- Eric Sze, chef and owner of 886 and Wewen in New York City, is making BDSM chicken - an entire chicken that’s brined, deboned, marinated in soy milk, and then fried. This spectacle of a dish is made with a special pullet chicken, a magical Taiwanese spice blend, and a roasted chive slaw.

😂 I thought he was gonna tie the chicken up 🤣
It is SUBmerged in oil😂
I did too.🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
🤪🤪🤪 I had big hopes, lmaooooo.😆😆😆
Yeah me too lol 😂😂😂😂 I’m a little disappointed 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌
That would be Hen-tie. Bondage most fowl!
Should’ve spanked it a little
i hope everyone appreciates the long ass road this chef took to finally arrive at this recipe. the time it took to perfect the milk marinade, the seasoning for the dredged, the slaw…. congrats chef. this shit looks bomb af.
Took him almost a year I believe!
Almost as long as your long est sentence
@@bustersean71 Victorian literature would destroy your entire world view if you think that's a long sentence.
8:12 "It's not really a lot of shallots. It's shal-little." Def gonna try this recipe just because of that clever pun.
I had to pause the video to laugh out loud at this pun
I ugly laughed. Top tier Dad joke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro I fucking geeked
@@PKDionysus best laugh for the soul
Been gigglig like mad for minutes!
Eric is the man!
Nice, you're here too. Have you visited his restaurant?
bro he mortal kombated the chicken 💀
Damn Kai never expected to see you here in the yt wild. You got good taste my man!
Good taste in cooking vids!
@munchies FYI at 0:31 the subtitles say "Yan Su Ji" (Popcorn Chicken) but Eric actually says Dou Ru Ji (豆乳雞) which is a slightly different, but lesser known dish.
Had the pleasure of trying it at his restaurant opening earlier this year. So damn good!!!! Thank you Eric for the hospitality and great food you’re a master.
so damn good...it's the MSG works.
@@kwxj61b what’s MSG champ?
eh, it's okay.
Pleasure
I tried it. It’s eh. 6/10
This is prolly the most complicated fried chicken recipe to arrive at prolly the most aesthetic looking finished product, you know it’s has to be good, his passion wouldn’t allow for anything less…
This could actually rival korean fried chicken
@@dextew69 Korean fried chicken isn't hard. It's basically unseasoned chicken with various flavored sauce. There's probably some who tried to brine it or something but brine or marinating the chicken isn't the korean friend chicken way. They are all about the sauce.
...probably* / it* has to be good ...
Dude's so humble he caught himself getting high on his own supply and quickly pulled it back 😂 12:43
I'm always been meaning to dine out solo and had the perfect opportunity to do so at WenWen. I made their earliest res slot just to try this item. HANDS. DOWN. the BEST Fried Chicken dish I've ever eaten. I eat a lot of fried chicken (fast foodFC, KoreanFC, SouthernFC, etc.) but this takes the cake. The seasoning is on point and you can definitely taste how fresh the chicken is.
New York City needs more Taiwanese cuisine representation and Eric is helping to lead the way. Richard at Ho Foods makes a super delicious Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. The gang at Yumpling in LIC is also killing it too.
It used to be southern fried chicken as the baseline of good chicken, then came along that south korean standard which became the new baseline. But I'm telling ya, some of the best I've tried have been Taiwanese fried chicken. For me personally, even a commercial brand like HotStar chicken is bangin'. There's this crunch yet a slight pleasant chew to its batter, its indescribable and makes you want to keep eating
@@trcs3079 hell yeah when i was in taiwan the food was amazing, i was shocked that they master deep fried food there, whether it be chicken, squid or even deep fried mushroom!
hey you are an asshole for rubbing it in :( I want to try it, but I live 2 far away. Thanks bro! You could have said it tasted awful then at least i could live with myself
True, out of all the greasy shit in the shopping center, hot star gives a rare freshness
Watched another video featuring this chef and it was about the opening of WenWen and its really amazing that his philosophy on food service and actual food preparation was more or less the same. I remember him saying that they need to give it their all because their customers decided to spend their hard earned money on his restaurant. In this video he said he was meticulous with snipping the tendons to make sure the chicken came out perfect cause it'd be a waste of its life if he fucked it up. Amazing man. More power to his business and I hope I'd be able to try his food someday.
Classic chef terminology: Slice, cut, carve, trim.
Eric: Mortal kombat, samurai that shit, Snip you're goddamn tendons,
"This chicken gave it's life for us to enjoy. Don't fuck it up!"
More people should think this way
Thank you Chef Eric and Munchies.
It's one thing to feature a great chef but when he is also a great teacher that just benefits all viewers.
"Snip your goddamn tendons." That's an aphorism that can be applied to many situations in life. It basically means, "Don't skip that last step after doing a lot of hard work. Not doing it can jeopardize all the previous work that's already been done." Yeah..."Snip your goddamn tendons." It's succinct and sounds cool.
Whoa this is cool, I love that Eric always shows us what he actually does. If you haven't tried this, this is one of those fried chickens you must try, absolutely delish
This video taught me so much about the science of frying...awesome work! Thank you chef.
this recipe is a real display of craftsmanship and love of food
That deboning technique is one of the best. Am taking it for my use yo. Thanks chef!
Looks amazing. Putting your places on my must visit list.
I love the no nonsense tutorial.
Such a humble chef!!! Respect!!!!!!!
love this guy the chicken looks so good!
Looks great thanks for the recipe!
“Snip your god damn tendons”. Advice I live and die by
Achilles is not amused.
Omg this guy was hilarious. I really liked the building metaphor for cooking and that chicken recipe looks like a winner winner!
Really great with a new technique. Thank you much friend, for sharing.
Love the effort in this recepie
I do not live in NYC. So I will have to try this complicated recipe myself cause that looks amazing
This indeed looks delicious
God bless the home cook who tries this recipe....
Rather pay this dad joke spewing, Mortal Mombat fan my $50. I avoid frying chicken alone cause of the amount of oil needed for 1 meal and the stench that lingers for days 😅
That's a labor of love ❤️ nice work chef
The sound on this video is amazing.
That slaw 🥗 looks out of this world! 🌎 🤩😋
I wanna be friend with this guy. Great food, chill vibe and a wonderful taste for aprons.
Best video on youtube showing you how to debone a chicken. Well done!
This looks amazing. Respect.
That looks incredible!
Damn it looks so good !!! That crunch ! I love it when chicken is fried like this.
Pullets aren't a breed; they're any laying hen less before they reach laying maturity. At the point they begin laying eggs they are pol-hens, and then hens at about 1yr with consistent laying. Yellow fat comes from the cartenoid beta-carotene which is often found in a free range diet.
I apologize for the for the farmer spiel I just don't want to see someone get confused and scammed buying chicken for big-poultry is cutthroat.
on a brighter note; You absolutely give this bird the respect it deserves with this dish. I love love love how you take a moment to respect the birds life, and break it down mortal kombat style (awesome spine rip!) wasting absolutely nothing! Gorgeous presentation Chef; I would order this over boring ass fried v-wings every day of the week!
Wow! What an amazing dish.
I can tell by the look of it, this Fry chicken is next level stuff!
I wish I can eat it someday in NY!
This was awesome !
Thank you for sharing this incredible recipe young chef! So lucky for us that you chose this path!
I like this guy. I’m gonna try this recipe!
豪快な料理😍美味しそう‼️🤤
This dude is great. I could listen to him talk about cooking all damn day. And I even learned a few new things and why it is the way it is. 10/10 I want to make sweet love to this fried chicken.
Your slaw looks absolutely yum!!
The background jazz really class up the whole video!
Love his personality
I'm like "I really have to try these flavours next time I make fried tofu" and then he puts the silken in the blender and I thought 'I have to tofu my tofu'
This chef is awesome.
Nice.. mouth watering
Amazing hosting as always.
I really enjoyed watching this, Eric is really funny
I gotta say he works really delicately
Wow, that is awesome
*MORTAL KOMBAT STYLE!!* yeessssssssss! More of Eric and Lucas Sin please!
Correction for the subtitles - at 00:30 he says 豆乳雞 which is “dou ru ji” but the subtitle say “yan su ji” which is 鹽酥雞
True talent
Looks fire Chef.
This guy is literally Eddie from Fresh off the Boat haha, love him!
Definitely more natural
Im stunned
this guy is amazingly skilled
He has the same energy as Issac Toupes…definitely want to see more from Eric Sze
Very innovative
as soon as I see furu, I'm in. I love that stuff.
That looks and sounds amazing!
I love him!
I’m making this!!!
looove the apron
dude's a surgeon for removing the bones from the chicken, I was amazed throughout the process, hella mindblown!
Awesome
I'm never gonna fry chicken at home, but i did enjoy watching the whole viyow
That looks good
Tried this recipe. Its great. one thing I will add though is that there was far too much marinade, batter, and dusting for just one chicken, like 2-3x more. So for anyone else whos going to try this recipe I would recommend halving all the ingredient amounts proportionately.
I ccan tell how overly self-aware he was at the end eating it. He was really enjoying it but didnt wanna talk himself up too much or appear like a stereo-typical chef being all "Yeah, its not bad" trying to still be self-critical, but theen you see him catch himself enjoying it too much "Mm! So good- uh, i mean, its alright." Cute.
The kid from fresh off the boat grew up!
Freshness with meat and seafood is always the key. Was taught how to cut/season/cook since 13 by my grandmother but not until covid did I realize why it was never EXACTLY like I would cook with her lol
This looks SO GOOD! Lots of effort though, and 52 is reasonable
Straight up, I would love to drink a beer with this guy. What a fucking solid recipe too, god damn
This is a super legit recipe guys. Give it a try.
I wanna taste this!
I like this dude's attitude :)
I love this guy 😂
thats too good
@3:00 Flawless Victory LOL
Been deboning my chicken a lot lately cuz lazy. I’m surprised I been doin it fairly correctly. Gotta try this way tho. Looks fun.
Holy shit that chicken looks amazing. Also the chef is such a fun guy!
finally a recipe i can whip up
I love his apron. That's cute ☺️
WOW!
That's a buttload of labor that goes into that dish -- I can imagine it's quite expensive. And another thing, in spite of the complexity, I actually learned a few things regarding the deboning of a chicken.
$52. pretty expensive in my book, but reasonable for a once in a while thing to celebrate something. for the labor. I think it's worth the money. i just can't imagine it's three times as delicious as something you can get for a third of the price.
@@clee89 I attempted to recreate the chicken. I made a few substitutions though. 1) For the chicken used, I couldn't/didn't feel like sourcing a whole chicken with head and feet, so I just used a nice quality but regular whole chicken 2) substituted red miso for the furu in the brine/marinade, 3) marinated chicken for only 1 day and let the batter rest for 3 hours instead of 5 or 6 hours, and 4) I subbed cornstarch for sweet potato starch. Besides those 4 differences, I followed everything else to the recipe and it was probably the best fried chicken I've ever had/made, so I'm sure his is definitely worth $52, which is probably just $10 shy of what I paid for all of the ingredients.
@@geraldallen4615 Yeah, $52 is CHEAP AF. People are conditioned to see Chinese food as "cheap", and whenever I see comments like that, it's infuriating. Walk into a pretentious ass French/Scandinavian/European restaurant where they don't even do 1/2 the prep, but charge $150 for an entree, and people don't bat an eye.
This is subtle racism.
@@user-tz9jh6pv2j mans said Taiwanese food like 4 times in the video lol
@@user-tz9jh6pv2j It's not necessarily it being the "Chinese food is 'cheap'" angle, though that may factor slightly. It's more expected to be people seeing fried chicken as cheap, since plenty of places charge cheaper for a seemingly similar amount of food at half the price point.
The difference is not only the freshness of the quality, but that it's a whole chicken preparation, with a really intricate battering and breading. KFC or other places have a simple 2 step, with just flour + egg dredge batter.
This shit is *complicated*, with a small margin for substitutions, but most importantly, no margin for step skipping. If any part of this process is skipped, the whole thing is compromised. And to think they have to do that for every chicken, this is absolutely worth the $10 markup for ingredients.
this chef has a great sense of humor
Headed to 886 right now
How in hell did this end up one of the most complicated recipes I’ve ever seen on this channel?
@Daniel Hollingsworth I don't really understand why he would not use flour because it has protein content which hydrates and gives that flour-like texture when fried, but then use a pure starch which gives a very light, crispy batter - but then add protein back in via tofu. Why not just use flour? Seems a bit of an odd move to me!
@@MrJACarroll I think the reason he did that is to counter act what gluten does to a batter. The proteins in tofu are inherently different than gluten and probably get you a different texture
@@MrJACarroll it’s because he used soy milk.
@@MrJACarroll hes said it was to avoid forming gluten in the batter which makes it like 'a noodle'
I was full and now I’m hungry again 😂
I thought there was going to be some “interesting” cooking methods used when I read “BDSM Chicken” 😂
I had to Google that to be sure I wasn't cray.
well he used the burner
@Vannie Eats 👀
"dIslocate the feet", "put finger into the esophagus and pull the head and ribcage away", "snip all the tendon"
The entire butchering process was very "interesting"
Idk if they wrote that just for views or what
Need more long island teas
I could listen to this guy talk about cooking all day long
That reminds me of the chicken sold in mexico with the yellow skin
