    • @howtoavenge1016
      @howtoavenge1016 Před 5 lety +11

      Collin i also like YSAC’s method: dry the chicken, cover it in olive oil and salt and pepper, then put it in a 450 degree oven for like 10 minutes. super tasty, super juicy
      edit: this is a no-butterfly method

    • @Craftee6
      @Craftee6 Před 5 lety +3

      No offense, but... You needed instruction for that?
      It's rather obvious that when as you increase temperature the insides of whatever you're frying get increasingly more raw assuming you get outside to similar states. If it's overcooked it will be dry. So if you get anything dry when frying, just fry on higher heat next time, and vice versa, if it was too raw just reduce the heat. It's sth I learned on my own when I was 15 lmao.

    Definitely fry the quesadillas in butter instead of oil. I also like to put a little bit of sauce in mine; a decent knock off of Taco Bell's creamy jalapeno sauce: mayo, sour cream, cumin, minced jalapenos and some juice from the can, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

    Just made this for lunch, I have to say this is one of the best quesadilla recipes I've tried!!! Marinating the chicken really made a huge difference in terms of flavor, compared to many other recipes I've tried where the chicken is really bland and you have to dump alot of condiments just to get a kick. The seasoning and the inclusion of lime was just perfect! It added a tangyness to the chicken and speaking of the chicken, it was just juicy, moist and full of flavor!! I'm actually so glad I chose this recipe while I was scrolling through many others!!

    fun fact! in el salvador a quesadilla is actually a sort of cheesy bread that has a consistency kind of like cornbread. if you ever want to try something new, i would definitely suggest looking into some salvadoran cuisine! Quesadilla Salvadoreña, Chuco, Pupusas, and Tamales Salvadoreños would be super fun to watch! Or maybe sweets like Semita or Horchata Salvadoreño. It could also make for a fun episode about the differences between Mexican cuisine and Salvadoran cuisine of the same name!

    Best way to end a week (Easter weekend). Is by sitting back and watching binging with babish. Calm,straightforward, and I learn something in the process.

      Having gone to culinary school, I can safely say yes, it IS a joke. Save your money kids and just go work in restaurants.

    The best quesadilla I've ever had was at a dinner attached to a gas station in Kentucky. The place smelled of old cigarette smoke and home cooking. It had a great wait-staff and phenomenal food. My God, it was an experience.

      The best quesadilla I’ve ever had was here in MD. Awesome little locale called Fiesta Mexicana in Golden Ring. They’re done like empanadas and filled with queso fresco. Absolutely delicious.

    These came out so well! I could only get pre-cut steak, and the fire alarms went off a few times, but my friends (after a rough day of exams) really loved them and it made them smile! Thanks for giving me a great recipe and giving me a chance to share something delicious and special with the people I care about :D
