat at the mamak restaurant. Here are the ingredients: - ½ to 1 chicken - 2 inches of ginger - 5 cloves of garlic - 300g of cornflour - 1 tablespoon of coriander powder - ½ tablespoon of fennel powder - ½ tablespoon of cumin powder - 1 tablespoon of fish or meat curry powder - 1 tablespoon of Cukup Rasa seasoning powder - 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt - 3 tablespoons of rice flour - 2 eggs - ½ teaspoon of red food coloring - ½ teaspoon of orange food coloring - 1 tablespoon of lime juice - Curry leaves Thank you, and I hope you enjoy this recipe! I just found your comment just now, so i’m rooting for you 😗

As a Malaysian, I can say that looks NOTHING like Ayam Goreng. If you want THE BEST Ayam Goreng, it has to be Ayam Goreng Berempah aka Spiced Fried Chicken. The complex and rich flavours will hit you like a truck while the slight crunch will leave you wanting more. EASILY Top 3 Best Fried Chicken in the world.

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.

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.

Japan and Korea can never seem to escape competing against each other.

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

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😭💀

Fun fact: there are more fried chicken shops in Korea than all the Mcdonalds around the world combined.

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've had korean fried chicken once in my life and when I tell you I went to heaven while eating that chicken, omg I started to float like the girl from the conjouring

the final is basically "fried chicken vs fried chicken's sauce" lmao

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.

Love your content, brother keep it up!!

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.
